Joy to the World

Well this week was a good week. It was Christmas. I got the opportunity to do some fun things. On Christmas Eve we as an office got the opportunity to go to President's house and have dinner. That was really nice. We got presents. Also we made cool ties as an office. I apologize for this letter and the fact that is poorly written. We had a Christmas activity today and I've been trying to write the whole day but I've had to do a bunch of stuff. After the dinner we went out and sang some Christmas carols and gave out little stockings with some little things for kids. That was fun. My companion then talked to his family. On Christmas I brought my presents that I got to the office and I opened them with some other missionaries. Then I made pancakes. I got the opportunity to talk to my family which was cool. Later that day we worked like it was a normal day. One thing that was interesting is that here everybody likes to use fireworks. They are basically firecrackers but they are huge. It sounded like a war zone. 

    In the time of Christmas we have the opportunity to remember our Savior and we are more willing to do things that we might not have done before like serve at a homeless shelter or something. We should keep that attitude throughout the year. We also are coming up to the new year. Lets make a goal to be better, to be nicer, to be more loving, to be more like Christ. To bring Joy to the World. 

Thanks for all your emails. I may not have had time to answer all of them but I will do it in the coming weeks.
