Hey guys! This week has been so good. Sister Ahlstrom is feeling so much better, thanks for your prayers everyone.
WHOO!!
It's almost Christmas!!! Hands down, one of my favourite times of
year. It wasn't really feeeling too much like Christmas, but it's
starting to a bit more. This last week we got a tree and decorations
from the Penstones and our amazing neighbour Jenny. I'll try to send
some pictures next week (I temporarily--hopefully--misplaced my camera)
so hopefully I will be able to find it soon.
The
spirit of Christmas is definitely real and beautiful. But I think the
power of it is proportional to the amount of people who understand what
it's really about and get involved in the giving, serving and loving.
I'm not sure about that yet, I'll have to think about it some more, that
just came out when I was typing haha.
We're trying hard to spread those feelings though :)
Here is a 2 minute Christmas video: worth the time!! https://www.mormon.org/christmas?cid=HP_SU_11-29-2015_dMIS_fSPC_xLIDyL1-A_
I
am planning on going carolling with some of the families we know and
with our neighbours. I probably should let people know though and get
it organized ha. Just maybe. I tend to plan things in my head and
think people know about them. I mentioned it to Sister Ahlstrom
yesterday and she looked at me surprised because I was acting like it
was something we had been planning on. And I had been...just not out
loud I guess.
This week we had some
reappearances of people we haven't seen in a while. We were able to see
Bel and Nic and then Sunday they were back at church which was the
BEST!
Nothing too dramatic happened except Ross
came to church in a white shirt and tie! And on a bike with a hurt
ankle. So that was a huge sign of commitment for him :)
We've been super spoiled with everything, especially recently--food, Christmas stuff, etc.
I
am sooo grateful for the branch here, for Sister Ahlstrom, for my
Heavenly Father and my Saviour and for this special time of year that
brings families together. And for egg nog which we just found in the
shops today :)
Love you all!! Have a great week!
Love,
Sister Formica
