Our first notable event was Monday evening. The mission hosted an open house at the church for our stake where there was art, nativity, and the Christ Child video on display. Our friends Raymond and Hope came and said they had a wonderful time.
Tuesday
was Christmas Conference with our zone, Bay City zone, and Houston zone. We
listened to a few talks from missionaries and members in our areas. We also ate
some good food and did a service project where we tied fleece blankets to be
donated. It was awesome being able to catch up with a bunch of missionaries I
haven't seen in a while.
On
Friday we decided as a district to play ultimate Frisbee for exercise then we
went and found a bunch of Christmas decorations and clothes for the other
missionaries that wanted them.
Saturday
Morning was our ward Christmas party and we got our friend Hope to attend that
activity as well. We also got the chance to help Sis. Kern and her mother put
up lights and decorations. As a thank you we got a Christmas puzzle and each
got to pick out a nutcracker to take home. That night I was made just a little
trunky when one of the teacher's quorum members in the ward showed me his
electric guitar and I wanted to play my own super bad.
Sunday
was extra special because our friends Raymond and Hope both came to church for
the first time! They both said they enjoyed the open house and felt the spirit
and wanted more so they agreed to come to church. After church, we went to a
stake Christmas concert with a bunch of other missionaries in the zone.
This
has been an amazing December and a wonderful Christmas season. It's such a
blessing being able to focus on the Savior during this time of year
especially the gift He is for each and everyone of us.
