Merry Christmas and Happy New
Years!!!!!!!!!!
Hope everyone had a great
holiday season :)
Dendo Christmas: xmas eve all
the missionaries in Sapporo got together and had a party with the Evans. Games,
gift exchange, nativity, caroling. Really fun! I wore the christmas sweater
that I made and got lots of comments ha :) We opened all of our presents and it
was fuuuuuunnnnn!
Christmas: we had district
meeting and it was a regular dendo day. [December 25 is not a national holiday in Japan.]
New Years we read the BoM all
day while fasting. Dendo wasn't going to be very effective so apparently that's
what the mission does every year. Then we had a huge meal (leftovers, food from
members, more food from members, mikans.) And today is P-day. We have 4 gochis
(meals with members) in the next 3 days. Oh my. Bring on the pounds! The
members here are so nice. Our investigators aren't progressing. And we are
having a hard time meeting with them but tis the season.
We had the messiah concert and
it was incredible. 3 investigators were able to come and one NA. yay! Plus I
got to see people from Atsubetsu and old investigators, etc.
We had kokans [mission splits] in Suehiro and
Asahikawa and Eniwa. Bus rides, working with new shimai, and otagai ni
[working together] learning. I'm learning to like kokans a lot more than I used to. I kind of have
to haha.
Thank you so much to the
Harpers for the christmas box!!
Love you all!!!!!!
