I
hope everyone had an amazing Christmas as much as I did. We had a white
Christmas...and it's still snowing. Thank goodness for cars. Anyways, I
was able to spend it with members here in Logan/Smithfield. Being away
from home and not being able to spend it with my family made me
appreciate my family even more. I love my family and I'm grateful for
everything that they've taught me. Because of them I'm on a mission and
still strong in the church. They taught me the doctrines of the gospel.
On
Christmas Eve, we went to a member's (Hermana T) home to cook pozole
because we had dinner with her that day. My companion learned how to
cook it since she's not Hispanic. Then we went to Smithfield to have
another dinner with the Family H. We had dinner with them, we talked for
a while and laughed a lot. They're a very fun family. Then we ate
chocolate. They had a chocolate fountain
and fruits, cake, pretzels, and all that good stuff and we just put it
in the chocolate fountain. It was soooo good. Then they gave us a gift.
Very nice of them. :)
Then
we had a sleep over with a couple of the sisters since it was Christmas
Eve. It was a lot of fun. We did a white elephant gift exchange. We
laughed a lot and talked.
On
Christmas, I was able to Skype my family. I saw my whole family and the
side of my dad's family. It was great seeing them. They were having a
party in the background. haha I'm so glad I'm Mexican because they know
how to party on Christmas. It was great talking to my parents and my
brother. My brother told me how he's preparing to go on his mission. I
was very excited for that. He's excited for that. Who knew he had the
desire to go on a mission? Certainly not me. haha I think yesterday was
going to be the last time I saw him since he'll be going on his mission
soon. It's ok, sacrifice brings blessings. :)
Well
everyone, I hope you have a HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'm not sure what we're
doing for that day. Hope a lot of people are home. haha Hope to hear
from you soon as well.
