It has definitely been a crazy one here in Gloucester. It really
didn't feel like Christmas like we did Christmas things and we ate
Christmas foods but it just felt very different.
One thing I loved is that my ward here in Gloucester does an annual
Christmas concert on Christmas Eve and they get together for 1 hour and
sang Christmas carols it's awesome. And then I realised English people
are my people because they all watch the muppet Christmas carol every
Christmas Eve, it's awesome! Obviously I didn't get to watch it but it was so
awesome seeing all these people doing my absolute favourite Christmas
tradition!
My companion and I built a fort in our living room and
slept in there throughout the Christmas weekend it was awesome we also
watched meet the Mormons which was great. I got to eat Christmas
pudding, trifle, mince pies and all other English foods. We got to go
be with a lot of different members during the week which was nice
being able to see different traditions and stuff and then Christmas
Day we woke up went to church and had an awesome Christmas dinner at a
members home and then we skyped our families which has become my new
favourite Christmas tradition.
Life is going good out in the mission field! I'm coming to the end of my
first transfer and my firstChristmas away from home is over so lots of
milestones are crossed off this month! Oh also I got to ride on my first
English train! Yes they do have platforms!
I hope you all have fun this New Years! Love you!
