I get to write my emails today in the span of about 30 minutes, so forgive me if this isn't exactly the longest or most informative thing you've ever read in your life. I do my best and I count that as enough. Hopefully you do to. Anyway, hopefully everything gets covered effectively here.
Christmas, is awesome. It was made significantly less awesome by the fact that they had us knock doors on CHRISTMAS DAY. Our mission president said that he considered Christmas "a regular proselyting day until 6pm" Complete with district meeting. We were allowed to call at anytime during the day, but we were instructed to do so in pross (church clothes). So I wasn't exactly singing joy to the world on Christmas day if you catch my cold. *achoo* I still got to call home though, and it was great to get to call the family again. Our Christmas movie this year was 17 miracles, and our new years eve movie was originally going to be "Freetown" which I actually wanted to watch. However, due to parents complaining about "violence" in the movie, we are going to be watching 'The Other Side of Heaven' instead. I love that movie, so I'm not too bummed about it. When it comes to missionary movies, that is to say, movies that are about missions and that kind of thing, this one is probably my favorite. For those who might be wondering, here is the full list in order.
4. The Best Two Years
3. The Saratov Approach
2. Silence
1. The Other Side of Heaven
It was good to get to watch an actual movie for a change. I haven't seen one of those since last year, and last year we had to watch Ephraim's Rescue. As for fireworks, the whole island blew up in a mad flurry of sparks and alcohol. In fact, we were specifically instructed to drive safely on the way home to avoid getting blown up by some drunken fool messing around with a Roman candle. As for the people we are working with, they've begun to slow down on their progress, which makes it hard for us, but I'm sure if we keep trying our hardest things will work out. Any extra prayers this week would be nice. It's been a particularly stressful week.
Happy 2019 everybody!
Aloha!
