Hey guys!
This week was INSANE!!! We had our Christmas Conference for our mission on Saturday and we had to have 2 songs ready and a skit as a zone. And our zone started all of that on...Tuesday. So one top of the office work, my comp and I also had to stress about the zone stuff. But we ended up only singing one song in the conference (Jingle Bell Rock) and we did our skit. Elder Tipton and I did the choreography for Jingle Bell Rock, it was great haha. Oh and I found out that something is wrong with my camera during the Conference. I charged my camera all day and when I wanted to take a picture, my camera wouldn't turn on :( AHHHH! So I will get photos from other missionaries to send. Tuesday, was a day full of tests of my patience with a TON of rude people. Man, now that I think of it these past two weeks have been the hardest and most stressful of my life for various reasons. However, I'm still trucking a long...don't worry, haha. Thursday night we saw a cop run by us chasing a guy who robbed someone and they ran into traffic and the cop shot his gun and it was definitely an experience I won't forget, haha. And then last night we went with a member and handed out hot chocolate, bread, and tamales to the people of the street. Now that was a really cool experience! You could tell how much they appreciated it and they left and told their friends and then their friends came to us. We ended up walking through some pretty sketchy areas but nothing happened. Okay well we are getting kicked out of the offices because apparently they are going to paint now. So I guess I will talk to you guys later! Love you guys and thanks for everything and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
