Happy New Year / Christmas everyone! It's been a gr8 holiday season over here in the country that has 90% beautiful warm tropical humid weather. Just kidding, it's been a cold week here! A lot of things have happened including: spending Christmas Day at the Mayalls, I had American burgers after district meeting, meeting D's crazy friend, and New Year's Eve with a Dominican.
Christmas was great here in York. The ward gave us lots of sweets and little presents and I wore my Christmas jumper(sweater) to church on Sunday. We spent Christmas Day at the stake president's home, President Mayall. Peña and I hung out with their kids and of course Skyped with our families.
We had a district meeting and another exchange in Harrogate last week. As a district, we went to a restaurant called "The Damn Yankee." We had authentic American burgers while listening to country music. I spent most of Friday in Harrogate with Elder Campbell. We knocked at some really really posh houses and taught some Uni students about the restoration.
D introduced us to his friend this week. She has a really strange belief in how the stars align to make you who you are and that she's going to be reincarnated into a parrot after she dies. She's a really nice lady and we invited her to read and pray if the Book of Mormon is true.
New Year's was pretty fun too. We spent the night at Josh Kimberling's house and played a bunch of games with his family. No, we didn't stay up until 12, but we did get to sleep in until 8 which felt amazing! I've had a cold this past week, same as half of the mission. Haha. And this humid freezing British weather hasn't been helping either. I'm pretty much not sick anymore, so that's good.
Life is good over here in the kingdom of York and I'm really excited for this year of missionary work I have in 2017. Oi mate, how about that new president of yours taking office this week? Love you all haha!
