yes, i am now 20 years old. ultra exciting i know. you can see the various photos i sent to mom of how i celebrated my birthday. i got the shoes friday and have been so happy. the package from the sibs was great! thanks loads. i loved all of it. i also got myself a shirt from walmart that has the griswald family christmas tree on it. i wear it like erry night. its da bomb.
Okay so this week was awkward. we were super diligent but numbers didnt show(classic) BUT it was just weird. but a lot of good things happened. like we got a new gator, heather who is friends with some members of our ward so we are excited to see where this goes. But we also lost a gator... Tracy(47yrold single woman going on 17 in personality) couldnt give up drinking at christmas time soo she is not going to be in our teaching pool anymore.
We went on exchanges this week and I went to Goldenrod. it is there that I talked with SOOO many homeless people. I feel that anyone who is in such a situation (or one similar) has some HUGE back story that they feel OBLIGATED to tell anyone who shows interest. so that was actually ultra fun and just a good time. i love talking to people. it s so great.
OOOH yesterday we got to go to a stake choirside where they sang selections from Handel's Messiah! OH MY AMAZING! I LOVED IT! i seriously was just sooo happy that i got to go! the spirit was so strong and it was just so beautiful! especially when they sang for unto us a child is born. BEST SONG EVER!
I love the SAVIOR! i have been really focusing on him this time of year - between his Birth and his atonement there is just so much to reflect on. He did so much for us. and there is nothing we can do to repay him - -but strive to be obedient to His council and commandments. It is by doing that that he is pleased with us and pours out all his blessings from above and encircles us in the arms of his love. listen to this:
