I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas!! I know mine was Fantabulous! But that was the end of the week, so I will tell you about my week first. Tuesday at District Meeting we watched "The Mountain of the Lord"... at least that is what I think it was called. It was really good! It was all about building the Salt Lake Temple. I really enjoyed it. After our meeting we went to Malvern, and taught a lady named Mary. She is really cool. She has three little kids and they are SO CUTE!! We are really excited to teach her again. She seemed really interested, and I think she likes the idea of primary and nursery for her kids. Wednesday, I don't really remember what we did... Oh well. It was a great day! I really loved all of last week so I'm sure it was a great day. Thursday, Christmas Eve, was a REALLY fun day! We went to the Jackson's house for dinner at 2:30... Yep early dinner, because after dinner we went caroling. That was really fun! There were about eleven of us. We had a lot of fun. We were in Hot Springs Village and went to eleven houses so it took us Three hours. We had to drive to all the different houses, because we went to their friends and some members. It was really fun. FRIDAY!! CHRISTMAS!! We got up and opened our gifts at 6:30... We just couldn't wait any longer. It was really fun. Then we well we should have studied, but we couldn't focus, so I played with some of my new stuff while Sister Miller got ready. Then Sister Miller called her family and had them open the gifts that she sent, and I got ready. For companion study we read Luke 1 and 2. SO GREAT! Then I got to call my fam for about two minutes. That was GREAT!! Then we were off to visit some less-actives. We had a lot of fun doing that. At 11:50 we headed over to the Quesenberry's so Sister Miller could really call her family. When we got there they were still opening gifts, so I was able to watch that. I really enjoyed that. Then we went and visited some more people and at 6:00 we were back at the Quesenberry's for dinner. Dinner wasn't ready, so we helped with whatever they needed. We ended up eating at 7ish. That was GOOD. I was able to call home at 8:00 (THE BEST TIME OF THE DAY)! I even was able to hear both of my nieces being REALLY CUTE!! I love CHRISTMAS!! Saturday was a normal day. We had some appointments with people. The best one was with the Welch's. We taught them the Restoration using the cup demo (if you don't know what that is I will teach you when I get home). The spirit was strong and at the end of the lesson we sang I am a Child of God, and even the two little boys (2 yrs) were quiet and LISTENING. That was AWESOME!! We see great things happening with them! We were able to teach a little girl how to play soccer that night. It was really fun. We are teaching a part-member family and the little girl wanted to learn how to play soccer. Sister Miller played in High School, so she was able to teach her. Sunday we went to Glenwood and taught two FANTASTIC lessons. The first was the restoration for Jack. That was great. We taught him last week with his son and a friend. I'm really excited about that. Then we were able to teach Ember. That lesson was really good because there weren't so many little kids running around. We were able to focus on Ember, and I think that is really what she needed. Now we are just hoping that she will come to church on Sunday. We got some bad news on Sunday, Sister Miller is getting transferred. She is going to be going to G-town for at least a week. While she is there she will be in a threesome. We are waiting for a Temple Square Sister to come out. Then the threesome will be split and Sister Harmon will train the Temple Square Sister, and Sister Laulu and Sister Miller will be comps. We just don't know where each companionship will be. And I will be training the greenie. I'm really nervous about that, but I know that is what the Lord wants so okay I'll do it, I'm just nervous! Well that is our week. IT was fantastic until the phone call Sunday night. Now we are both nervous about our new companions. I love you ALL! And I miss you!
