OUR CHRISTMAS DAY PHONE CALL WITH LAUREN!!!
On Christmas Day I was ready by the phone. I thought Lauren would be calling in at 10:30 our time but it turned out she meant 10:30 her time. So when she finally did call she said she was going to have breakfast with the family she was visiting and then she would call us back. So, around 12:30 she finally called in. It took us 20 minutes to get the Google hangout up and running because Lauren forgot to bring her instructions and she didn't remember her account number. But after a little while we were all online together for about 40 minutes and it was GREAT!
It was great seeing you too! Yeah
it was like I never left ya'll. By the way I met someone the other night
at the VC from Alabama. I told him you are from Birmingham (right??)
and he said he lives 30 minutes from there. And then I started speaking
in a Southern accent to him haha.
Anyways, yes
I loved the boxes you sent!! Thank you so much! They went to the
mission home so I got them from there. There was like 50 billion boxes
the week of Christmas for all the missionaries. Okay maybe not that
many. But a lot. I love the scarves and the tops you got me! I actually
was wanting a black sweater/cardigan and really wanted another plain
top, so it was like you read my mind. :) And I really wanted scarves
just like the ones you got me! So 10 points for you! The only thing I
can't wear is the animal print scarf because we're not allowed to wear
animal print. :( But, I love everything else! And grandma's clothes are
really cute too! I'll send back anything that I can't wear/doesn't fit
well. As for the pj's, yes I like them! I wore them when I was sick so I
called them my sick pj's. And I mainly wanted my stripped footie pjs sent to me so that Sister
Orantes and I could wear our footie pjs together hehe :) I didn't want to
buy new ones because they are expensive. It kept me warm as well
though!
The whole past month has just been a
wonderful experience overall at the Visitors' Center. I had a lot of
sweet experiences talking with people, getting to know them and doing my
best to help them in whatever way I could during the short time we had
together. I was able to bear my testimony a lot and teach from the Book
of Mormon, which was a huge blessing. I really am grateful for the Book
of Mormon and the power it has. Christmas time has been very special and
I was lucky to have spent it at the Visitors' Center!!
Here are some pictures from the past week from Lauren!
