Feliz Navidad - Port-Bouët, Côte d'Ivoire

Joyeux Noël! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas last week.

I am elated to say that my Christmas was very merry. We did everything that we could to really make it feel like Christmas and, to our luck, it worked. 

We had a few events that really helped to make the weekend jolly. The first was a mission devotional on Christmas Eve that we had with half of the mission. I had the chance to sing in a quartet with a couple of other Elders. It was great to see so many Elders that I dont get to see so often.

On Christmas we were invited to a branch party on the other side of our zone. We traveled with a few other missionaries to the village and ate and celebrated with the members of that branch. I also won a viscous game of musical chairs against the other Elders.

Later that day, we met with some members in one of our wards for a Christmas dinner. We walked inside to find enough food for 6 men on the table for the two of us. We did our best to eat as much as we could out of fear of being found rude. We had a great visit with the family and learned a lot more about their story and journey with the gospel and the church.

It was a great week with a great Christmas. I hope you all have a fantastic New Year.

See you all next year,

Elder Farr
