“That was supposed to be a donkey. It’s a Hershey’s Kiss.” (week 64)

Hello hello. Here I am back in Baton Rouge. It actually feels like home here so things are going well :) The YSA is really different though. We are busy all the time, but it is a fun busy because it feels like we are just hanging out with friends all the time, but instead we are doing missionary work. It’s great I highly recommend it.

Tuesday was pday. We mostly chilled with our district and signed transfer journals and played sports. Then we went to institute and said goodbye to our people.

Wednesday was transfers. I love transfer days because it is like a quick mission reunion and I get to see all my friends. Once I got with Sister Merrill we were busy till the end of the day with appointments and such. It was great. It was hard to force myself to unpack that night though.

Thursday we did free speech alley and it was great. Then family history with a recent convert, then coordination, then institute.

Friday was district council with the new group. They are pretty chill. Then that night we did Santa at the Senate!! I did it last year and it was so fun. We go to the Old State Capital and we get elf hats and we help little kids do crafts while they wait in line for Santa one girl told me how much she loved my lipstick and it made my day.

Saturday was the worldwide day of service, and we went all out. We started with the food bank in the morning. Then in the afternoon we did a trash pickup around town. Then that night we make cards and cookies and caroled to members that might need a pick me up. People came and it was again just like hanging out with friends.

Sunday was church. I love this ward. Then we had some appointments, then we did weekly planning, then we watched the First Presidency Christmas Devotional and it was superb.

All in all it was a pretty good week. I hope y’all are doing well too!! Enjoy the snow those who have it because it’s like 70 degrees here! Love y’all!!!
