Noche Blanca

Hola!

Surprise! The Elders got transferred out 2 days before Christmas – crazy! They found out Monday night and had to leave Tuesday morning at 6:00 am. We had planned to have our District Christmas Party on Tuesday so we went to the church at 4:00 am and we still had it before the Elders left our area. We were pretty tired but it was worth it! The new Elders came and they are both really sweet.

On Christmas Eve, we got to deliver the gifts for “Toys for Tots” and it was so much fun! The families were all really excited and they were so grateful to have food and toys for Christmas. We were so grateful to be a part of it!

Sister Valdivia's birthday was on Christmas Eve so we celebrated with cupcakes and all that jazz! For her birthday – she really wanted it to snow and there was no snow anywhere. But, when we were driving back to our apartment, we saw some snow that people had thrown into the street. We had no idea where it came from but we took it! We put it on the windshield of our car and took it back to our house and built a snowman on our front porch. Prayer works – she got snow on her birthday!

Merry Christmas! We set an alarm for midnight and opened all of our presents then. It is a tradition for Sister Valdivia so we had to do it. It was so much fun! Thanks everyone for everything – it was such a great Christmas! We got to go over to the White's house and spent some time with them and play games while everyone was Skyping. Skyping my family was the best! It was so good to see everyone and I miss them so much! Everyone looks so good and so happy! I seriously have the best family in the world and I am so grateful for all that they do for me. I love them!

I found out this week that my Zodiak Sign is “Aries” and that I am a “Mountain Ash” tree. It was funny to see how much it actually really describes me. We got a big hoot out of it – thanks Abby!

It snowed the day after Christmas! We didn't have a white Christmas but we now have snow. Yeah! In fact – it is snowing right now and we love it! Now it feels a lot more like winter – the temperature is down to 20+ degrees.
