hey all you cool peeps! i dont have that much time to write today because elder hansen and i are cranking away at this whole training thing. but ill talk a little bit about the highlights. so i had the cool opportunity to spend christmas in the office!1!!11 it was actually super fun. on the 24th, hansen went back to one of his old wards to eat, and i was at the office with madsen for the whole day while silvaggio and payne were out with the hermanas singing. it was cool because we got to get some work done and we talked about trunky things for a hot second, counting the days down for when we get to see our families again (you know, as missionaries do.) then we had to go find hansen from doing divisions with his old compy in his old sector and there were a lot of bonfires happening in the streets and a lot of drunk people that were roaming around. it was scary, but it was cool to go and save him from across the mission! when we were all back in the office, we thought that we needed to have a little chill out session somewhere because it was christmas for crying out loud. what is also cool in chile is that when its christmas, everyone illegally buys fireworks and shoots them off the night before. we thought that we would bring a speaker and a blanket to the roof of the church and watch the fireworks! it was soooo fun. we talked about the Christmas traditions that we did back at our homes, and watched the fireworks off in the distance. such a cute little office party. then i had the chance to talk to my family over skype!! that was so much fun! we talked about my time in the office and where im going after this change (i cant say where im going yet because there are people from the mission who read my blog and i cant leak the changes just yet lollll). the worst part about the call when my mom was like "i know you dont want to talk about this right now, but i need to know what classes you want to take when you come home for byu" i almost vomited. i only have like 5 and a half months!!! its going to be a crazy couple of months until i come home! we also talked about the cool spiritual experiences i had while i have been in the office. you would think i would be sad after i said goodbye to them, but to be honest, i felt super recharged, and ready to finish this mission strong! i am SOOOo excited to go to my next sector and preach the gospel to the people in the "____________" sector! i hope all of you got to have an awesome christmas! and i hope that all you missionary parents had a sick time talking to your missionaries wherever they may be in the world! gotta scram..heres some pictures to compensate. love all of you! EKW thank you so much for the package fam! lush.....if you want to sponsor me yet that would be great thanks hermana salas gave me some scratch paper for christmas...so nice! the hermanas in our ward tried coming into the office to prank us, so we got them back with some fake snow in a can..clean up on isle 10 please
