It was great to talk to the whole Fam Friday - Christmas Day, so I don't really know what to say this week. So the week was dang sweet. First of all, we eat three, I repeat three, dinners on Christmas Eve. Because Christmas Eve is where the party is at in the Dominican Republic. We didn't work on the 24th or the 25th. Well, we did - but we only were allowed to pass by members and stuff. But Christmas Eve we woke up at 5 in the morning to hand out some bags of food to ten poorer members in the ward. It was way fun. We did some knock and runs - so when the people opened up the door they didn't see us, they just saw a bag full of food. It was better that way too. lol. Because it turns out that not many people are awake at 5 in the morning and most don't like to be at that. lol.
Last Tuesday my companion and I were walking and we saw these two nuns trying with all their might to lift up this rolling gate that fell of its track. It was kind of funny, but luckily those nuns just happened to have their friendly neighborhood missionaries walking by to help them. lol. So we picked it up and put it back on its track and fixed it for them. I wanted to try to set up a time to go back and teach them but they live in one of those monastery things with a bunch of other nuns. And i didn't want to get eaten by some nuns. (ha you gotta love nuns.)
Yea that was pretty much my week. Christmas Eve we eat a lot and Christmas we called the fam and played ping-pong. And I have come to realize that being a missionary stuck in a house for a day makes pretty much one boring day. I mean I love to play dominoes just as much as the next guy, but truly, it is not something I like to much right now.
Love Ya,
