S3 E2: I hope we still have enough brain cells

 (Elder Cummings)

大家好!

I'll explain the title in a bit but I gotta talk about my week first.

Because of Christmas we didn't have as many lessons or contacts with the people we're working with as usual but that's all good it was part of the plan. We ended up doing a lot of service and a lot of eating.

So Elder Pratt is a really good piano player so with all the free time we had this week cause everyone was spending it with their families we came up with this awesome idea to do a 2 piano duet and make an awesome video. So we'll be working on that for the next couple weeks if we ever have free time, I'm really excited! If you want to listen to the arrangement it's The Spirit of God by Nathan Schaumann. (Fun fact, Nathan's best friend was in Elder Pratt's MTC district and his other best friend is in the same mission as us). So basically we're famous.

Anyway, so Saturday we spent a large portion of the day at the church building, planning to really get back to work and start bothering people with our calls and messages two days after Christmas, not just the next one. So we did a lot of planning and finding the piano arrangement and working on other videos we're making. Later that evening we learned that two people from our congregation came earlier and legit passed out because of a natural gas leak in the building, and they were only there for about an hour...we were there for about 6...and our church ended up being cancelled the next because the gas was stinking up the whole building. We had NO idea and didn't smell ANYTHING. Super weird. Hopefully that means we're okay and didn't lose too many brain cells haha

Something I think we can all keep in mind is that "We wouldn't have Christmas if we didn't have Easter". The only reason we celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus is because of the resurrection of the Living Christ. We celebrate everything about our Savior because He has given us everything we have. The peace He so freely gives us comes only because of the suffering He has endured for us. Everything we have we owe to the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas yall!
