It's been an awesome Christmas season!
I have no clue what to say that I haven't said.
The talent show on Christmas Eve was so much fun!
Christmas Eve was great in Idyllwild. We all drove up to this cabin that the Idyllwild missionaries live in, and the road was super windy and hilly, but it was a really pretty spot. I'm kind of bummed that we didn't get to see it in the daylight, because it reminds me a little bit of the mountains back home.
Christmas Day we spent hanging out with people in the ward. Also the Park Hill missionaries made us a big breakfast of crepes, whipped cream, berries, turkey bacon (whose idea was the TURKEY part?!), hash browns, breakfast casserole, and lots of different delectable beverages. We all opened our presents together in a group of 10 elders and ate breakfast around their very crowded table. It was fun.
The "brown-eyed girl" got baptized 2 weeks and 1 day after we met her. I am still amazed that we managed to get all the lessons taught in that time frame. I don't really know her all that well but I'm so thrilled that she went through with the baptism. I call that a MIRACLE. But yeah, now that she's baptized, now I get the chance to know who she is actually.
At the baptism, I had the chance to save a child's life. Elder "C" is allergic to peanuts. He ate a chocolate chip cookie but then spat it out when he thought he tasted peanut butter. Luckily he didn't have a lot of a reaction to it because he spat out the bite that he took. I ate the rest of the cookie. So really I didn't save him at all but I ate the cookie.
I loved Skyping home. I do have a lot to be thankful for here on the mission, but I still love my family. Sometimes it's easier to love them from a distance, but I'm grateful that they are there.
So yeah, sorry so short, hope you guys had an amazing holiday.
