Everything's Christmas-themed with me today, I'm just feeling the holiday cheer!

Let's go through this week's picture album....

Mission Tour! We had amazing conversation and conference with Elder Enbjerg, had some reunions, and naturally we got a ton of good pictures.

The attending members of my MTC group. Look how much we've grown!

My dear Elder Jordan(what the heck is Sister Huber doing there?)

The goofballs themselves

Elder Crump, one of my favorite people!

Elders Viitanen and Tracy(remember them?)

A few goofballs

Aaand, we all got our Christmas packages delivered! I also got a bit more for Christmas - a bunch of weights from the Tampere apartment! Us and the Sisters had a grand old time lugging 50~ kilos of weights plus a bar all the way via trains back to Lahti.

And now, it's time to get swole.

On Thursday, we got to see Elders Ames and Krause as they came to Lahti for a certain baptismal interview... Elder Krause and I got to do a bit of work together, and we took a cute picture!

Speaking of baptismal interviews, we had a miracle on Saturday!

Our friend Toni went to baptism! Here's a picture - he's a super shy guy, but he's taken the gospel by storm. He's got a heart of gold, and we've had a blast working with him and getting him ready for his covenant with the Lord. I'm so happy for him - and he has such a strong testimony!

We've been keeping up the happy feelings all week - and I also opened my Christmas package! Worry not, my family told me to. There were a few open-before-Christmas gifts. Like THIS!

I feel FESTIVE!

What better way to celebrate the holidays?

Aaaand speaking of festive, the Christmas tree that we got a few weeks ago was too big for our apartment, so we got another one. Aaand the sisters wanted one as well, so we got another one.

Naturally.
