Dreaming of a White Christmas

We have had an insanely good week. We had our wards annual Christmas parties. First they had breakfast with Santa with pancakes and sausage. It was a huge success, and we had a couple investigators and less actives there. Then that same night we had the Christmas dinner for adults only. There was dinner and an array of entertainment, finished by the entire ward singing the 12 days of christmas with each table assigned a day, and they were required to do some sort of action pertaining to their day. Our table was 11 pipers piping. We had tears running down our face by the end.THen on Sunday night we went with two sisters in the Fontana zone and some member from their ward and went caroling. We had on our Christmas best (Santa hats that Binghams mom sent) and used our best Christmas voices. It was really fun.I cant believe Christmas is in 5 days, it sure doesnt feel like it. Tomorrow we are having a mission conference/mission christmas party. That should be fun. It is funny the things you get excited for on a mission, like mail, or mission conferences. We even bought new sweaters for the occaision, because they will be taking the mission picture.Last night at our dinner appointment we read the Christmas story with the family. It was so awesome. I have been reading it a lot this transfer and in Jesus the Christ too. I have come to appreciate Mary more so this year. Her faith and willingness to follow the will of God is incredible. We can learn so much from her.I hope all is well at home, and that you are all giving many thanks for the snow, because I am only dreaming of a white Christmas. boo hoo.I love you and wish you all the merriest Christmas yet.
