At the branch Christmas Party

Gift Exchange at District Meeting

 

So, I'm glad to hear you all had a wonderful Christmas. The highlight of my week was Saturday. We had a service project at an orphanage.

We had a big discussion with the branch and President Gustafsen about this service Project. As you know, you are not supposed to do service in places like day cares or schools......so the Orphanage was .....sketchy. Long story short, President allowed us to go and it was the best experience ever.

Before we even got to the front desk, all the children came out and grabbed us and pulled us over to the mochi bowls and handed us hammers. They all were so excited. I had a blast.

 

 

In this video I sent of the game I was playing with the little girl.....

Yeah, after her, I ended up playing with all the little kids. They all wanted to play against me. I'm so glad I learned that game. I learned it with  the Ka family in Nago. It was so cute. Then we played Soccer with all the children.....and they were SOOO good. Elder Coelho from Brazil was so shocked at their talent.

 

 

 

 

After that, we went to Sushi

Sushi comes via conveyor. You pay by the plate.

And then had the baptism. It was a nightmare. We had to fill up that whole font with buckets and empty it with buckets.

 

 

 

The font is also really shallow so when I baptized K, I had to push him down quite a bit because he didn't fit. HAha, it was nuts. He's really happy though.

Also, Elder Chantry and I have  been working to get the Branch back into missionary work and they love us. Which scares me because this week is transfer calls and I just love this area and this district so much., I don't want to go somewhere else. Maybe that's a sign that it's time for me to leave, but......I don't know.  I feel really worn out from this last transfer because I worked my butt off, and now I might have to leave. It's all a mystery now. We'll see what happens.

I'll let you know how the transfers go. I'm super pumped. I loved the photos and videos from Christmas. (Sam is wearing my sweater ;)) I'll keep working hard and I'll talk to you all next week.

Love,
Elder Low
