ill just tell you what christmas is like here because i only have one left. so everyone really celebrates the 24th here. they celebrate by eating a ton of food and blowing stuff up. on the 24th we had 4 diunners in a row. it was painful but you cant say no. we started off the day with lunch and we didnt stop eating. one family literally gave us 2 full meals. we ate taught a lesson and like 30 minutes later ate again... full meals. well the night is really when everyone goes crazy. we had to be home 30 minutes early and i totally know why haha. there was fireworks going off all night and at midnight everyone goes crazy. im suprised that it didnt wake me up i slept right through it.
So thats the tradition here party super hard and at midnight go crazy. it was kind of funny on sunday the next day we had church with 2 wards combined. the attendance was under what it normally is for 1 ward. on christmas day everyone just sleeps all day and recovers to do the same thing the next week on the 31st. so thats a little taste of christmas here.
We did have a ward party and Santa was even there!!!! the little spiritual experience for the week was how i really got to think about the true meaning of christmas. i always would try to at home but this year i had no distractions. only thinking about our lord and savior Jesus Christ. i encourage all of you to always try to think about the real meaning and not always on the gifts and the other aspects of christmas. i know they are awesome but i know you will get more out of christmas if you really think about the meaning.
Sorry it was a short one but i just talked to you guys yesterday and to the people that i didnt... sorry i don't have much to say. merry christmas all thank you all for being so supportive and loving. you are all very important to me and i pray for all of you every day. I love this work a little more every day i have learned to love my Savior more this christmas season. i will be eternally grateful for that ands all the time ive had to study the words of our Heavenly Father, the scriptures. i know this church is true and i'm here to share this happiness.
Love you all.
