Hey everyone!

So i lost track of time reading everyone's emails and so im a little rushed...So ill try and get the highlights in :)

SO the best thing happening is the Home family. They are THE BEST. It was kind of a rough week for them because they are having a LOT of hard things happen in their lives right now...But they are all so great and i LOVE them :) This week we were able to take them to a baptism and they LOVED it! We also taught them about the gospel of Jesus Christ, and about families being the central unit in the Gospel. It was great. I love when we just have lessons that are so filled with the spirit. One of the best things though was that after we said the closing prayer in one of our lessons, Mandy asked if she could ask us a question. She then Very seriously asked if we were allowed to show our ankles.... haha it was GREAT! we laughed and explained that we just wore boots all the time because it was really stinking cold up here for skirts :)

Man you gotta love the things people say about Mormon missionaries :)

Other cool things this week were that i got to help out on a farm, brushing horses and stuff and gathering the eggs/fixing a chicken coop. A horse sneezed on me...that was a good one haha. Umm It rained a TON.... I got to go to a Christmas party? haha apparently in Santa stays in Phelan well after Christmas...and thats about it.

I wish i had more time...but i will say one thing, as we have been trying to help the people here I have come to the overwhelming conclusion that life with out the gospel is..the worst. I am SO grateful that i have been blessed with know the gospel for my whole life because i have realized how hard it can be with out God's direction.

I think its a pretty good realization to come to in the last 4 weeks of your mission huh? haha 

Its crazy that everything is coming to a close soon, but just keep praying that i'll be able to finish strong :) because i definitely want to make the most of this!

I love you all SOOOO much!

Thanks for always writing me, even towards the end :)

Love
