The Morrill of the Story

New Christmas outfit....thanks mom! :)   This week was slow and hard, but ultimately good. We saw a lot of tender mercies from the Lord that all made up for it. On Monday we went to FHE with the YSA which was fun because we were able to build ginger bread houses. Then on Tuesday we had our Christmas devotional with our mission president which was so awesome! I just loved it. We got to eat a yummy lunch and watch A Christmas Carol. My mission has definitely gotten to me because the whole time I was watching that I was trying to pick out all the gospel principles. There were quite a few! Like the repentance and the atonement and even eternal marriage haha. After the movie we had a little devotional in the chapel where one of the Elders read the real Christmas story. It had scriptures from all over everyone of them talking about Christ, starting from the preexistence all the way until after His death. It was really cool and so spiritual to have all those script...

 Puppies! Me and Sister Lewis before she left for home.  I will miss her!     I was sick this week with an upper respiratory infection which wasn't fun, but we had as good a week as I think we could have. We saw a lot of people that Sister Tuna wanted to say good bye to. We were able to see the Tylers and Cathy and we also had dinner with our Bishop who is just the sweetest most hilarious man ever. He's a baptist convert and has a really cool conversion story, I guess he was even pretty anti-Mormon but was able to gain a testimony of more truth. He didn't tell us all the story, but I'm excited to hear more. Then since I was going to be the only sister left here in Killeen, I was able to drive up to transfers with everyone to pick up Sister Larsen. I was able to see Sister Lewis and Sister Carbno there! It was awesome. Then I met Sister Larsen who is just hilarious and so patient and caring. Since I was so sick for a couple of days last w...

    Transfer news is that I am staying and that Sister Tuna is leaving. My new companion's name is Sister Larson. No one knows anything about her haha. So I guess I will find out all about her on Wednesday . It's been truly wonderful serving here with Sister Tuna. She's going to Bedford! Which is right next to Euless so I've been able to tell her a little bit about the area. So yeah that's my life. This week was really good. We were able to accomplish some good things. We've gone caroling to member's friends quite a bit which has been so much fun! I want to go caroling for the rest of my life! People love it! No matter who they are. It's really amazing to see the spirit of Christmas touch their hearts. Which sounds pretty cheesy, but I feel like Christmas really does have it's own special spirit. I just feel like the Holy Ghost is able touch most everyone during this period. It's really amazing. We found two awesome new i...

The tree my mom sent me :)   Happy late thanksgiving ! We ate very well over here. We had a thanksgiving lunch and then a thanksgiving dinner, and we were able to teach non-members at both so that was really awesome! This week has been a somewhat turbulent one, but it has ultimately been good. The rest of my Monday last week was fun because we all played soccer as a zone. I think I forgot how fun soccer is, and also how out of shape I am haha. On Tuesday we  had to go get new tires because one of our tires is completely bald. We only waited at the place for 6 hours! It was crazy. We finally have new tires though so that's good. Let's see, a lot happened this week so I'm going to try to just stick with the highlights. We were blessed to teach a lot of lessons this week! We had an appointment with a couple named Ariel and Sebastian. We thought they were both non-members but it turns out that Sebastian was actually born in the church and was bap...
