Christmas!
Here's the week:
Monday
Christmas Eve was today. We saw the Maynards and it was a blast. Their adorable little girls made us little present and it was the cutest dang thing.
We've been singing a lot of Christmas songs, been given at least 3 boxes of diabetes and so much ham. It was a great day.
Tuesday
It's Christmas. Super Christmasy and full of said Christmas. We opened presents, played ball, talked to our families and went to the Abstons for dinner and hey we got presents from Sis. Abston! Ugly sweaters and such. Had a great dinner, then went to play basketball again. It was awesome
Wednesday - Saturday
Honestly it's been a total blur for the past week. Things are just cooling down. Elder Conrad is working on his talk, and he's trying a new way of doing it so that he better feels the spirit instead of just reciting a paper. I bet it'll go really well.
Sunday
Elder Conrad's talk went pretty well. I got to sit by Brother Cloud while he was on the stand. Today was our last 3 hour block for church. That's pretty crazy. That and starting in January, 11 year olds will be progressing the year that they turn 12, crazy stuff. Also, Brother Hines finally got a smartphone and he loves the camera so much, and he was really happy to get a couple pictures of us. He's pretty happy with his new Christmas present.
Monday
Today is new years eve. For today and tomorrow, we've been told to stay inside so that we don't get hurt by the partiers. Apparently it's pretty intense. We are kind of in a college area so I can see why we've been told that. In recent news: the sisters can now wear pants and the Springfield area is a bike mission now so hey that's neat.
But for today and tomorrow, we get to do whatever we want really so you know some naps are going to be happening 😁
Honestly, this last week has been a blast! All I hope is that I don't stop improving, because I definitely have a long way to go. Please keep me in your prayers, and I'll make sure to do my best in return!
With love,
Elder Johansen
