She Just got Yeeted by Santa

This week was kind of a crazy one!! 


Monday: We went and got Thai food.  I usually love Thai, but this stuff was not the best haha! It was an experience! 


Tuesday: We went to lunch with a girl named Brandi and some of her friends. She is 17 and wants to learn more about the church.  It was so fun! 


Wednesday: This day was crazy! Sister Brown started feeling sick and we ended up getting our whole zone, the tech zone and our mission STL's quarantined for Christmas! We felt bad! 


Thursday: By some miracle we were able to get Sister Brown a rapid covid test. We did have to wait in the car for 5 hours, but it was definitely worth it! She was negative! Everyone got out of quarantine and it was a Christmas miracle!!


Friday: Was Christmas! We chilled most of the day.  Some members brought us breakfast and dinner. I love being able go focus on Jesus Christ. That night the STLs let me go on a mini exchange with them since both my comps weren't feeling too good and we went caroling with the zone. 


Saturday: We did a surprise service project. We raked a bunch of peoples yards as a surprise and it was actually so much fun.  I enjoyed it! 


Sunday: I got to hear my dad and brother do a musical number in church over zoom.  I also got to hear my good friend Sister Dunkley's Homecoming talk.  Shout out to her! To top off the day, I got to talk to my sister in law for her Birthday!


Spiritual Thought:  This week we focused so much on the Savior.  Oh how I'm so grateful for him and the light he has brought into my life.  Let him in!  He will bring comfort and peace that you didn't know possible.

Things we did! 


Monday: We went and played Disc golf with some elders and it was a party! 


Tuesday: We went to Gail's house! She let us come in and it was so much fun to visit her! I love her so much! We also found this Arlington sign on the freeway and I just pulled over on the side of the highway! Haha kinda funny except I think I scared Sister Chomjak half to death! 


Wednesday: We picked up Sister Brown! Sister Chomjak and I have a new addition to our companionship! We are now a trio! Sister Brown is the happiest human and I have laughed harder with her than I have in my whole mission! I also said bye to Sister Larsen and Dunkley! They both went home this week which literally broke my heart! 


Thursday: We had service at the AT&T stadium! We were handing out food for Christmas! It was a party! 


Friday: We volunteered at Arlington Charities! I got to go around to all the cars and ask them about a form! Kinda fun! 


Saturday: We got special permission to have movie night as a zone! We got to watch Polar express for Christmas! 


Sunday: We went to the Hamiltons! They are literally my favorite humans! They are so cute and decided to give us Christmas! Sister Hamilton gave us each like 5 presents! It was so cute of them! 


Spiritual Thought: Since its Christmas this week, we have focused a lot on Jesus Christs birth! Isn't it so cool that we have a whole holiday dedicated to the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ?? Thats pretty dang cool! Anyways I just hope you all know how much Jesus loves you! He truly is our Savior and he will be your best friend if you let him! 


I hope y'all have a Merry Christmas this week! Remember the true meaning of Christmas! Love you!

Sisters = Salty

 This week was a good one!! 


Things that happened… 


Monday: we went and got Boba (tapioca balls).  Don’t recommend it! ! I think its absolutely disgusting ahah! 


Tuesday: we had exchanges! I was with Sister Renteria! She is literally one of my favorite humans in this world!! We volunteered at Arlington Charities! Gail roasted me the whole time!! As always! 


Wednesday: We went and decorated a ladies Christmas tree that we met off Facebook! We also visited Sister Dodge! She told us her life story and it was so cool!! 


Thursday: We went to Alisas! She doesn’t want to learn more which is sad, but I'm glad that we have become friends with her! She is the sweetest!


Friday: We went and cleaned a ladies house! She had the cutest baby boy and was super sweet! We were able to talk about Jesus Christ and it went really well! 


Saturday: We volunteered for salvation army! It was so fun to collect the presents for Angel trees! At the end we were talking to a youth group and one of the girls was named Brandi! She texted us after and wants to get together and learn more about our church! It was so so exciting!


Sunday: We went to the Betancourts for dinner and then we got to watch the First Presidency Christmas Devotional with their family! It was so much fun. 


Spiritual Thought: If you didn't get the chance to watch the Christmas devotional! You should watch it! You should be able to find it on churchofjesuschrist.org! My favorite part was how much they talked about Jesus Christ being the ultimate gift and that we need to open that gift! So my challenge for you this week is to open the door and make Christ the center of this Christmas season! 


Y'all are the best! Have a good week!
