Picture 1- This probably means nothing to you, but it's a very empty high street on Christmas morning. It was weird.
Picture 2- Most of my presents!
Hello! Christmas as a missionary is weird!
For Christmas, all we did was eat at people's houses. We tried to service at an old folks home but they didn't want us, haha, so we just went and ate other people's food. There was no transport on Christmas, so we did a lot of walking. We walked from our flat all the way up past Brixton which is just over 3 miles I think. I know that's not a terribly long distance, but it is substantial when you're used to riding buses and trains everywhere. :) But we ate so much food on Christmas, I never want to eat again. And we have a fridge full of leftover dinners and desserts. It's great, and I hope we can eat it all before it all goes bad. Because that would be a waste of the most tragic kind.
Other than Christmas this week, it was pretty slow. In fact, it was very very very slow. But now that Christmas is over, we're going to be spending this whole week finding! Seriously, we're going to get about 30 hours of finding this week, and it'll be great. We need to find people who are willing to learn and willing to act, so that's my goal this week, to find some people like that.
So thank you everyone for the Christmas wishes and packages and thoughts and stuff. I love each and every one of you, and hope you had a good Christmas and will have a really great 2011. Set a resolution that means something! And then do it, because that's the whole point of resolutions or commitments in the first place! I know I need to set a few good resolutions to make myself better, and I don't want to forget about them in a few weeks, I want them to be actual! Alright, talk to you later, bye!
