Happy New Year!

Hello dear family!

 

It was great to see everyone's faces!!!!!! I have one good lookin' family!! I am so grateful for all of the love that was sent my way, especially for Christmas. I got a sweet package from Aunt Jeanie and her family! That was SO fun to get! I have been wearing my boots nonstop(it's nice to have warm toes) and I had to change my outfit today because it was so cold and I just HAD to wear my cute ear warmer headband from Maryn and Blake! I feel very snuggly today. :) Anyways. I can't believe how big all of the kiddos are!! I swear Kid is a foot taller too. Everyone just looks so good and happy, it was such a blessing to see everyone. I will be jealous when Grammy & Grandad and Mandie's family go to visit. They better save up for another visit once I'm home!

 

So this week was pretty hilarious. It was pretty much a repeat of Thanksgiving. President Ashton encouraged us to visit as many people as possible and to teach short and powerful lessons. Well...in order to do that...people have to be home. It seems like everyone in our area leaves town! Everyone else talks about how they got to see their investigators...ha ha we only saw Eva Vasquez, but she didn't even let us in. We made brownies to take to a few choice families and we had lots of brownies left over. It was torcher because I could hardly eat a half one. But that's life. We ate at Subway(compliments of Mandie's present to me!) for Christmas eve dinner. It was classy. We ate at the Rodriguez family's home fro Christmas Day, it was super fun, the Santillan's came as well! After a bit there we went to call y'all which was super GREAT!!!! And Hna. Wilzbach got to talk to her parents too!! Which was a huge blessing as her family didn't support her going on a mission. For Christmas she got her first package from them in the 10 months she's been here. Needless to say she was very happy!! We celebrated by finishing our puzzle, Maryn will like it!

 

 So Hna. Wilzbach has been sick with the flu these past couple days. So I had lots of time on my hands so I decided to clean. I unclogged the tub drain that has been driving me nuts since I got to our apartment...I attached a picture. It was seriously gross. But I think Dad would have been proud of me for doing it. :) I will also attach some pictures of my Christmas adventures!

 

Have a wonderful New Years, I'll get it an hour before y'all! Love y'all so very much!! Be safe and share the gospel!

 

Love,
