Merry CHRISTmas!!

I was tempted not to tell this information because I don't wan tot alarm anyone, but I probably should share this news haha. We were inside having our companionship study and there was a shooting on Main Street, near our house. No one was hurt. Apparently the guy was mad at his boss or something, and he came into one of the stores with a gun. He fired a few shots and then fled the scene. There's been police cars, fire trucks, and cop dogs all up and down Main Street. We "heard" that he took off up north to Richfield Springs, so we're safe where we are.

I think they're still looking for him, but who knows. Maybe we've heard a story that's not true, but we have no idea since we can't watch the news! It's weird having something big like this happening in small Cooperstown haha. I'm glad no one was hurt and I'm glad we were inside when it happened. No worries! :) Hopefully they'll catch him soon though.

Anyway, other than that things have been pretty good. Whenever we go over to the Willden's for dinner, Brother Willden always gives us "food challenges." I actually took him up on one this time... I ATE A CAN OF ANCHOVIES! It seriously was SO nasty!!! I was gagging the entire time, but I did it :) We recorded it too hahaha. A while ago AP Gabbitas was here and he couldn't eat anchovies, so I took the food crown and now have bragging rights ha ha :) NEVER AGAIN though.

We visited Mary and Paul Kuhn (investigators) at their Santa cottage, because they're Cooperstown's Mr. and Mrs. Claus. They're great! After that we had dinner with Lois and Andy. We taught them the POS and had a good time :)

We're spending Christmas Eve with the Jones family and are helping pass out hot chocolate and cookies to people earlier in the day. I'm SOOO excited to call home!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D I'll be calling anytime after 3:00 my time on Christmas day, so hopefully that works for everyone. I don't have a specific time yet :/ On Christmas day we're planning for a district training we're giving on Thursday, having weekly planning, and going to the Willdens. So it'll be a fun day!

I hope all of you have a great Christmas and remember the reason for the season!!! Everyone should watch the "Christlike Attributes" video on lds.org! Gives me the chills every single time. I love Christ and I love all of you! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Love, Sister Hansen :)
