The ward missionaries were put in charge of the ward Christmas party. We decided to make some music videos including all of the ward members. This meant that we had to divide up the ward areas and convince all those in our area to sing part of a Christmas song on camera so that later we could edit and put together these videos for the ward to see at the ward party. Amy (my companion) spent many hours going to neighbors houses to video them. It was a great day to get to know our neighbors! This is not something that I am comfortable doing in any way, shape or form but I did it because it is my calling and because I know that I need to be better at reaching out to my neighbors.
We also had the youth do a flash mob at the shopping center so we could record it and show it to the ward. It was a fun activity for the youth and everyone involved.
Another tradition that we started this year that we would like to continue is that we invited all of our neighbors (just our cul-de-sac) for a short gathering at our house. We had cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate and just gathered together. We seem to not see many of our neighbors because some are not LDS so we don't mingle at church but we decided this is a way to jut get together at least once a yer.
This is G with Santa:
C's childhood friend Jeanice came home from her mission in Japan and we got to go listen to her homecoming talk. These girls grew up together and now are all in college and busy with life but they are awesome friends.
My work Christmas Party. A little crazy but fun!
Time for a selfie. I think we were just snapchatting C.
We filmed a music video for the Fajardo grandparents to announce to them a reunion with everybody for their 50th wedding anniversary in 2015. K put together a video from 4 years ago when we were together and then we made this other video.
This is S's crazy hairdo for our portion of the filming.
And a panda bear :)
