Hey!
For skyping could we do it Monday morning 7:30 my time? I
think that would be the evening of the 25th for you.
Thank you for sending that package a few weeks ago, It has
been a ton of fun opening one every day. I think one of my favorites has been
the taco seasoning. It made us both laugh.
This month our entire mission has been participating in the
25 day Christmas challenge thing but it has been modified a little so that we
could do everything as missionaries. Today one of the things I need to do is
"Remind my parents about emergency preparation." So, there it is. You
have been reminded.
This week has been a lot of fun. On Friday we were doing
weekly planning when we got a phone call from President Teh and he said that we
was coming down for the weekend and wanted to take us out to dinner. It was
supper unexpected. It takes about 7-8 hours to travel from our area to the
mission home, we are the furthest elders away so this area never gets any
visits from anyone, let alone the mission president. On Sunday he came to church
and I got to translate for him. He has pretty sophisticated English so it was a
bit of a struggle translating a few things he said. My favorite line I
attempted to translate was "Missionary work is the lifeblood of the
church." My companion started laughing in the congregation when our
President said that because he knew I was clueless as to how to translate that.
In the end it ended up going all right though. After church on Sunday they came
to inspect our apartment and I also had to renew my temple recommend so we
ended up doing that in a really small spare room we use as storage space and a
changing room. It was an interesting experience. It all ended up being a ton of
fun and I was really glad we got to spend a little time with them this weekend.
This next week is going to be really packed. We will be
going on exchanges, we are going to a zone conference, our branch has a
Christmas party and we already have a bunch of lessons set up for next week. It
should be a lot of fun.
I hope you both have a Christmas week! I love you both!
