Dec 23
Monday was a pretty chillax day! We
stayed at home most of it. We also bought matching antlers at the dollar store!
2 for a dollar! :) They jingle! :)
Tuesday we had an awesome zone
conference with Elder Arnold of the seventy! It was super long though! We then
had a bunch of awesome lessons that evening! It was a crazy but upper good day!
Wednesday we accidentally tracted
into our dinner appointment. We got a ride and she asked where we were going
and we told her the name and the street and she told us that she knew them and
dropped us off. we were early though so we decided to knock some houses down
the street. As we decided to head to dinner we decided to knock a certain last
house and she welcomed us in as my companion told her that we were just
knocking some doors before we head to dinner and she look confused and said
"I am your dinner..." hahahaha. There are two Jackson families that
live on that street! haha. We then stopped by a new move in! Super cute family!
We are going over there today. Their little boys drew us pictures! Adorable! I
will have to send a picture! Then we got picked up by the YM and YW and went
caroling to less active and non member houses which was great!
Thursday we helped a Relief Society
president wrap angel tree gifts! And she made us some of the best hot chocolate
I have ever tasted! I will have to send you the recipe!! Then we went out and
had lunch with Sister Molina's Springville mom! So cute!! :) And she gave us
some gifts of her 5 most favorite things! It was so sweet! And they all had
meanings! And it was so sweet for her to give me them too. There was a
sweatshirt symbolizing a hug, socks for walking in Christ’s footsteps,
Chocolate, the conference Ensign, and a heating pad. I'm going to have to send you
a letter with everything because I forgot but super sweet! Then we went to a
couple of Relief Society activities!
Then Friday was our Christmas
celebration! Sister Molina and I totally twinned! We wore the same skirt and
lacy white tops and the same scarf and same skirt! :) Our guest was David Hatch
a worldwide famous pianist! He is incredible!!! One of the pics is with him! He
also shared poems he wrote from the view of Mary of her son. It was awesome!
Hopefully we will get his talk sent to us! Then the Relief Society decked out
the cultural hall like Whoville! I wish I would have gotten more pictures!! It
was adorable!! And we had café rio style burritos! Yum!! Then we had a talent
show! It was hilarious but then it started getting really long! Our zone leaders
wrote a song about not getting mail called tears! I will have to send it to
you! And then there was a reinactment of the 12 days of Christmas. We only
have the 12th day but its soo funny! Then our movie was UP :) We then picked up
our presents and had dinner and then went to mom J’s for a Christmas lesson.
She had invited 8 families over but only one showed up but it was
good! And she made me birthday cake because she forgot my birthday and
gave me an adorable scarf! And then we went caroling in a trunk and trailer
around the neighborhood! It was so much fun! :)
Saturday we baked cookies all day
for all of our ward mission leaders, relief society presidents, bishops and
people we are teaching! So many coookies! We made well over 300!
Sunday we went to two churches which
was great and delivered most of our treats and shared a message with another
family who invited a less active family over who bailed. Turns out their oldest
son was baby Jesus in the testaments!!! so cool! And then we went to the B’s-
Who we will Skype from. They are so funny! We love them!
And that is the brief version of the
week! I will have to send some notes later! :)
Love ya!
Sister Balero
