Christmas! Ho Ho Ho

What is going on my peeps?! I hope your chillin' like villians with all your awesome Christmas presents!

Christmas was so different on the mission, but it was great anyways!

On Christmas Eve we went to a Non-members for dinner (Josephina) with the spanish Elders. Holy Moly! she made the best beans and rice I've ever had! MUAH! Bon appetite! We also had prime rib along with it and that was very tasty as well. Her family came over too, and none of them are members, which was a good time to tell them who we were and what we are all about. I will say though, the family was hyped up on the Corona beers... lol! what an experience!

Then after the Non-member dinner, our relief society president, Sister Carrie Brady gave me and Elder Critchfield matching christmas PJ's! And no, I didn't get a picture (sorry mom) because Elder Critchfield refused! So lame but I still love him. no homo.

Christmas day, I only had one present to open because I'm not patient. My parents had sent all of my gift early and I opened them as they came, but my Grandma Bishop's came the week of Christmas, so I saved it. She is awesome and sent a lot of money and an awesome phone stand! My parents sent me some card games to play and we have been playing them with the other elders! I also got gift cards from a lot of people and money as well so thank you to all the generous people that sent me a gift. Oh and everyone that sent me a tie for the 12 days of Christmas ties, thanks so much! I loved all the ties! I just have a zoo of ties now lol. 

In the afternoon on Christmas day, we had a lunch with the punjabi Elders. We ate with a family in their ward and it was crazy! Easily the loudest familly I've ever experienced, haha. But great food and people. We then had dinner with the relief society president's family and had some alaskan salmon that they caught themselves! and it was fricken delicious. And guess who ended up with all the extra salmon.... ME! Oh Yaaa happy dance!  Then, our relief society president gave us another present! Like bruh! how cool is she?! And she did me dirty with double stuffed oreos (the devil), because I literally ate the whole package, it's bad HAHA! We then played some card games with the punjabi elders until we had to go to bed and it was a blast!

I hope everyone had such an amazing christmas with your families and had a chance to focus on the Savior because He really is the reason for the season! I hope you all participated in "Light the World" this month! If you did, I want to hear some cool experiences you had.  If you didn't, shame on you!  (just kidding, your a child of God and I love you).
