HELLO!!! Well there is one week left till Christmas and I'm pumped!!!! <3

Funny Story:
It started when I was with Sister Taylor, my last companion we were walking around at night time we were walking in the dark, because it gets dark at like 4! :P And my companion loves owls! Well we saw a SUPER huge owl! And she shined her bright flashlight at it and at first it was pretty cool, cause I've never seen one before but then...... it look at me and then it's head did a circle l thing, and then opened its huge wings (the wing span is my arm’s length stretched across!) and then it flew down towards us and I thought we were going to die so I jumped and started to run. Sister Taylor just laughed at me. :P Then with my companion right now, Sister Cram, she hates Coyotes and we were talking about them as we were walking in an off dirt road for a short cut and then we hear something move in the branches and something ran out and my companion clung to me, and so I jumped (a big jump)! :P haha but.... it was just a cat! :P hahahaha Then Sister Cram and I were walking again during the night time and I heard what sounded like a huge owl flying above me so I dropped down and Sister Cram threw up her arms and was like I’m done, I’m done and walked so fast up the road and I was like are you going to leave me here to die?! And she's like yep! :P haha funny because that time as well she was talking about Coyotes. :P haha

Well, good thing is, I'm still alive. Church yesterday was AMAZING!!! I'm going to finish the Book of Mormon by tonight #3timeonmission.  My goal is to read it 4 times by the end of my mission! :)

I love you all! Let me know if there's anything or anyone that I can pray for! :)

This last week we had our ward Christmas party and man was that the best one I've ever been to yet! :) We got to dress up and we sang songs. Connell ward is pretty amazing!

Also I'm super pumped for Christmas! <3 Just want to shout out to all my family, I LOVE YOU!

Also Shout out to my MTC district, I just was listening to our song (If You Could Hide to Kolob) So amazing! We've got to get back together! <3 :)

Also we got to give a fun/different service! :) Helping concession stands at a wrestling match. :)

I also, got to go on an exchange with Sister Dalebout who's been out for just over 2 weeks! She's so amazing! She also shared Alma 26 with me and man is it life changing for me. I invite you all to read it at least 2 times. One personally then one with others out loud and share your thoughts while you read. You will receive personal revelation! It's pretty awesome!

Also, on Saturday we got asked to share our testimonies in Sacrament meeting for 3-4 minutes. And I had like no idea what to share in my testimony. I didn't know till Sunday morning before church and I felt like I needed to share Alma 26 with them just a few of my favorite verses and explain and share my thoughts. :) It was pretty cool because then after that a member in the ward came up to me and said something to the effect of "Thank you so much for sharing your testimony! My husband and I really needed to hear what you've shared. I don't think you realize how much you're in tune with the Spirit." That was something that was pretty awesome that happened to me. :) And yes she is right, I don't realize and I don't think a lot of people understand how much we are in tune with the Spirit. This has been my studying; how can i recognize the spirit better and when i'm receiving personal revelation.  I've found a few things on it, but i will share my thought with all of you next week. :)

You're all amazing! I love you all!

Hey, a video you all should watch is called "  Act in Faith: The Stonemason  " <3

Don't forget to #lighttheworld

This last week was pretty awesome!!! #lighttheworld started! Christmas is in 21 days, but who's counting right?! Haha

Then on Friday, I got permission to go to Peggy's baptism! :) I taught her for three transfers! One transfer (6 weeks) in Pasco 6th Ward and 2 transfers (12 weeks) in the Snake River ward in Burbank. :) President allowed me to go even though it had been 3 transfers sense I last taught her. But it was such an amazing experience and both her husband George and her Uncle David who I love so dearly! There were so many people there to support her and her decision to get baptized it was truly amazing! <3 #tendermerciesofthelord
Also, I’m trying to finish the Book of Mormon by Dec 19th so I can say that I read the BOM in 60 days! It's crazy, and I’m a little behind, but it is so possible! :)

How are all of you doing on #lighting the world on FIRE?! Please share your experiences with me! I would love that!

I love you all!!!
