Hey,
This week was very eventful. .. it is crazy to think Christmas is almost approaching us. . This past week was full of Zone Conference, Exchanges, and The Rouston's Christmas Parade. The Monroe Missionary's which consists of 3 sets of elders and 2 sets of Sisters as well as my companion and I were able to be apart of the festivities! . . It is really a different world down here. I have never heard of a Christmas Parade back home. . I am soaking it all up.
Thursday night, over 10,000 people came and there are all different kinds of floats and big fire trucks, Christmas music is playing all celebrating not only Santa Claus but the birth of the Savior. Thousands of pounds of candy was thrown out to the people and we were able to get a good 3 mile walk in the process handing out Joy to the world dvds and pictures of Jesus! I may or may not have ended up leaving with a pocket full of goodies. .as well. . SH. .. :) hahah
We had our own float, very simple. We had one of the Elders dress up as Joesph and a sister dress up as mary and we had a manger in front of them. It was a great finish to the day.!
Life is going well. Today marks the first transfer day and I am happy to report that my companion and I are staying in West Monroe!! We are becoming really great friends and more and more I'm realizing she is the sister that I never had!
Hope all is well with y'all back home!!
Miss y'all more than ever! -- Hope y'all have a blessed Day as they'd say it down in the south. .. And a wonderful Christmas Season!
Love y'all!
