Christmas Eve! 

OK, I'm going to do this in 2 Posts...  Too much to remember and type about.

12/24/2011-

All missionaries in the Lafayette Indiana Stake/Zone, were invited to go up to Purdue Campus by our Stake President, President Ellis, and eat at an Indian Food Buffet!  I was excited because I really like Indian food!  So here are a few pictures of the restaurant!  Starting with the Front left working our way around to the top, Elder Bodily (ZL), Elder Mayfield, Elder Henderson, Elder Lowe, (DL) Elder Marchant, Elder Bair, Elder Judkins, and Elder Mecham (other ZL).  Here is my table... Sister Berrett, Sister Little, My empty seat, and Elder Rivest.   We also got to go back to President Ellis' house and have a Gingerbread house competition...  All entries were not that good... except for the sisters... theirs was impressive...

After a spiritual thought, and a wonderful blessing from our Stake President, we headed off to a Lafayette 1st wards apartment, and crashed there for the night.  Here is a picture of our fun...  OK, so you take a PVC pipe, and cut to lenght, and tape for decoration.  You then take Nerf Darts, and use it as a Blow Gun!  We played this in the dark for a few hours before bed, and celebrated being missionaries, and Christmas!  After sleeping on the floor it was back home on Christmas day to prepare for church, and a busy day of eating and calling home!  

One of the Highlights was this dart game!   Left to Right: Judkins, Marchant, Rees, Bair, and in the front row, Elder Lowe.  Don't worry the sunglasses actually were used as eye protection, they also make you look cool!  ... you need them in this game!
