HO HO HO
EVERYONE!!!!
This past week
has been crazy with a bunch of traveling to different places and it was the holidays.
So let’s get right down to this.
On Wednesday we
had to go down to Toronto for Zone Conference. Zone Conference is just a big
meeting with all the missionaries and we talk about what we can do better and
how to improve ourselves. It was pretty cool. I got to see some of the people
that I came out in the mission field with and talk to them about their areas
and what they have been up to. Zone Conference was from 9:00 am to about 5:00
pm, so we were kinda ummm whats the word I am looking for here?? Ummm oh yeah I remember now, the word is
STARVING!!!!! WE WERE SOOOOOO HUNGRY!!!! We ended up going to this Caribbean
place and it was super good! I got some jerk chicken and I will tell you what
them Caribbeans know how to make some chicken because I pretty much inhaled all
of that food. But yeah that was pretty much it on Wednesday.
The only thing
exciting that happened on Thursday was that I got a haircut. That's right, ya
boi has gotta be looking clean out here while he is spreading the good word.
One of the members said she would do it for free since we have been shoveling
her driveway for her. So I ain't gonna turn down a free haircut!! However when
she was cutting my hair she was going around with the scissors and I don't know
what happened but next thing I know she has SLICED THE INSIDE OF MY EAR!!! She
started apologizing and I said it was fine until I started feeling the blood
fill the inside of my ear. But it is all good. Sometimes the cut re opens and
it starts bleeding again but a little bit of blood ain't gonna hold me back.
Saturday was
Christmas Eve and that was pretty good. We went to the Rostirolla's house for
lunch and played some games. Sister Rostirolla is SUPER competitive!!! She
would freak out if I started winning in any sort of way. She called me a
cheater like a hundred times but she could never prove it so I guess I did a pretty
good job of covering it up 😉 We also went to the Dunning's that
night to have dinner and that was pretty good. Brother Dunning was super
generous and got my companion and I tie pins with chains on them. It is super
nice and I am so grateful for him and all the things he does for us.
On Christmas day
we only had one hour of church so people could spend time with their families.
After church we went to the Jones for lunch and it was delicious as always. But
then they brought out the Monopoly game. And if you know me at all then you
know that I go hard when it comes to Monopoly. I AIN'T PLAYING NO GAMES!!!!
THIS WAS REAL LIFE GOING ON AND I WAS GOING TO WIN!!! I didn't end up winning
because we ran out of time and we had to be somewhere else. So I had to call it
a tie with Brother Jones but I would have won because I don't lose, it’s that
simple. We went to the Cepeda's for dinner and they always feed us super well.
The highlight of
the week though was definitely the opportunity I had to Skype home and talk
with my family again. I am so grateful that they give us the opportunity to do
that twice a year. I love them so much and always love talking with them and
hearing about all the great things they are doing back home. I cannot wait for
Mother's day so I can do it again.
But yeah that was
about it for this week. Thank you all so much for the continual support you
show me while I am out here. You don't know how much it means to me to read and
hear all of your up lifting comments.
I love you all
and hope everyone's holiday season is amazing.
Question of the
day: what is the best thing you got for Christmas?
