Merry Christmas! I love Christmas time here in Finland! This
past week we were able to do an amazing service project, we caroled with some
ward members at an old folks home. It was so much fun and the people there
loved it! The only hiccup was that we didn't know any of the Finnish Christmas
songs. We had the words so it was just a lot of guessing on our part. It was
cool to sing some traditional songs that meant a lot to the people there. There
was also a little three year old boy in the group that ran around the room the
whole time dancing, it was just about the cutest thing ever.
We also got the chance to carol for the Watsons! We were
called in for interviews last week and got to spend a lovely evening with them
and some other missionaries including dinner! This past week we have just felt
so loved by our amazing ward here in Marjaniemi and we even got a homemade
fruitcake and some delicious Finnish chocolate from them. I am so glad I ended
up staying here for the holiday season.
We have a mission conference tomorrow and we've been asked
to read Luke chapter 2 and Matthew chapters 1 and 2. It has been so cool to
read about the birth and life of Christ and really remember the reason for the
season. I am so excited for Christmas day because I get to skype my amazing
family!!!
