Ahhh You Guys!
I am OBSESSED with my mission, quite seriously so.
This week in terms of missionary work was beyond slow, we literally only had 2 appointments, both on Saturday, but I really got to know a lot the missionaries I am serving with and I love them all so much! They are so much fun. On P-day we played ultimate frisbee in Bishan Park and well it rains all the time here so it was basically a swamp and we got wrecked, so muddy, but definitely worth it. Then we had choir practices Tuesday and Wednesday, all of us, followed by Christmas Conference which was so amazing. I really serve with the best of the best.
Like I said this week was pretty slow, last Sunday Sister Wynn was sick so we did get to go to church but then we came right back home and she passed out so i was left to read my scriptures till 11pm and make phone calls. On the bright side my scripture study is out of this world now. Luckily she was better by last P-day. However this past Thursday I got unbelievably sick, like super ill and slept literally 48 hours straight, I smelt like death. I am still kind of sick so it's hard to do a lot of work when you sound and look sick, no one wants to talk to me, haha, but we are getting things done.
I LOVE my ward though! I seriously want to be Filipino so bad. I love them all so much. Yesterday was our ward Christmas party, and boy can they party. Hahaha. It was a huge feast with the most delicious food I've ever had followed by about a million little skits. To my surprise the missionaries were supposed to come up with a musical number as well. As you all know my musical talent is well below par, I can't even carry a tune, but they wouldn't back down. Hahah luckily the best AP's ever are the Elders in our ward and they thought we should sing rudolph the red nose reindeer complete with song and dance by Elder Toney haha. The Filipinos joined in and it was so much fun. I've made some great friends in the ward and I will be so sad when I transfer to not see them anymore, but I am positive we'll keep in touch. They are even teaching me some Tagalog words, I'm so stoked to learn it! I made them promise me to teach me how to have a basic conversation in Tagalog by the next transfer cycle in case I get moved.
There isn't too much to report this week. Its been a weird week but one of the best. And I seriously can't believe I've been away from home for a month. That isn't a very long time, especially compared to those I serve with but if each month goes by as fast as this one did, my mission will be over too quick.
Love and miss you all,
Sister Hansen
P.s.
Real quick I ate my first fish and duck this week. Duck is DISGUSTING, like the worst I hate it, but fish is so tasty. When I got to my appointment at an investigators house they had like 3 dead fish, full fish, just laying on plates in the middle of the table, like eyes and teeth and everything still attached, but it tasted so good. I will never like duck though.
