Merry Christmas

 Merry Christmas everyone!!!

This week was just mostly classes, so pretty boring. But there were some exciting things. To start off, we went to the temple last Tuesday. The temple was a two hour, super hot and crowded bus ride, and was super small. But it was super pretty and such an amazing experience. I was so blessed that we were able to go. There was a family there that asked if I was a tour guide, and seemed pretty disappointed that I was just a missionary. Oops. Then on the way back, one of the president's wife had me sing the National Anthem by myself. To set the stage, probably 8-10 Americans max. And I went all out and it was the greatest solo of my life haha. 

The week after that was just lessons. We learned 2 and 3 and are learning lesson 4.

Saturday was Christmas Eve for us. We played a ton of games and my competitive side came out and it was a blast. Ofc my team always won bc we're just too good. We then had a devotional and a good lunch. Later a guy from the 70 came with his wife and daughters and we played a lot of FHE games. We then had a concert thing and watched Christmas Oranges. 

Then... Christmas!!! We started off with church and my district sang and it went good. We then were able to call our families and opened Christmas presents. Let me tell you, the nerf hoop was clutch. After we had a devotional and watched The Other Side of Heaven 2. That was good but after was the exciting stuff. We went to the back and watched the sunset and sorry Utah but you take the L. You can't beat the sunsets here. After we played nerf basketball. It started as pig and my comp belly flopping and most likely broke his hand. Then we got two mattresses and had a dunk contest. It hit different. Best night ever. Stupidest night ever. This week was so baller, I loved it. The song loved this week was He'll Be There. It is such a good song. 

I invite everyone to put Christ as the center of their life and their focus this week. I love you all, thank you for the emails, I love them. I can't wait to talk to you next week. Just two pdays left. Love you, have a good week!
