I can't believe Christmas is already here! It feels like yesterday that it was Mothers Day and we had a Skype call then, and now it is here again.
I think I am beginning to see what Christmas for parents must be like. The last two weeks we have been thinking and planning for our Christmas Conference, which we had on Thursday. During Christmas Conference, we end up being so busy making sure it runs smoothly, that we don't get a chance to even sit down, relax, and enjoy it. It reminds me of all the events I would do lighting and sound for in high school. I never really got to watch, but I enjoyed helping behind the scenes and I hoped that whatever I did behind the scenes made the experience better for everyone else. Christmas Conference did turn out well and it was just what we all needed to break up this time of year.
Last week we finally got all the administrative things over with. Christmas Conference is done, I finished up a giant Google Sheets database for the mission, and now it feels good to be back to some normal missionary work. As fun as all those might seem, I felt there was something lacking. I think that missing link over the past few weeks was simply missing time from working in our own area. We are looking forward to that!
Merry Christmas!
