Caroling and such...

 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 week we were able to have some good bonding time as we just tried to plan for a really good next week. We're going to do awesome things this transfer. Oh and we got to go caroling on Fort Hood last night which was lots of fun. It's been so long since I've been on a military base. It was exciting. Sorry this update is so short. The medication they gave me made me really tired so I had to rest a lot. I'm feeling a lot better now though, so this next week should be really great! I'm so excited for Christmas! It's been so amazing to be on my mission for this Christmas season because I feel like I've really been able to devote all of my attention to the Savior and to the real meaning of Christmas.
I feel like I've learned a lot more about my Savior this week. He truly is so loving and perfect and merciful. I've felt pretty weak these past few days, but I've felt His arms around me, supporting me and I know that He still loves me. All He wants is for me to do my best and that's what I've been striving to do. I know that He is pleased with me and is so understanding of my weaknesses and short comings. I'm so grateful for Him and for a loving Heavenly Father who was willing to send His only begotten son to by our Savior. There's no greater Christmas gift out there! This gospel is so true! I love you! Merry Christmas!

How it Came to Be

I figured that I'd start off this whole blog by telling you how I came to the decision to go on a mission. It definitely wasn't easy for me. The thought of going on a mission had never really occurred to me before. Then in October of 2012 President Thomas S. Monson announced that the previous age for sister missionaries to serve, which was 21, was now being lowered to 19 years old. Even then my initial thought was "meh, whatever". However as I continued in my college education I realized that I  was kind of burned out of school, and I wanted to do something else. Then the thought of seriously going on a mission came to me. I still wasn't sure but after a couple months thinking about it, I decided I would start my mission papers and see how I felt about it. So I started them in February of 2013 and finished them all the way in May. I still had good feelings about it, but I hadn't had that personal confirmation from Heavenly Father that I needed to go. So I...
