It was so nice to talk to all of you on Christmas! Seriously. It made my year!!!! Things I learned:
MY
FAMILY IS CRAZY (in a good way) all the other missionaries could hear
everything we were saying and I was in a different room with the door
closed... hahaha.
I miss you all more than I expected to!
I wouldn't be the missionary I am without all of you!!!
That being said, Thank you... And stop promising me to random strangers in Brazil and utah singles wards.
It
was an amazing Christmas!!!! We started off with a visit from my girl
Marketa from Prague. It was a great visit. Then we spent Christmas Eve
visiting members and showing them a 5 minute film then bearing our
testimony of Jesus Christ. It was amazing. We have wonderful members in
this part of God's vineyard. The members in Plzen are just so friendly
and genuinely pray for the missionaries success. It is a beautiful
thing. Then for Christmas Eve dinner all the missionaries got invited to
a members house. She made us... get this... Fried Chicken and potato
salad... Traditional Czech Christmas food. I thought that was funny
since I am used to fried chicken and potato salad but prepared in a
whole different way. A little bit of southern comfort for me during my
Christmas in the Czech Republic. It was pretty funny. Then we had
millions of things called sucrovy which are just these tiny Christmas
cookies. Every cookie tastes different though. It's crazy. I'll have to
send pictures. We literally eat thousands of these things. Needless to
say I am F-A-T. I have a New Year's Resolution to give up milka bars
(the chocolate here).
Then for Christmas we visited a
hospital and sang to this man. It was so cute. He asked where we were
from and we told him America and he was shocked that we had come all the
way from America to sing for him on Christmas. Then he wished us health
so that we wouldn't end up in the hospital like him. It was really
cute. He sang along to the carols we sang... it was awesome. Then we had
lunch with our district. And dinner with some members who didn't have
family to go home to.
The day after Christmas was
probably the funniest because we went around singing at places where we
thought people would be, but Plzen is pretty small and so there was no
one out. We were basically singing to ourselves. It was definitely an
experience that I will never forget. I have never sung so much in my
life for an audience as I have on my mission... I'm not sure if that's a
good or a bad thing. hahhaha.
The
holidays were so wonderful but I am really excited for everything to go
back to normal and to get back to normal missionary work. I have souls
to save here! hahaha. But really I am super excited for what the New
Year will bring. It is truly a time to reflect on how to improve and
change and get better (as is every new day that comes) because "a
marvelous work is about to come forth among the Children of men" and I
get to be apart of it! #STOKED
I miss you all so so so much! Have Fun at Annika's wedding!!!! Do the stanky leg for me!
