Hello!
Wow. Well, another week over and one week closer to Christmas! Can you believe it? Me either :) I don't even know what happened this last week....
Friday was the Christmas devotional for our mission. It was SO nice to see everyone!! I saw sister Dalley and sister Richeson and I almost cried. :) it was fun to see all of the elders that I have served with too. They had some musical numbers that were amazing and then we ate Christmas dinner. Then president just let everyone stay and hang out... It was so nice!! It was kind of crazy though.... All of the missionaries from the city had to get upstate, so they took a train and then all of the upstate missionaries were assigned to pick a companionship up from the train station! It was madness.
Saturday we had a wedding for a ward member.. And then Sunday was church!! JOHN FINALLY CAME TO CHURCH! John is the less active that reminds me of Dad. He is so sweet... He wants to come back but it causes a lot of stress with his wife. I seriously love him though...
He has such a good heart! After church we had the Christmas devotional so our ward did dinner. Everyone brought dishes from their native countries. It was pretty interesting :)
Monday we woke up to a frozen wasteland...seriously. We had a nice storm. We also found out Monday morning that we don't have a window scraper, so that was awesome. Good thing the elders love us and were willing to come and scrape them off for us. Sister Chen and I went on a split Monday and Tuesday. I was with sister Card who is a brand new missionary. She is sweet and super fun. We went to visit Helen who is another person I just love. She is stubborn but she has a good heart.
She's stopped drinking coffee! And I can tell she loves us because she told us that she hopes we come back before Christmas so we can see her Christmas tree :)
