CHRISTmas!

Tis the season to be jolly!

Let's just take a minute and realize who gets the ultimate birthday party each year.

What are you giving HIM this Christmas?

In other news white wash training in Waterloo is some delicious humble pie! The great thing about being a missionary is when you start to think you know what you are doing BAM curve ball! But it is good because it keeps me on my knees. 

NEW COMPANION is Sister Roberts from Sugar City Idaho! yup that's right! We knew each other before the mission!!! #blessing we played each other in soccer haha. She is SOLID and I'm pumped to become best friends :).

ICE RAIN is also a thing here in Illinois, which is not a thing in Idaho haha. it's this weird misty rain and as soon as it hits the ground it turns to ice... you know how in english we have a lot of silly grammar exceptions well I feel like that is what humidity does to literally everything hahaha

Remember the reason for the season :)
