Week 65: Last Christmas in the mission!

  December 29, 2014

Friends & Family,

So this week was GREAT. Christmas Eve, we made tamales, some had chicken, beef, and cheese & Jalapenos. YUMMM!!! We just hung out with people in our branch, it was so fun. 

Christmas was amazing. I loved every minute of it. I loved skyping my family!!! I miss them so much and just love them SOOO MUCH!!! It's nice to say that the next time I see my family is NOT going to be over Skype... :) After skyping we just went home and RELAXED.... we watched some bible videos and took naps.. I know it sounds lame and weird BUT as missionaries we don't really get to really relax... EVER...  So it was so good!! :) 

So our Saturday didn't go as we planned.... after we studied we were eating lunch then decided to take our beds apart to make more room in our bed room.... So these are steel bed frames.. I get on and try to jump to take it apart, I got one side then my companion Hermana Nyre gets the other side, she jumps and it falls and then she lands on a sharp steal spring.... she starts yelling and screaming and crying... all I see is blood.. I ALMOST passed out... ( I am so glad my other companion was there to take care of her and help her, I wouldn't have been able to do that. haha) I went in the other room while I called my mission presidents wife. The cut is like 2 1/2 inches long and REALLY DEEP!! So we go and get her in the car as I am driving to the urgent care... the wait was 3 hours long.............. I said a quick prayer to get us in a little quicker than 3 hours.... it was only a 1 hour wait...  she got back there and got some stitches.. six stitches!! I could watch. I felt so sick after... I think I take after my dad?? (does that sounds familiar daddy?) haha, But she is doing good now, on crutches so it's hard to do missionary work. haha Soon she will be better!! :) She is a strong girl!! I just felt so bad for her.. :( Poor girl! hahaha.

So my other companion, Hermana Newman is going home today...I am very sad but happy for her. She has been such an amazing example to me! She has taught me so much in the 6 weeks we had! :) I will miss her a lot but I will see her soon!! :) I LOVE HER!! 

So transfers are next week, Next week I should have some NEWS.. :) 


Well, Thank you for those people who sent me a letter or package, it meant a lot to me. I will write you when I get the chance!! :) 

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM VIRGINIA :) 

Love and miss ya'll!!! :)
