Happy Holidays family!!! How are you all doing? How is getting everything ready for Christmas? I have yet to see pictures of your preparations in the drop box? Hopefully next week there will be more pictures of the decorations. Well This past week has again been kind of slow. The Holidays and Missionary work do not really mix well. Everyone is very busy or out of town, so things are not going as fast as we would like them to. But what can you do but wait for the time to pass. Well what have y'all been up to? I hear that Avery gets her cast off tomorrow!! It is crazy that she has had it on for 6 weeks already!! The time is just flying by, I think that someone must have switched the time to light speed. And I am pretty sure that it will be bumped up to ludicrous speed after the holidays. Time is going to just go by to fast and I will be home before you know it!! Well how about we get on to the stories of the week!!
So I am sure that you have all heard that a package from mom to me got stolen. Well turns out later in the day after I emailed we went home and found it in the office!!! I was so excited and the box was full of very cute magical decorations!! So I decorated the apartment and had so much fun doing it!! Well yesterday I got the second package of decorations that mom sent... So I decorated some more!!! My apartment looks amazing and I put pictures in the drop box so that y'all can see my amazing decorations!!! Oh yeah and one of the pictures in the box is of me with really curly hair, I slept with curlers in my hair. The result was more than I was prepared for!!! It was so curly!!!! And when I washed it it was a complete rats nest!! And it was very painful to get out... Oh yeah I was talking about the magic Christmas box's!! Well they were amazing and mom's 12 days book is so cute!!! I love all the pictures in it of all the people that I love!!!
Story 2 The Tale of Elder Christensen
This past Saturday we had Elder Foster of the 2nd quorum of the 70 come and tour our mission. So we had a very large Christmas zone conference!! It was so much fun to see every one who is in the north part of the mission. We had car inspections which luckily we did not really have to do be cause pep boys came and did it for us. And I am sure that you all are aware that I do not know anything about cars. so this was a big blessing. Except that we had to WAX OUR CAR last p-day!! It was so cold and luckily we have very nice Elders who helped us do it. Well any way back to Elder Foster, so we had a nice lunch provided by a ward in Reo Rancho. Then we all met in in the chapel and we started our meeting. Elder Foster is an amazing man and I truly know that he is a man of god. He told us that this is the most important time in our lives and in the world. This is the last time that the lord of the vineyard will send out workers. The more he spoke the more I realized how little time we have left to tell our bothers and sisters about this good news that we have!!! Also he talked about how he knows that God loves us, and showed us a video of Joseph Millette. God told a man to go and see Joseph Millette so that he and his family could have flour to eat. God knew Joseph Millette by name, and he knows our names too. God loves us more than we can possible imagine. I know because I felt it that day and I have felt it many times on my mission, for myself and others. Remember that he loves us especially at this time of year.

Story 2 The Tale of the Over Priced Dinner
On Tuesday of this past week we went on exchanges with the sisters from white rock. Well our dinner canceled that night but gave us 20 dollars to get dinner. So we went to the plaza and were looking at the places to eat. Well we found one and the prices looked reasonable so we went in. Well after we ordered the waitress came out with these tiny tiney plats with our food on them. It apparently was a very fancy restaurant who have really small portions. It was so fun!!! It was kind of like a date but not because we are both sisters and we are missionaries. So that would be very awkward if it were a date.
Story 4 The tale of a Young Boys Prayer
Last night we were at a less actives house teaching about christmas. We had just finished and the 6 year old wanted to say the prayer. So he leans over to his mom and whispers in her ear (this is how I helped him pray the last time we were there). And we hear him say "I pledge allgegece to the flag of the united states of america". He finished it and then said amen, and it took every ounce of skill not to say "Play Ball" !!! Haha it was so funny.
ok so that was my week and I have to run so I will talk to you all next week!! Love you!!!!
