My favorite flower down here "Little Ray of Sunshine"Hey Everyone!
How are things going? So this week has been a busy one. We had our Christmas Conference up in La Serena this past Thursday. We had to be on the bus by 6am so we got an early start to the day. The conference was really good. Pres and Hma Wilhelm spoke to us. Our special musical number went really well also. It was I heard the bells on Christmas day. They also asked me to play the opening, closing, and prelude. It was fine this time because it was all just christmas songs. But, we had a nice lunch and then a gift exchange. We all got mission shirts. I will have to take a picture of mine and try and send it next week or something. After that we had like a soccer activity. Friday was full of events as well. We had interviews with both President and Hma Wilhelm. Hma Wilhelms interview is about like our health and then memorization stuff....she also has us do pushups for her and then set goals for next time. I got44 and my goal is 60. she doesnt count them either if you dont go all the way down. So after that, we had an activity where we sang the songs that we had been practicing. We went to like a children´s home to sing to all the kids there and then had a santa claus give out gifts. IT was fun and the kids liked it. After that, we had our singing in the plaza with some of the members. It was a lot better than i thought it was going to be. They had mics and speakers all hooked up so we were jammin the whole plaza . Between each song the missionaries had to give a little minute long thing to introduce the next song. we had to write it by ourselves. i introduced silent night.
Well everyone is getting ready for Navidad down here. There are people who set stands up for wrapping presents and stuff and a lot of people have lights hanging up. its funny because some people have those lights for drapping over bushes just hanging on the side of their house...and its only like one square too so it looks kinda funny to see a patch of lights on a house.
Alright, well I hope everyone has a great week and a feliz navidad! Love you all and take care!
