Merry Christmas everyone! I know it’s a day late but oh well haha! This week was crazy busy but just because of Christmas celebrations. Some key highlights include:
On Wednesday and Thursday we helped a member in our ward who speaks French named Chancel create a job resume.
On Thursday we had our zone conference, and it was all Christmas themed, so it was a ton of fun. We all played a bunch of games together and had a giant gift exchange as well. Overall, it was a ton of fun hanging out with so many amazing people all in one room. We also sang songs including the 12 days of Christmas. The gift I got from the gift exchange was an ugly sweater and I love it.
Also, on Thursday our wards Elders quorum went Christmas caroling and they invited us to go with them. We had a turnout of 9 carolers, and it was a ton of fun.
On Christmas Adam (Friday) the Bassford family was nice enough to invite us over. We had a ton of fun getting to meet Brother Bassford’s family and hanging out with them. They were super nice and bought us presents to put into the pile for a gift exchange. I got a 6-pack of chicken cordon blue and I’m really excited to have it. It was also pretty cool because Brother Bassford wanted to carol for all the women in the house (his wife, his daughter, and the sister missionaries) so we had 5 of the 9 carolers sing in their house and it was pretty awesome.
On Christmas Eve Elder Funk and I went to Lee’s house and then immediately after went to the Jones family’s house where we had dinner, read a children’s Christmas book about three trees standing on a hill, and a talent show. The Elders didn’t really have an idea of what to do so the four of us all stacked up on each other and sang a Christmas song from our past day or two of caroling. After the Jones’ house we went to Elder and Sister Davies house for the rest of the night. We started a game of Skull King and then finished it Christmas day.
CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! I got extremely hyper on Christmas, and it was the most hyper I’ve been since I left home. I straight up felt like Buddy the elf. After church we went to the Davies house and stayed there the rest of the day. We did multiple get to know you questions, opened some gifts the Davies had for us, played an inflatable deer antler reindeer ring toss game, ate dinner, called family (I broke my record again for longest call with my family, I think I hit two or so hours on the call.) and then played the candy game. It’s where you pick or steal a candy and then if you’re candy is stolen you can steal. Overall Christmas was a ton of fun. Then when we finally went home at 9:30 I opened my presents.
I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and that you were able to have an amazing time with the people around you. This year I realized more than ever that Christmas is truly about remembering and celebrating Christ’s birth with those around you. I love you all so much and thank you for your support. I look forward to talking to you all next week! À bientôt!
