Jacob's Mission

Góða kvöldið vinirnir mínir! How are you guys doing? Merry Christmas! Christmas here has been amazing! The members invited us over a bunch. They gave us a bunch of food and candy and snacks.

They fed us something called 'astapunktur' which translates to love points, but they said it translated to 'love testicles'... They were just bread, no meat of any sorts, so thank goodness, I was a little worried about tasting rocky mountain oysters for the first time.
