It's Christmas this week! This last week was a ton of fun, we got to go to a lot of members homes and go caroling for many people. We went out to this Suisse/Argentinian family in our ward, and had a blast there, they took us to this old medieval village for our PDay, then we went caroling with them to all of their neighbors homes, who loved it. We went to one more members home during the week and had a good time, laughed a lot, and then up until Saturday if we weren't with members we were outside talking with a bunch of people, and gave out a ton of Christmas cards, and had some really cool convos because of Christmas.
Then this weekend was incredible, we spent Saturday running around, printing off a ton of photos we took to give Christmas cards to the members, while the other elders turned our apartment into a little bakery, making a bit more than 400 snicker doodle cookies to give out. Then we went to help set up for the gigantic Christmas Soirée the two wards put on, and to practice the little performance we did with a member from the other ward. The soirée was a success, we had around 200 people there, including our ami George, and our performance went well, a ton of people came up to us after to tell us how much they loved it. Then Sunday we handed out all the tons of cookies and photos to all the members in little bundles, and they loved it a lot. We
spent the rest of the day in two different members’ homes and then went caroling with one. Overall an incredible week. It's incredible to see the love all around during the Christmas season.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you all got to spend some good time with our families, and got to eat until you hated yourself, best parts of Christmas! Our week was incredible, we had our mission conference this week for Christmas, they pulled a lot of strings to be able to get all of the missionaries together in Lyon, which was incredible. We had a phenomenal conference all together, multiple musical pieces were performed and we all felt the spirit quite strongly, fun little surprise as well, we got to watch The Lion King!
We went to four different members houses on the 24th to 26th,and ate our minds out as well as acted out a live nativity, and received pounds of chocolate, a sweater, and a Swiss Army Knife from Switzerland, all from the members! The best part of the week though was on the 26th, we went out about an hour from Annemasse with the sister missionaries to a member's house for the entire afternoon. They took us out caroling, even though it was the day after Christmas, for the most of our time out there, throughout their entire apartment building, the one next to them, and the houses nearby. It was incredible, we sang for many people who were really touched by it, and even had some people say goodbye to us with tears in their eyes. It was a special afternoon, and we were all really really happy afterwards. I hope you were all able to remember our Savior this Christmas as well, and had a wonderful time with your loved ones. I love you all, have a great week! I love you all and wish everyone MERRY CHRISTMAS!
