hey mom,

well i will tell you what i did for christmas in written form too i guess haha. so on friday we went to nairobi to meet with all the elders and stuff so that on saturday we could do a service project. so saturday we went to a part of nairobi called langata and we went to a hopital to just help around. they assigned us to different wards or parts of the hospital and me and my companion were assigned to the maternity ward. yea it was pretty nuts. ya i helped deliver a child. yup caught it right out of the air............. jk haha that would of been crazy tho ha. all we did was cut and fold gauze for like 2 hours and then talked and stuff. they made us wear these gowns and some weird white boots haha and i was wearing shorts and it kinda looks like i was naked haha. then we had like a white elephant gift party thing with all of the elders and sisters that were there.  i got a tie yay.... i dont like ties anymore haha.

on Christmas day we went to church for only one hour then it was finished. but after that we waited for all of the elders and sisters around nairobi to come to the upper hill chapel and we had lunch/dinner. most of the senior couple came too. esh, the food was soooo good!  we had like sloppy joes, tortilla chips and some bean dip, a potato and egg salad and pasta salad and lots of other food. its the first time that ive been full in awhile haha, since i went to kfc like 3 months ago! and the desert was bomb. sister hall made my new favorite cake ever its called banana cake and all it is, is banana bread with chocolate frosting on top. oh my gosh it was so good. then all the districts that were there presented a little thing for everyone. my district sang angels we have heard on high and then we danced around a tiny little christmas tree to the song rockin around the christmas tree. not gonna lie i think mine was the best haha. it was pretty dang funny. then we watched a slideshow for the year with just pictures of all the missionaries here. i was only in like 4 but next year ill be in a bunch of pictures. then we left and i called home. which was awesome! it was so good to hear everyones voices. you could easily say that i did have a perma grin on my face! but that was my christmas. make sure that you tell everyone MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEARS!! for me. 

love you guys,

reese
