Elder Haire and Me

Merry Christmas and Happy Flippin Hannukah!
Hey ya'll? Hows the Homefront? things this side 'o the mississippi are super good. This week was super busy. We had Zone Conference On Wednesday and it was one of the funnest ones i have been to yet. We got to train on a couple scriptures about coming to the table with Christ and feasting with him. It was really good and we had a lot of fun doing it. During the middle we had a little testimony meeting/Tell us you favorite christmas hymn and we will sing it. ha ha it was really funny. My favorite is hymn #215 ring out wild bells. ha flippin funniest song in the world. I have never heard it sung or anything like it. ya'll should try and sing it sometime. After Zone Conf. we were given the opportunity to go caroling at an old persons home for the sick. Dont know the name but it was so much fun. We walked in and there was 16 of us and everyone was staring at us and the assistants totally forgot to set it up so i had to talk the manager into letting us split up into groups and go sing x-mas songs to the sick and dying. It was so much fun. I really enjoyed it tons. I suck at singing but neubert had my back so it was all good. Okay so Friday-sunday the mission was doing this whole big choir concerts things around the mission and neubert was singing. so i needed a companion. well luckily there was one in the mission home who was way sick and might end up goin home. But friday we had to run downtown nash to get a couple of things for the assistants and jazz like that so we made the spanish drive us and then i had to drop off elder neubert at the mission home and stay there til sunday night..... so i thought. So all of Friday afternoon and night i gotta watch the Work and the Glory's and Living Scriptures ha ha it was way weird but it was still legit. That night there were 40 missionaries both sisters and elders staying in the mission home and guess who came in my room at midnight. You guessed it ELDER BECK ha ha we didn't go to sleep for ever ha ha Saturday we woke up super early and i had to go pick up some missionaries on the other side of Nashville and have them back to the mission home by 8:00 AM. After that we had to drive 110 miles to go drop off some stuff at a mall for the choir thing so we stayed for the whole performance and it was way good but they picked the worst staircase to perform on. they were right in front of Victoria's Secret and it was so funny watching the elders trying not to look at it. i died laughing but it was really good and the spirit was there. then we had to run to the church and fill the font for gary's baptism which took a couple hours and we ran outta hot water so he got baptized in the Arctic. ha ha it went really good. He bore his testimony after the baptism. One of the best baptizzy's i have been to. After the baptism i had to go do something for the Spanish ZL's and then after that we had our x-mas party for the ward which was way super fun. We went Home that night and i got like 6 hours of sleep Cuz we didn't get home til late and then Sunday morning we were at the church by 7 in the AM. I took Kallush back to the mission home and i fell asleep to Nephi and the golden plates living scripture style. THen we went to dinner, and then we went to Handells Messiah Concert. It was so super good. I am so worn out. this was definately a weekend to remember. Merry Christmas and happy Hannukah and hope ya'll have a super good Holiday
