Hello, friends and family!
Mom- sorry I wasn't able to get on the computer yesterday. We had a mission Christmas Party, so we are taking our P-Day today!
Harrison- I'm so sorry that you were so sick this week :( That makes me so sad! Feel better soon!!
Mom- I have loved the 12 Days of Christmas boxes! You are killin' it with the Christmas surprises! I also received a package from the Smith family this week- thank you SO much! And THANK YOU to the McClellan's for the card and for thinking of me! I feel so loved!
We started off the week by witnessing Timmell (one of our recent converts- he is so awesome!) receive the Melchezidek Priesthood and give his first priesthood blessing! It was so neat! Then, on Tuesday I picked up my new companion, Sister Gonzalez and she is lots of fun! We work well together and I really like being companions with her! She is from Chicago and speaks fluent Spanish, so that has helped get us through a couple doors this week! We did some service for Sister Dale this week and she gave us the sweetest gift- a pair of fleece-lined leggings to keep our legs warm in the cold! Gosh! Everyone is so thoughtful :)
We have been invited to the Tiemann's home in Hereford this week for Christmas Eve (the same family that took us in for Thanksgiving-1st counselor) and then we are headed to Amarillo to spend Christmas Day with the Botkin family (he is the 2nd counselor in the branch presidency). So... YES!!! I will get to Skype and should be on around noon or 1pm (my time). I'm so excited to get to talk to and see my family! Woot Woot!
Yesterday at the 1st Annual "Jingle Jam" (that's what Sister Heap named the Christmas Party) we were able to watch the Saratov Approach, have a talent show- no Mom, I didn't participate!- and President Heap gave us the best instruction! He told us that within the next few weeks, ELDER BEDNAR will be coming and wants us to gather as a mission (which never, ever happens! There's way too many of us! 260+missionaries) and have a conference! I am so excited! There are a lot of great things happening here in the TLM!
I love being a missionary, especially during this time of the year! It is such a blessing being able to teach others about our Savior and why his birth and life is so significant in our lives today! I hope y'all have a very Merry Christmas!
Love,
Sister Evans
MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL
My New Comp! Hermana Gonzalez
Texans have some serious Texas-Pride!! I love it!
