Last Monday we all headed up to Fresno. The Corcoran sisters in our zone gave us a ride and we got to go to the mission home for a special Sisters' retreat. It was so much fun!! There's 45 sisters in our mission right now, and I realized that I knew quite of a few of them. All of the pictures for this week are with them. Sister Feldman and Sister Balls said that Madera is going great and Chuy's looking to get baptized Christmas Eve!! The picture of the 6 of us are the sisters I came out with. It was so cool to talk about how much we've learned and see how incredible they all are. We ate taco soup and President Mackay gave a lesson on what Jesus Christ did for us and how much He loves all of us. It was like a real family home evening!

Then, because
we were going to the temple the next day in Fresno, we got to spend the
night at the mission home. We spent the last hour of proselyting time
caroling to all of the Mackay's neighbors. I love the smiles people have
when we sing to them! The next day we went to the temple and it was
fantastic as always. The have the cute nativity set up outside and it
was fun to be in my old zone again.
Then last
night, the stake had a big nativity festival. There were hundreds of
nativities set up and music going. I absolutely love the Spirit of
Christmas that's here.
We gave lots of service
this week. On Wednesday we learned how to make tomales with a family,
Thursday we dug a hole to put in cement (I very much thought of you Dad
doing home projects), and cleaned part of a lady's house. #LightTheWorld
has been going so great! For the "bring the children unto me" day we
wrote notes to the kids in our branch and ding dong ditched them. Their
parents on Sunday said it meant the world to them, the littlest things
can really make a difference!
I've been writing
down miracles every day in this little notebook, I encourage you all to
do the same! When you have the eyes to see them, they're everywhere.
One of the ones I saw this week is the new mutual theme "Peace in
Christ" Which is Doctrine and Covenants 19:23 - the scripture I put on
my missionary plaque! Christ truly offers us peace when we turn to him.
Love you all!
