Hello family and friends!!
Transfers happened again!! I am staying the same, the only difference is I am being called as a Sister training leader!!
we will have to see how that goes.
I hope you all had an amazing Christmas!! I sure did!! We were able to make a fort on Christmas eve after watching Mr. Kruger's Christmas as a mission. (Get this... every year my family would watch Mr. Kruger's Christmas on Christmas eve. As a missionary, I didn't expect to be able to watch it, but last year we watched it with a member, and this year as a mission!!!! The tradition still goes strong!! Haha)
We actually went caroling as a district on Christmas Eve! Before Christmas, we had been helping this family decorate their tree, when Darrell, the man we were helping, pulled our his LONG stocking. He told us it was his biggest dream to have his stocking filled up to the top! His wife laughed and told him "you know we cannot afford that!!" We joked around about filling it up with Toilet paper for 2020, but while leaving that service I had a determination to fill that stocking for Darrell this Christmas! With help from amazing members, we were able to gather together loads of treats and hygiene products. When Christmas Eve rolled around, we had a big box loaded with stuff!!
It was a touching moment when we came caroling to Darrell and asked to borrow his stocking. We took it to the truck and filled it to the brim! Struggling to hold it up, we walked it to his door and knocked again.
To see Darrell's face when he saw his Christmas stocking filled was so touching!!
Later he messaged us a BIG thank you for helping him fulfill his dream that he had had for 30 years!
This Christmas has defiantly been one of the most touching memories from the mission!
I would love to hear about your Christmas!!
