We had a Ward Christmas Dinner
this week that was super delish! Olaf even came!! We saw lots of acts
and dances and singing! We even got to sing ourselves! Threw on the
Santa Hats and sang some Silent Night mixed with some Noche de Luz! It
sounded pretty legit for being kinda last minute! Food was great though
and we had a fun time hanging with the members and enjoying the
Christmas spirit!! Had some investigators there which was cool as well!
Thursday
night was super cool! Throughout the whole day we just went to the
members houses and they gave us lots of Ticucos and Tamales and
Sandwiches!! Also Wednesday night another threw my comp a birthday
party with cake and sandwiches it was dope! It was fun being able to
eat soo much food and go from one appointment to the other getting
stuffed, it was basically Thanksgiving! After about 4 Ticucos
(basically are tamales) and 2 Tamales and 1 sandwich we went to our
final appointment of the night and it was super cool. I had (with the
help of my parents) got some gifts for this poor family that doesn't have
much and their 2 twin daughters and 8 year old daughter who just got
out of the Hospital some little toys and gifts! We went over there in
the night and I dressed up kinda like Santa Clause and brought all the
gifts wrapped into their house saying HOHOHO Feliz Navidad and jingling
my keys! They were so excited and I put all the gifts under the tree
and just seeing the looks on their faces was priceless!! Then the
member gave us a nice turkey dinner cause he wanted to do something
super nice for us as well. It was sooo delicious and somehow we were
able to get all that food down without problems!
Then
the 24th in the night was pretty crazy again! As soon as 12 o clock
rolled around the whole night sky lit up with fireworks and firecrackers
and booms and bangs and colors and chinese lanterns! It was super
legit! Alot cooler than Santa Barbara last year cause there were
definitely more fireworks going off and commotion! Cant wait for New
Years as well!! I'd imagine that being in a war zone would kinda feel
like the 24th or 31st just lots of lights and booms and bangs
everywhere! Pretty cool stuff!
Christmas day
was soo goood as well! We all had a zone activity in the morning to
play some games, exchange some gifts and watch some videos together and
focus in on the true meaning of Christmas even more!! It was pretty
cool and then my favorite part of the day was being able to talk with my
family!! It was soo fun! I enjoyed every second! Its different here
in Honduras cause basically no one is a Christmas fanatic and so it was
great being able to share the same enthusiasm for Christmas with my
family! Love those guys!!
Anyway really cool
week and had some great experiences! Wish I could tell you everything
with all the details but this letter is getting too long haha! Hope you
all had a Holly Jolly Christmas and that you have a Happy New Years as
well!! Make some goals, set your priorities, tackle the most important
goals first and just stick with it!! Hope you all enjoy the fresh new
start of the year and that you can all set some great goals for your
lives!! I'm stoked about mine!! Love you all and have a great week!!
Have fun in the snow!! 2016!!! Lets Go!!
Love Elder Hunt
