Christmas in Ebeye!

Merry Christmas!

Iakwe aolep! 

It's been a while! Let me get you all caught up.

Wanda and Bilton got baptized! It was an awesome experience. I am super happy for them and their family.

Christmas season is crazy here. Everyone is running around trying to prepare for the holidays. 

Christmas was crazy. We woke up and opened presents then headed over to the church. We were at the church from 10 to 9:30 watching biit. I have some videos and I will try and send them. It was a long day but a super fun one.

The day after christmas I got to call my family. It was a great time. Shout out to the fam. I love them so much. 

Then it was back to normal missionary work. Everyone was so tired from Christmas that they didn't want to study. It was pretty rough. We had a couple good lessons but nothing special. Apparently other churches here biit for 3 days so the streets were empty and it was so weird. 

On Sunday it rained so no one showed up to church it was a bummer. We had a dinner and gift exchange with one of the families in our ward and it was so fun. They are definitely one of my favorite families.

Yesterday we had such a good and spiritual lesson with Ali. I have been studying with Ali for 3 transfers and she is finally ready to be baptized. She has been reading the Book of Mormon and yesterday we asked her if she was ready. She was so happy and said that she was ready, so in the next couple of weeks she will be baptized. We also had a ward family home evening. I ate some pig heart, liver, and kidney cooked in pigs blood with cabbage and onion. Oh man it was so good. It tasted like steak that my parents used to make me.

Today is New Year's Eve which is crazy! It's almost 2020. To you seniors out there... These next 6 months will fly by so enjoy it! I hope you all had a great Christmas that was filled with love and joy. Most of all I hope you all remembered Christ. I love you all! Happy New Year!
