I won't get to email next week because I'll be calling home instead, sorry, not sorry! So I figured I'd spread the Christmas cheer a little early:)
Well, this week was CRAZY! There ended up being two huge parties back to back days and we only got a 24 hour notice to get everything ready for it! There were so many kids there and it was so chaotic. I don't ever want to see a sugar cookie again. There was a cool Ukrainian version of the play Beauty and the Beast that professional actors put on for the kids- I understood almost all of it! They got the elders to dress up as elves- highlight of my week- it was so funny to see them running around in them hahaha.
We have an expectation in the mission now to have 10 meaningful conversations a day- which are really hard to get we learned, since no one wants to talk to you for more than a second in the middle of snow blowin everywhere. So we decided to go contact on the metro for a day- it wasn't much more successful since everyone is in and out, but if you have any ideas on how to get people to talk back, I'm all ears.
There isn't really much else to update on. It just snowed a ton this week and I'm loving it, even though I completely ate it on the ice yesterday. It's always a good experience.
We did have to say goodbye to some of our elders, but it's okay life goes on. We gave them mugs with us on them so that they could never forget us. It's really weird but we thought it would be hilarious and I've never seen six people laugh harder than when they opened their Christmas gifts. Now the only problem is that we have to up our game for our gifts to our new district. I'm also all ears for suggestions for gifts.
I love you all! I wish you all Happy Holidays! Don't have too much fun without me!
Love,
Sister Vehar
