Hello all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  So, this week was interesting. We realized early this week that the person with a baptismal date had that date THIS WEEEK!!!!!! So, it was a scramble to get things ready, and then she cancelled the baptism. So, that was a bit of a releif, because I didn't want her to get baptized that fast, however, I do feel she is ready to be baptized, I am not sure if she is ready to be an active member of the church, which is what we want. So that took up a large part of our week. Oh, momm, so [the other Elder from our Stake] is my district leader, If i didnt already tell you, and this week we are going to be going on splits together. I hope it goes well! Umm, apart from that, I am just trying to get to know the area, the bus routes, the investigators and less actives, the members. Etc. But this week had a rewally crazy fun side because we had a ward activity for Christmas, and the Ward decided to get creative with it, and made "A Night In Bethlahem." So, basicaly we all dressed up as if we lived in Bethlahem, and went to the Gym, wherein the place was done up like it was a marketplace in Bethlahem. So we ate food that was from the time, and location (which was all really good, btw) and then we had little activities to do, like look up your  name in Hebrew, and learn what a carpenter did, etc. It was a huge success, and at the end of the activity, certain members acted out the Nativity while the rest of us sang hymns. It was super cool! I got a few pictures.

  I am going to ask president about taking videos on your mission, because apparrently he did that or took recorkdings for his journal entries, and I thought that would be a cool idea for my journal. anywho, I love youy all and will talk to you all later!

LOVE!!!!!!
