CHRISTmas!!!

Happy Holidays everyone!! I hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas and have a happy new year! 

December 24th: Christmas eve!! So did you all know the 23rd of December is apparently called Christmas Adam! Ig you learn something new everyday! But anyways today we had to do weekly planning and that's always kinda a pain in the butt but we got some milkshakes afterwards sooo worth itt! After planning we had a lesson with Tamara! So background info: Tamara is someone I just saw standing outside of Kimberly Whites apartment complex and I had the prompting to go talk to her! So I did! And we talked about how God knows more than we can comprehend! Then we had a lesson with Kimberly but I don't know how much she got outta it cause she wasn't feeling so good so she was practically asleep while we were talking to her. But I think she appreciated us coming over anyways! The district challenge that day was to share a Christmas message with 2 inactive families! So we shared a light the world video with them! Then we got to hang out with the liscom family and I got toilet paper and a book full of aliens and big foot for the secret Santa activity! Brother Liscom wrapped all the presents and he wrapped an entire" bicycle" the bicycle turned out to be just a bunch of cardboard and wrapping paper with a burger King gift card in the wheel! 

CHRISTMAS!!!: Christmas was a blast! I opened gifts with my fam that morning then we went to the browns for brunch!! The family bought us some Buffalo Bills socks!! 

And there lil boy Carter is a cheat and cheated at checkered with Sister Simpson! Lol but he's also only 6 soo... then after the browns we got to go back home and talk to the fam for a bit longer!! Then I got to laugh with my sisters on the phone about random stuff and it was the best! It felt like I was actually home for a bit! But anyways then we went to the Karpinskis for dinner and got to share a light the world message with them! Then we had a fashion show that night in our apartment with all our new clothes!  ( hey if ur gonna put three girls in one apartment it's gonna happen) 

December 26th: We had district council today and it was pretty epic! It was my first district counsel in Buffalo! So that was pretty cool! My district is a lot smaller than it was in Utica so I like that! I gave the spiritual thought in district council about how the lord can make our wekaness strengths! Then we did rps and pretended we were in elevators and had to teach a principle in 45 seconds! It was pretty nerve racking with the timer and 7 other missionaries watching you! Then after district council I met this really cool guy named Joe!! He was a shweetie!! So hopefully we can start having lessons with him! Then we had service that day and Sister Karpinskis made us roast beast and made a whole cooking video about it and it was really funny! Then we gave a BOM to a Jehovahs Witness!!

December 27th: Today we went on exchanges with the traveling sisters! We had a lesson with Trudy and her friend!! Her friend said he wasn't feeling good a couple times and had to leave to go to the bathroom but then the last time he said it he threw up all over the ground and we were all gagging! I guess talking about the three kingdoms was just too much for him to take in?? So we raced outta there! Then we prayed to find a family to teach and we never found one but the other girls found a family!! Sooo prayer anwsered!! 

December 28th: We had a lesson with Darryl at tim Hortons about the ten commandments and Sister Fellars showed us these cool sign lanuge things we can do to remember them! Bro Robinson joined our lesson and it was awesome!!! Then we had a lesson with Dan at the church and layed volleyball with him!!! 

December 29th: I gave a talk in church and pretty much knocked everyone's socks off cause it was so freaking goodddd!!! Lol and then for young women's we got cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate and I felt like a little kid cause they Christmas stories to us and it was the best! Then after Church my comps got sick:( but we still went out and did missionary work and met this very intense lady who started talking about snake venom!!

Haha okay love yaaa!!! -Sista Hodges
