We had a busy, very Christmasy week! On Friday we had our missionary christmas party. We had almost 300 missionaries in one chapel together, and that wasn't even including the Tasmania missionaries! It's always fun to get together in big missionary groups like that and get to know more missionaries a little better. I also got to see a few familiar faces, like the elders from my MTC district, etc. At the christmas party we had a talent show, watched How To Train Your Dragon 2 (it was so weird! The whole time I felt like I should turn my head away because that is what I'm used to doing for the tv now haha!), ate a christmas feast, had a devotional (which I somehow got dragged into singing in the choir for it...), and got all our packages!!! Thanks for all the love you have sent me so far! The second Sister Lee and I got back to our flat we tore right into them! We may have gotten a little carried away and opened everything... Sorry. But in my defense I didn't see the note that said to wait until the 25th and also that was basically the only time we have to open presents because Christmas is just another normal day for us. So we had an early christmas. :) We did put up all the decorations that you sent though and they look great!
Yesterday we had Ola's baptism! She got baptised with another girl from the ward that just turned eight so it was really great! We even got permission to have her confirmed on the same day with Mia as well.
One really funny story from this week was on Thursday night. We were supposed to go over to a member's house for dinner with the Elders but they texted us right before and told us we were going to Lazy Moe's (restaurant) instead. When we got there the members sat us down at a table of four, made us order our food, paid for it, and then told us that they had to go... We looked at the Elders and knew that we were all thinking 'this is so not approved' haha! But we couldn't really object so we sat there and ate dinner awkwardly with the Elders and then left haha! Memorable experience!
Well that's about all the major stuff from this week. Sister Lee and I are still working hard for our last two weeks together most likely. Remember the reason for this Christmas season!
Love you all heaps,
Sister Bingham
