Christmas

So I have been transferred. My new area is...interesting to say the least. Definitely very humble circumstances and the people are all so different and crazy! But it should be fun. I do miss my previous area, however i guess i have missed all my other areas too. 

Things have been weird with so much stuff going on for Christmas, so not a lot of normal missionary work going on. But after the holidays hopefully i can get all situated and settled in. It is the ghetto so it's going to be lovely :) So it is a HUGE ward (like 1200 people) but only about 250 come. We are very busy and there is a lot of work. So that's good :) we also have a set of elders in our ward that we work with. They are also interesting. However I'm so excited to be back with my first companion! She goes home this next transfer so i'll get another new companion then as well. I did get to go back to my previous area on Saturday for a baptism baptism. That was really fun. I really love this lady. She is so awesome. Her daughter is also an awesome girl and is going to get baptized the same
time her brother does. One of the boys is super interested so hopefully he will be allowed to be baptized. 

We have a car in this area so we don't bike usually because there is so much work that there isn't enough time to bike. It's very inefficient for this area I guess. But sometimes we do bike. We just have the family ward, however since the singles ward is so far away for our ward people; we have a little extension class thing and random activities for the ysa aged people. 

This has been a good change, although this has definitely been the hardest part of my mission so far. I'm not sure what it is, but i'm just really emotional and stressed and exhausted lately. It's really wearing me out. I think maybe God is humbling me or trying to stretch me or something you know. (Cause we can all use some more humility). i just feel really behind all the time. So i'm hoping to get on top of things soon and get back to normal. I don't know what my deal is. I'm trying not to stress out about it, but when you only have one day of the week to wash the car, clean the house, shop, email, figure things out for you life, and help with the zone activities, it gets stressful to get my life figured out for when i come home in just one hour each week. (I don't know how other people do it). Anyway, have a great week!
