I just wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas. This is my first Christmas away from home and it was different for sure.
We were invited over to have Christmas breakfast with a couple who serve as missionaries that help coordinate all the mission vehicles.
Then we got to talk to our families and I was able to see that they were enjoying the nice California weather lol. It was nice to be able to see and talk to everyone and still feel like part of the family even though I wasn't able to be there in person.
Things have started to slow down a little bit but we are still teaching people. We are also doing english classes with some people and that has been really cool to help them learn because I can understand the struggle of learning a new language.
Also thank you for all the birthday wishes it does feel strange to be 20.
I've almost been out for a whole year and it's crazy to think all that has happened in the time that i've been out. Most of it doesn't even feel real because things went a little crazy soon after I left in January.
All I know is that through it all God has a plan and he knows me personally. When it comes to Christmas I love how even if you don't really celebrate the birth of Christ as the focus of Christmas you cannot deny that at the very least He is the cause for a holiday that makes people happy and that brings family together.
I hope that everyone has a great Christmas and that we can see the change that the holliday has on those around us.
