Whole Mission Stuck in our Apartments for 5 Days

Hello everybody I hope your week has been amazing! I haven't done one of these in a while. The mission has been good. We didn't go shopping the last two weeks so we rationed our rations. Don't feel sorry for us though we went shopping today and we have quite the haul (see picture below). I don't have much to report. The work has been good and hard like it is supposed to be.

I have had some fun with some Legos in the apartment! 

I love and miss you all! Have a great week! Don't forget to tip your waitresses

...Also Mom you were right, don't play dodge ball in the house :)

Christmas Kwumps

Hello everybody and a very merry Christmas to you all! It has been a good month and it's not even over yet! I'll give ya a quick summary of the last few weeks: they were good. When it comes to Persian work it has it's seasons. And right now the work is slow :( I'm feeling food about next year though. We have a decent amount of folks teetering on the edge of the baptismal font. They simply just a have a thing or two holding em back from making that last step like satan.

Oh Ben and Payson it is great that you know elder Tea-R-ree -? I don't know how to spell that man's name. But he is an amazing guy and I only met him for an hour but he is a legend in the Persian work. And he is the first missionary to come from Iraq. Which is cool :) 

It has been very rainy lately. 

Pictures:

1st picture is the primary room of one of the richest wards in the world and they still have those chairs! 

Next picture is of my Christmas eve feast. Never had panda express before cause I was scared off by some panda express tales that I heard from my relatives. It was ok 

Next picture is Christmas stuff

For Christmas night I made some punch. The same my family has always made for our Christmas parties. I don't want to brag, I just want to be honest haha... it was DELICIOUS!

And the last pictures is my little niece Eleanor. You have probably already seen her but you're gonna see her again cause I know it will bless your life! 

Finally Another Post...

Hey everybody I hope that you are all doing amazing! I am :) I pray for all of ya every night! I don't have much time before Pday ends but I figured I'll send a quick blog email anyways cause I haven't in awhile. This mission is the greatest and hardest experience my life. 

Another hard thing to add to the list of hard things is I gave myself a hair cut yesterday and that wasn't the hard part, the hard part is now lookin at my reflection! Haha 

Here are some fun pictures of the last little bit...

I had some fun with the little lego nativity we have :)

Love you all! See you around!
