Christmas happened

Hey everybody!

 

So last week was really interesting! It was great to talk to everybody, sorry the skype call was really interesting, haha I'll make sure the next one will be better, more well-planned, haha and all that jazz.

But yeah! So after we skyped home, we came back down to Craiova, and celebrated Christmas down here! We got back on Christmas eve evening, and EVERY SINGLE store was closed. Haha so we weren't able to get any groceries, or anything like that. But we improvised and it went great! I kind of improvised, but we made cinnamon rolls and they turned out really well! Haha we didn't have any yeast, so I used baking powder, and then I accidentally used nutmeg instead of cinnamon because the words are pretty similar and so was the packaging, but I resolved it and they tasted freaking good! I almost burned them too but I pulled them out at just the right time to be perfect!

 

So we all met at the church in the morning and ate those, exchanged our gifts, and had a great old time. Then we went to deliver some cookies and sing for some people. It was really fun! Then we stayed and sang a whole bunch of hymns at the members' house. Then we had Christmas dinner at McDonalds. Great Christmas!
 

Then on Friday we went and watched The Hobbit 2! It was amazing!! Haha it felt so weird to be in a movie theater but there we were! Haha President is so cool.  We had a great christmas week. We get to watch one more movie for the Holidays, so we're going to watch Frozen either tomorrow or the next day! And it's dubbed in Romanian so it'll be really interesting.

 

So yeah that's how the holidays go out here! We get to stay up on New Years Eve and sleep in a bit on New Years day as well. And outside of that we work as much as we can. We should have a lesson today, so we're super excited about that! We've also gone to the hospital a couple times lately to sing for people and brighten up their day

So we just did mission reports the other day, which signifies the end of the transfer and telling President what we would like out of the next transfer. Which means this transfer's almost over! Which is freaking weird. Transfers don't even feel long anymore... Haha this mission is going by so fast!

Hope everybody had a great christmas, and will have a great new years!!

Love you all!
