Christmas Week!

 Hey yall! 

What a week. But for real- Wednesday we had Christmas zone conference which was fun! My district and I were the tabernacle choir at council Bluffs (aka our skit was us lip syncing to motab is was fire trust me). 

Thursday was a nightmare tbh. A fun one though! We were on exchanges with the Logan Sisters but because it was icy outside we couldn't drive. We would walk but our apartment is about 10 miles from where we were going 😅 plus there was a risk for frostbite so then we weren't allowed to go outside at all. -42⁰ wind chill will do that for ya! 

On Friday our parked car got hit- while I was trying to street contact the man driving lol. It's funny now but at the time it was rough! All is well, nobody got hurt and our car is barely dented. 

Saturday aka Christmas eve was Zoey's baptism! It was a little short of flawless tbh. There was another baptism right before ours and the font hadn't been filled up yet so we had to fill it with buckets. 3 hours worth of buckets by the end of the day. Anyone know how many buckets that might be? The kicker is when the first baptism got done THEY DRAINED THE FONT. With 30 minutes until our baptism we refilled it with buckets. My arms are soreeee but it all worked out in the end and Zoey's Baptismal service was amazing!! Best way to celebrate Christ's birth is by following Him into the waters of baptism! 

On Sunday we had 2 church services and got to have dinner with Harold and another family in our ward. We got some time off on the 24th-26th so it's been lots of fun! 

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6 

I am so grateful that I got to experience another Christmas as a missionary! The feeling of the holiday completely changes as you focus on the birth of Christ. 

Jesus loves you,
