SO!
I finally met with the Doctor
and got my tonsillectomy scheduled for January 22nd. She said, "Yeah
that's disgusting, we need to get that out."
Then we had a FIESTA! All the
Spanish speaking members in the area brought their favorite food and we had a
lesson on Christmas, danced to great music, and ate empenadas! All the
missionaries in our zone were there as well and it was a party if I ever saw one
(the Elders might have enjoyed dancing together just a little too much
though......) We're gonna have to do it again because it was so much fun.
We went into PacSun and got
some SUPER comfy sweatshirts for our Christmas presents to each other and have
been very much enjoying those. But the poor kid at the register was so confused
as to why girls in skirts were in his store.....it was so funny. "These
aren't for you are they?"
We got to bake lots of cookies
and treats and bread this week with members and non-members alike. People let
you in the door, just because they feel bad. We'll take it!!!
The members spoiled us with
gift cards and treats. And we also got stockings dressed like Sister
Missionaries with name tags and all! So cute. And stuffed with yummies.
Christmas Eve we went to a
members house for dinner and it finally felt like Christmas. We laughed
non-stop and stuffed our faces with pie. Then we got to watch 30 minutes of
"The Polar Express" with them.
Christmas morning we woke up
bright and early as always and took some pictures, opened presents, then went
to a members home for breakfast and Christmas fun. BACON! We played games,
danced to Christmas music, and ate more candy.
Then we got to go to another
home and Skype! All my siblings at once. That was unexpected. I didn't know
Skype was that fancy and I was expecting to have to Skype one person at a time.
So there were glitches, but we were all there at once and it was perfect.
After, Brother Hatch asked me how we all talk at the same time like that and
understand. I explained it would have been like that if we were all in person
as well so it's not that big of a deal :)
I love you guys.
It's been a rough week in a
"College town" where so many people are out of town, but it was still
magical. But I'm glad I only have to do that once :)
Thank you for all the cards
and little gifts!
I love you all!

Best:
1. Seeing all the fam at once.
2. My happiness journal. Every
night I write the things that made me happy that day.
3. Potato casserole. The
person who fed us Christmas dinner called Mom and got the recipe. It was
wonderful.
4. Presents! (Especially the
tomato soup. Thanks Mom!!!!)
5. At dinner last night the
little kid asked what the orange chunks in the chili were. The Father quickly
answered, "unicorn meat."
Worst:
1. Cough cough cough. I'm sick
again!
2. I got a blessing that said
it will get worse before it gets better :( GRRRRR!
