When your voice is just done...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! almost.... lol. I can't wait, it's such a unique experience out here. The music is.... different.... the decorations are.... much different... and even though it shouldn't be different, the focus of my life is different too. Focusing on Christ ESPECIALLY WHEN CELEBRATING HIS BIRTH! Its such a wonderful time of the year. I hope you've been following along with light the world. This week is light your faith. So basically just doing things to build your faith in Christ. 

We had a fun/busy/different week! We had zone conference on Friday which was awesome, since I'm a zone leader... I had to teach part of it with Elder Jones and we just focused on making Christ more of a real person. I kinda related it to how we talk about our great grandparents or great great grandparents and their stories because we know they are true, but sometimes when talking about Jesus, we don't think of him as a real person. But that went pretty well.

Zone conference 

We sang A LOT! Like A LOT!! We sang a musical number at zone conference which was a disaster lol... the sisters forgot to come in on their part.... and then we had no idea where we were! We were singing "O Holy Night" and so it was embarrassing/funny when all of us random come in on the "FALL, ON YOUR KNEE'S!!!" After not singing like 3 or 4 lines haha, oh well. We also are in the ward choir so we sang 3 pieces yesterday in church, AND as a zone we went caroling the past 3 nights. So it's been way too much singing. 

Caroling... sorry I'm turned around lol 

We went tabling a couple times in the week too which was good too. It was a good week. OH! And we cleaned the assistants apartment since it was a disaster and they never have time to clean it haha. We almost made them cry :)).... whoops. 

Something that hit me really hard at zone conference was when President said "It is important that we are also another light and not just another shadow." It got me thinking about how we need to be that light and that angel in someone else's life. That's where true selflessness really shows. I'm so happy to spend a missionary Christmas out here, I only get 2 of these.... wow. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! 

Love Elder Larson 

(Technically a multi-zone conference) inside joke with the mission.... but thumbs up!
