happy new year!!! sounds like y'all had a fun night :) i thought of you all, singing auld lang syne (how do you spell that?) sadly i was sleeping at midnight. haha we went to bed at 10:30 and were going to wake up for a "bathroom break" at 11:45 to drink in the new year with sparkling cider. the alarm rang at 11:45 and i woke up (sister burch never hears the alarm) and my thought process was, WHY IS THE ALARM GOING OFF? haha i was SO exhausted. and then i went back to sleep. good times. we drank our sparkling cider the next day though.
new years eve and day were way fun, just visiting members and less actives, teaching lessons and seeking referrals. on new years eve, we had a lesson scheduled with our recent convert [B]. turns out they'd prepared an elaborate meal for us! (so sweet...ham, yams, stuffing, etc). pretty funny though since every house had been stuffing us with food .i was already SO full. after that dinner i was so uncomfortably full haha. the funniest part of the night: [O] had 12 grapes for each of us (peru tradition) and she was trying to explain what to do with them...her english isn't so good. she told [B] to go first and you could tell he had no idea what to do! so he just started praying. he had a long pause after he began, obviously trying to figure out WHY he was praying, and said, "thank you for these grapes!" sister burch, [O], and i all burst out laughing right then during the prayer. haha from that point on we all had the giggles. oh man, so hard to explain but SO funny. good times.
the only news of the week is [D]: we had some GREAT lessons, GREAT progress . . .
well i gotta run! sorry it's short! yes transfers are next week so pday is tuesday. we know we're at least moving houses because the allens are moving to utah! crazy. well i love you all so much!
