This Christmas was a REALLY good one. On Christmas eve we arranged with another pair of Elders to sing Christmas songs in the street by the train station, and we were joined by a couple of recent converts (and one soon-to-be). We sang in the street for about 45 minutes. I have to admit I was a little apprehensive to just start singing in the middle of the street, but when we started it was soo fun. Some people stopped or at least slowed down when they passed, and it was good to be able to smile and sing joyfully of the birth of Christ!! After that, we went around and sang at the house of some investgators and did some door contacts singing. It was fun even in the cold rain without umbrellas :P

On Christmas we woke up early (like always!) and traded our presents, and then we read in the scriptures about the birth of Christ (the traditional scriptures that Dad always leads us in). After that we opened presents and made a table of presents :) Thanks for all the love and thoughts- I loved everything that I got. Then I made homemade hot chocolate like Debbie!! I finally found evaporated milk here because of the holiday- they don´t normally have it. We had lunch with a member family and than went to the chapel to prep for the baptism and talk with family!!

The baptism went really well. We had about 12 people there, which considering it was Christmas, wasn´t too bad. Because of what happened last week with the freezing water and the cold outside, we only used hot water to fill the font. At the end it was really warm!! They complained about it being too hot, but hey, its better than getting hypothermia!! It was a really good day :)
