შობას გილოცავთ ყველას!
Simply put, we are having a
wonderful Christmas Time over here in Gerogia. Funnily enough, Christmas is not
actually that big here. They prefer New Year's. Every Christmas tradition you
can think of is all for New Year's. Plus, Christmas is actually celebrated on
the 7th of January, soooo....
Anyway, it was a weird week. We
spent a lot of it trying to invite people to our Christmas activity on Saturday
and our special Sunday service the next day. We got a good amount to come to
the activity, but almost no one other than the usual people showed up to
church. I do not know why Christmas isn't a bigger holiday. They are so
Christian here. Even the 7th isn't that big for them. It's very strange for all
the missionaries, not even just the Americans.
Last P-day we went to Temka rocks.
They are giants stones that have Bible stories carved onto them. They are
really neat and worth going to again since they are in the city. We had a
whiteboard activity and we went caroling. It is fun to see others get into the
Christmas spirit even when it doesn't mean too much for them.

The big news is that we are going to
Armenia this next week! All the missionaries in the mission are going to
celebrate Christmas together and it'll be a grand old time. We are going to
have a talent show that I'll get to play my trombone for, so my Christmas is
made. I cannot think of much more to say.
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I
wanted to send some of you more personalized emails today, but it turned out to
be a very weird day. I wish all of you the best. If you do want some one-on-one
communication with me, just send an email and I will make time for you.
