So everyone here is my final email. Well I actually forgot to bring my camera. stupid me. so you may or may not get an email next week with pictures. we will see. :)
So I will go over the week quickly
Monday-PDAY! we had an ugly sweater contest. i won.
then we got to have dinner with two of my favorite mbrs here sister wallace and sister post. they are hilarious!!! also we got to go see christmas lights with a familly in the ward! they are the best!
Tuesday-We saw diana! we were hoping she could get baptized this last saturday but her husband doesnt think she is ready so we are waiting. guess ill have to come back out for that baptism! road trip anyone? but we told her that we were leaving and well that was a bad life choice. haha she was so upset it was sad! its really going to be hard to leave all the people i love out here.
then that night we got to go up to palo alto and help at the creche exhibit. they had nativities from all around the world! there was even one from Oaxaca (carson!) It was a really fun thing to do!
Wednesday- a busy day! we saw a few people and had interviews and life was crazy.
thursday- we saw lots of people! okay only like 4. haha but we were at one of my favorite services in the morning. it was also pouring rain. like crazy. and i had to drive. not my favorite. haha but we got to see penny, one of my favorite less actives. she is actually going to miss us. haha we also saw janet and the kids! man i am going to miss those little kids.
Friday- we had a missionary meeting and then saw diana and then went to the ward christmas party! we got to be santas helpers. kids i have the in with santa. so you all better be good!
Saturday. longest day of my life. but it was awesome!!! so we started by cleaning hte church then we had diana come for a baptism that the elders were having then we went and saw our investigators the ramos, going to miss them too! then off to see another investigator pepetua and thne to see our ivnestigator rose. she is in the hospital. it doesnt look good. she has a growth in her stomach that is the size of a watermellon. and she isnt in the best of health. i hope she is okay. but she was happy to see us! we also went to our other ward party and then to dinner! crazy day.
Sunday- church. all. day. long. then we had the outgoing fireside. so usually its my favorite thing. i get to see people i love its awesome. well this time i had to speak. so that was unfortunate. hahaha But i survived! and i got to see some people i love from monterey and these wards right now. dublin couldnt make it down because their stake had something going so that was sad. but oh well!!!
Well that was my final week. it was a good week. I am really glad that i have been able to spend the last 18 months out here in california serving the lord. i wish i could stay(though i am excited to sleep). But thank you all for your support. I know that this church is the true church restored upon the earth today. Our heavenly father loves us and i know that christ died for us. i wish you all a merry christmas and thanks for everything you all have done for me.
SEE YOU ALL SOON!
Love, Sister Stevenson
