Sorry for not giving y'all a warning about me not being able
to email yesterday. I didn't know until yesterday that I couldn't have
just about any time, but the mission president said we had a little time
today. Well, Christmas was great! We opened presents with some other
missionaries and I did really appreciate the gifts Mom! After presents,
we went over to Bishop's house to make our calls. After that, we hung
out for a few hours with them (it was both p day and Christmas, so...)
and had a breakfast. They had a basketball shooting game that I went
head to head with Bishop on, and lost. Just barely. He took that as an
opportunity to go over again how Hoosiers don't have anything on Tar
Heels when it comes to basketball. After that, we were over at another
member's house for dinner and some games. We had biscuits with gravy,
turkey, ham, and nachos. It was pretty interesting. The only game we
ended up playing was Quelf, which was still pretty fun. After that, we
were given the chance to watch a church movie, so we watched 17
Miracles. It was really weird after nearly 5 months without any tv.
The
rest of the week has been a little strange. We haven't been able to get
up with one of our investigators for a while, and we just found out
why. Her husband (who she kicked out and tried to get a restraining
order against because he beat her and their children) is back against
her will. And we also now have a death threat against us if he ever sees
us come over again. We'll just have to be a little more careful. (Okay
Mom, a lot more careful.) But the finding here is still going strong!
Everyone is super open to listen, especially around Christmas. Hopefully
it'll tide over after Christmas as well. We're trying hard, but it's
been a bit hard to keep up with some of them around now because everyone
is leaving for other places. I'm pretty sure it'll all calm down after
this season now, so we'll be able to work normally again.
