Monday
and Tuesday nights, we tried to go caroling, but everyone showed up far
too late. That was pretty funny. We also found a bunch of new
investigators on Wednesday!
Thursday, we met with a less-active returned missionary. That was interesting.
Friday, we had our Christmas party. That was as entertaining, if not actually Christmasy, as always.
Saturday,
we had our Christmas missionary devotional. All of us went down to the
mission home, and the mission president showed us a couple videos, fed
us lunch, and gave a great talk on obedience and the Christmas spirit.
Funny story- one of the American elders was pretty sick at the time. I
just got the news- he's in the hospital with a nasty bladder infection.
That has to be thrilling.
Finally came Sunday.
Christmas. The last one on the mission. It went by pretty quick. We had
8 o clock church, then went back and had a snack, before 3 consecutive
meal appointments. At the first one, they fed us chicken biryani, and we
called home from there. At the second, with our WML, he gave us lots of
sweets and tried to feed us more chicken biryani. At the third, Neil,
he gave us bacon! And yes, more chicken biryani. You can't forget the
chicken biryani.
Christmas itself is
interesting in Bangalore. You don't see too many decorations outside,
but people will decorate the inside of their homes. Also, because under
10% of the population is Christian and the temperature was still in the
80s, it really just looks like a normal day.
I'm now mostly packed, and will move out to the mission office for my trunky training shortly. See ya for the last time!
