Ghetto Dance Moves?!?

Dear Fam,

So I was hoping for a white Christmas and it didn't happen, but the next day I felt like I was living in the North Pole. Partly because the people below us have a blow-up Santa and Elves in the yard, but mostly because there was a blizzard. We don't really know much of what goes on in the world outside of missionary work, and that includes the weather. We were at church and all of a sudden it was snowing like crazy. Then our members decided to tell us that it was going to snow all day and night, and it did. After church we went straight home and had to stay in. The next day was P-Day, and so it was super crazy trying to get all of our laundry and shopping done. The Library was closed so we couldn't e-mail, which is why I am e-mailing today. We were some of the few people who were crazy enough to go out yesterday, so we had a lot of fun at the mall that we basically had to ourselves. You don't mess with P-Day, I don't care how much snow there is, we're going out.

Christmas was awesome! We woke up and opened our presents, and then had breakfast at the church with our zone. After that we called home and then spent the rest of the day with three member families who all live in the same apartment complex. We ate a huge dinner and then they taught us all of the latest ghetto dance moves. It was awesome... I'm still sore. They laughed a lot, probably more at us than with us, but it was tons of fun. I think morning exercise will be a lot more interesting now. As weird as it sounds I'm kind of glad the holidays are over. No one ever wants to set up an appointment let alone talk to you during the holidays. Now, hopefully, we can be a lot more productive.

So a couple of weeks ago I told you I was going to tell you the story of why I had to take an Elder to the hospital, but I forgot, so I will tell you now. An Elder who covers Paterson in Spanish needed to go to the hospital, but his companion was throwing-up all night and was sick, so he called my companion and I and asked if one of us could go to the hospital with him while the other stayed home with his companion. I had seen this Elder at church the previous day and he was limping. The reason he was limping was because he had a swollen gland in his, how should I say this... manhood? I guess he passed out from the pain while he was in the shower and then went to the emergency room where they told him to go get an ultra-sound. So I took him to the hospital to get an ultra-sound. Everyone kept sending us to different parts of the hospital to see different people, and it was funny watching every one's face when they read his paper-work. I definitely will never forget it. I'm pretty sure everyone there thought we were like together, together. Oh well, can't care. so that's the story. I just talked to you guys on the phone so I don't have much else to say, other than I love you.

Love Elder Tilley
