December 27

Hey! So before I forget, what I was saying about pdays on the Skype call is that we never really know when we are going to have our pday in the week haha so if you want to make sure that I get your email just email Sunday night and you’ll be good

Turns out everyone one was right, Christmas on the mission really is unforgettable.

So we have this family that we are teaching from the Congo and about two or 3 weeks ago their house burned down, they all survived but the story is just so crazy, their dad is injured the worst and he has to stay in the hospital for another 4 weeks. And so last Saturday we were suppose to do a Skype call with the new missionaries but instead President Pratt took sister claus and I out shopping and just left the APs to do the Skype call haha. It was so fun, we just went to the mall and to Walmart and bought a bunch of stuff that their family needed, we found out that we are not the best shoppers haha we were all just running around in circles! Then Christmas eve we drove to their house and put all the presents on the door step and hid and waited for them to get home from the hospital from visiting their dad! It was so special! They were so excited! 

Then Christmas Day we played exploding kittens and werewolf with our district haha it was fun! But not as fun as Skyping you guys! Ugh seeing your faces and hearing your voices was just the best thing in the world!

After that we headed over to the Pratts! I still can’t believe that we got to spend Christmas with them haha they said that they had never had missionaries over for Christmas yet they have 3 of their daughters here and 2 of their grandkids (violet and Shepard) their daughters remind me a lot of my older sisters and it was just so fun playing with the kids! Dinner was DELICIOUS! But the best part of the night was playing mouth guard hahahaha if you don’t know what game I am talking about look it up! Oh my goodness it was so so so hilarious!!! Sister Pratt took some convincing to play haha she was like “I need to be dignified” but then her daughters convinced her. When it was Sister Pratts turn we were all crying we were laughing so hard. President Pratt could hardly handle it hahah. That is something I never dreamed I would get to see on my mission hahaha hands down it was the best Christmas ️

I love you all so much!
