Happy holidays! - Jack's email from Alaska

Merry Christmas everyone! This week was actually so cool and awesome to be apart of. Alaska is dark so everyone's moody but this week cus or the holidays people were in great moods so it is actually super cool to see that. We had another wind storm so that makes 3 wind storms in the last 3 weeks. Starting to get use to these 60 mph gusts lol. Anyways this week was way dope so let's get into it! 

Tuesday 12/16: today we had district council which is always fun and so we talked a lot there then had zone lunch. After that, we went and did some stop bys and helped one of our friends out of her house. We had dinner at the coolest members house and my comp got attacked by their dog, it was probably the funniest thing ever. 

Wednesday 12/17: I was on an exchange so I was not in my area today, I was with a greenie in another area so that was fun. It was windy today but nothing crazy so yeah. We got into a bash with a guy who doesn't believe in Jesus Christ so that was fun. 

Thursday 12/18: we did weekly planning today and planned for this upcoming week, we helped out a lady who does medical stuff and her stuff got destroyed because of the wind so we went and helped her out. Turns out she's a body builder and has an insane home gym. We maxed out on bench press and I hit 255 so I can bench the most in the zone 🥱🥱🥱🥱.

Friday 12/19: today we were helping set up our ward party in the morning, we then went and helped build a parade float for the parade. It was -10 and we were out there for 4 hours so I thought I was gonna die straight up. That was brutal, we then went to our ward Christmas party which was super fun. 

Saturday 12/20: we had a lesson with one of our boys named Tom he's a lover of God and has a super strong testimony. We invited him to read from the book of mormon then he Gave us his religious type of scripture so that was funny. We did a service for Christmas presents today and that was super cool. The wind started tonight and it was brutal doing work today. We went one of our pmf households for a lesson today and the husband asked his wife if she wants to take the missionary discussions and she said yes! So cool!! 

Sunday 12/21: we only had 1 hour of church but lemme tell ya our ward had the best musical numbers I've ever heard. We had a stake youth recital music thing and that was cool to hear all these kids have so many talents. We then had probably the best dinner I've ever had on my mission today. Ribs and roasted veggies. Unbelievable and the lady just kept loading my plate up. 

Spiritual thought Luke chapter 2. 

It's super cool reading the birth of Jesus Christ and how humble his circumstances were when he was born and what he ended up doing for us and giving us the best gift possible. I would invite you guys to just find ways to serve your neighbors this holiday season.
