Christmas!

This week was the week we have all been waiting for!  Christmas week!!!
So Christmas Eve was quite the day.  We had all the missionaries in our district over at the Peaks house.  We played pool, air hockey, watched Frozen, and basically just hung out as a big group of friends.  It was such a cool thing!  I almost forgot how to just party with a bunch of peeps!!! I love my district so much.  During Frozen, i decided to take a nap, because i had been sick.  Elder Connor touched my head and i jumped so high, it scared me to death.  Then i found out that i had been sleeping for over and hour and had different pictures taken of me.  WOW.  hahahha(:   We then went and made a "music video" in the sound studio.  I played the giant drum (whatever the real name for it is) It was a lot of fun.

That night, we had to go to an RLDS church.  We were invited to sing Christmas hymns there as a "religious Christmas truce."  It was definitely interesting and we aren't musical at all, but hey...it was a really cool experience i guess.  After, we went to Mcdonalds to finish out our night. Yup. Life of a missionary. 

Christmas day was thee fastest day in the history of ever!!!! Like for reals.  We got up, read scriptures and did the usual missionary stuff, and then at 10 we opened presents and just relaxed until it was time to Skype.  BEST DAY EVER,  I was so nervous to skype...but as soon as i got on, all was well.  Skype was a really great experience for me.  I learned so much believe it or not.  Talking to all of you and hearing your voices made me want to work harder.  I saw how wonderful all of you are and i realize that my family will always be there for me.  I want to be there for you.  I want to work as hard as possible so that because of my efforts, my family will be blessed.  I want all of my family to know just how important this gospel is to me and how much i would sacrifice for the Lord.  I love it so much.  I want to be together with all of you forever.  I want to receive the blessings of an eternal family. So i am going to give my all to the Lord.  It was really inspiring seeing all of you. 

The rest of this week, was kind of slow. Nothing really noteworthy.

Transfer results:  I will be transferred to Mountain Grove, MO. Not far from Ozark. (: I have been there 3 times on exchanges and i love it there!! Can't wait to see it again (:

Love you all!

Love,
Sis Ritter
