FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!
Hey everyone! Well, it's been a pretty crazy week with all of the activities that we had for Christmas! I'll start from the beginning...
So on Monday to start off, we had a FHE with Lorena and Natalia in the house of a member. We shared about gifts that God has given us and then proceeded with a White Elephant gift party that we had planned for afterwards. I was the only one to give a gift that wasn't food, but the chocolate potato chips I got were delicious! :D
On Tuesday, we had the huge Christmas Conference. All of the missionaries from all parts of the mission were there, and we had a nice 4-5 hours with talks from the President and other leaders.
On Wednesday, it was a normal work day but with the 2nd and last Christmas Concert that we were participating in. They started the concert a little late, but we finished it off well and got home that night at about 11:30! :o
On Thursday, we went to a nearby hospital and went around caroling for 2 HOURS! It was exhausting, but a lot of fun as we were able to bring a little bit of Christmas cheer to some people. :D
On Friday, we had another large activity of missionaries, and got together to play a bunch of different kinds of sports. There was soccer, basketball, water balloon volleyball, ping pong, football, frisbee... 3 hours of fun-packed things to do! After that we went to a members house for the biannual SKYPE! It was great to see my family, but especially crazy to see how much my younger brother Josh has changed... :o
But that was about it for the week! Saturday and Sunday passed by like normal and now I'm here talking to you guys! I hope you all had a FANTASTIC Christmas and I wish you all an amazing New Years!!
Con Amor,
Elder Robertson
