Merry Christmas everyone!
Short and sweet, I got a package from my family and I love them they are so funny. I got a frisbee, which I haven't been able to throw in so long, and just throwing it...so simple, but it makes me so happy hahaha.
I loved watching the Christ Child, and my Dad invited me to share something with my district. So I did! We watched the Christ Child during District Council, and then wrote "What I know" about Jesus Christ, and "How I feel" about Jesus Christ. And this makes up our testimonies. It was interesting to think of how little we really know about the Savior, and how much he knows about us. He understands me, but do I really understand him? I loved hearing from the other missionaries how they felt after the spiritual activity. One was really grateful to see how much she really does know about her Savior. And I love that. We can always learn more, but we do know simple truths that we can enjoy knowing.
Christmas celebrations? We have some fun sock snowmen, Elder Santa Claus looked amazing, we sang the 12 days of Christmas missionary style (really liked that idea), and also played this game I call Best/Worst. So each of us wrote a title for our Best Christmas/Worst, and Best gift/worst gift for Christmas. then wrote 32 blanks on the chalkboard and we guess which missionary that one applies to... Needless to say, it was fun and incredibly hard hahaha. After each answer the missionary would explain their story. Christmas is awesome, enjoy it. love it.

One day I was talking to Elder Jones about those good ol rice socks and bags with beans that you
warm up in the microwave. The next time I come to the house, he and Elder Bataclan had made a
few... So I turned them into lil friends. They went on to make a snow man, and draw sunglasses
on another. I moved them around their house like the elf on the shelf.
