Week 8: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas yall! Hope everyone had a good one. We had a pretty quiet week, all things considered. And as usual, it felt much shorter than a week!

Most of our week consisted of regular missionary work that isn't really worth writing out haha. Needless to say, it was a lot of studying, knocking on doors, phone calls, and some naps. 

It being the Christmas season definitely makes the work difficult because nobody really wants to talk to you (which is ironic because we're literally trying to talk about Jesus...during Christmas...) oh well. The people here seem to love Jesus but never want to talk about him.

I got to skin a deer by myself this week! Yes, I feel very cool. The people at the Food Bank love us because we know what we're doing so they don't have to train us anymore. It's always fun doing service there. 

Christmas was...very quiet this year. We didn't have a member meal or anything for Christmas eve or morning, but we had our own little feast as an apartment. We had a good sacrament meeting yesterday with a nice music program as well. 

 

I will say, Christmas as a missionary is definitely odd but memorable! One Christmas down, one to go! It's really strange thinking about a year in increments of holidays. I've been out a month already! Time flies when you're busy and having fun, I guess!

I don't have much else to share about the week, so I'll wrap up here (plus, we're about to play some basketball) I love you all so much and I hope that you had an enjoyable, christ-massy Christmas! Have an awesome week everyone and a happy (and safe) New Years!
