  CHRISTMAS DAY Here's a Christmas poem I wrote to remind us all of the true meaning of the season..... As we all share in holiday delight Let us not forget that one special night Where the greatest gift was ever received  Love and life everlasting if thou wilt believe  In a stable born of Mary, in the humblest of settings  Away in a manger, straw for his bedding The Christ Child in his mother's warm embrace  Tears of joy streaming down sweet Joseph's face Shephards abide in the field with flock so near And thus an Angel in great glory did appear "Great tidings of great joy, peace on Earth and goodwill to men" For if ye follow the star you'll find the babe lying in a manger in Bethlehem  They came glorifying and praising God Bowed before the Lord giving thanks with head nod And 3 wise men came on the morrow So full of love, Christ's light they borrow Bearing gifts of the finest degree frankincense, myrrh and gold Riches uncomparable to being held fast, sec

  Chilling in the oven were mice So I put him in the ice  He shoulda thought twice About eating my rice Now he resides in a heavenly home I said my "goodbyes" thats Post Malone "There's no way I could save you.. ..because I needed to be saved too" So rip my little hairy mouse friend If you stayed outta my food it wouldn't haven't been the end (Mic drop   I dropped the opp ) Now for realsies, Monday was pretty legit, we went to Cabelas aka Heaven on Earth. The only time I've been homesick so far on the mission was hearing "Any Day Now" by Ronnie Milsap, I miss my music so bad. Basketball pickelball football repeat, that's the preparation day strat. We then visited Philip in the trailer park, he told us a wild story about his neighbor Megan who got arrested that day for dealing fentanyl and had the police chase her down. That sucked because we were supposed to give her a lesson that night :/ also this day was so foggy I could hardly see 5

What up with ya'll? Thank you for the package mom, yall already know she's the best. Anyhow Christmas is upon us, kinda crazy how fast time is flying by. Seems like just last week I was still camping with my buddies reminiscing on the good ol days and talking about our futures (flashback to the cliff) then I woke up with the realization that yes I do live in a bum apartment and yes I am a missionary and for 1 whole month at that *mind blown* I'll admit it's weird living the missionary life instead of watching it from a spectator pov. This week has been interesting to say the least, started off wonderful and then it snowballed (pun intended) into some dreary times. Lets start with Monday... my first real preparation day. Got together with the district to play some pretty intense basketball, wallball, pickleball, and dodgeball. Here's some advice, do not buy the Goodyear Tire shoes at Ross for $20, there is zero traction. Between my rusty skills and these shoes I miss

What up with yall? Personally I have been big chilling and thriving, going on a mission has been quite the vibe. MTC is a simulation, most everyone is an npc and there was interesting stuff happening on the daily. Getting faded up in the bathroom, meeting a literal Piano Guy, getting sent to the doctor in a white van, Trosper going so hard in volleyball he went to ER and meeting some of the more uniquely named people such as Elder Balls and some dork by the name of Elder Lemon. The mission shenanigans be wild and the rap battles be crazy and gee golly cafeteria food sure is bi-polar. Transport to the airport was so bum, and then having a delayed flight for 5 hours, 3.5 of them being stuck on the plane and literally being threatened to get locked inside the potty room was an adventure to say the least. Met a really cool gal named Linda. Got to the airport and while we waited for luggage to get unburied in snow I met with the Mission President, the LeBarons are so kind and loving and the
