Yes, we are in the dark.  [It gets dark by 3:30 in the afternoon and not light until after 8:30 in the morning.] It was really funny because this week the mission home sent everyone a little packet of Vitamin D that we are supposed to take every day.  Also we teach a lot at night or have other meetings, so we are just wandering in the dark for hours on end.  Most nights it's not too bad.    

We got the Christmas package and are having lots of fun.  I think you're going to love the outfits we have planned for Christmas (including those leggings).  

This week was good!  We had Christmas conference in Edinburgh.  The first have was like a normal conference and the second half was fun stuff!  We had a snowball fight with 100ish missionaries, had a white elephant, and watched Incredibles 2!  It was fun to relax a little and to throw 'snowballs.'  I think I threw one too many though because my shoulder was sore after haha.

This week we were getting off of the bus and we saw a man that we had talked to multiple times in the street.  He always asks us questions like he's interested, but never wants to meet.  Well it was raining and super windy, so he offered to buy us a hot chocolate and get us out of the rain.  We were able to teach him the Restoration.  He loved it and is really excited to come to church next week.

We got to LIGHT THE WORLD this week for the Nasaleans.  Elder and Sister Edwards bought them a tree.  We surprised them with it and carolled at the door.  They loved it and Alex was in awe.  It meant so much to their family.

I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY.  I LOVE PERTH.  I LOVE YOU!
