24 December 2013 Week 11-12
Its Christmas!
I don't have much time and
most of my letter will be pictures...sorry! Anyways we had transfers this week
and I thankfully didn't move! Neither
did my companion. But we got new
missionaries in the district which means I sadly had to say goodbye to some
really good friends but such is the life of a missionary. However I have loved getting to know our new
sisters and Elder! (Sister Jackson, Sister Greenwood, and Elder Hunt) We've
bonded pretty fast because we spent the majority of the week on a bus
entertaining each other and not getting a lot of sleep. :)
On Friday we had the
opportunity to go to an orphanage and represent LDS charities. We mostly just
played games with kids and helped them put on a Christmas show for the workers
and mentally handicapped adults that stay there also. They were so cute! A member of the church works at the orphanage
so all the kids know the primary songs.
That was fun. They loaded up our
bikes with fruit.
Then we went to Chiang Mai on Saturday for a Christmas fireside! It was so fun. So it’s winter here in
Christmas isn't really big here but the mall and chain stores all decorate for it.... It’s been fun teaching our English students and…really everyone we talk to. They ask, “What is Christmas and why is it so important to us?” I am so grateful to have a Savior and for all he has done for me!
This has been such a great
Christmas because it has really been focused on the Savior and nothing else.
Well, Lots of LOVE. More next week !
