Making a List, Checking it Twice!

Merry Christmas! Wow, it has been a crazy week! My bike brakes were funky, and we took it to get it fixed. Stuffed my face at Panda with a member. I live for Panda. 

It dropped below zero with 30 mph winds. So that was fun. To do. While riding a bike. I loved it. My body was so numb that it didn't even hurt after a while. I've begun wearing thermal leggings under my pants to keep my thighs warm. Zero regrets. 

But like the cold weather was a huge problem here. Everyone was told to drip their faucets and open the cupboards under the sink to protect the pipes from freezing and breaking. And let me say that there are many pipes that broke in San Antonio. The apt the floor above us had theirs break, and there were 2 inches of water in their rooms. Super rough for them.

I had my interview with President. He's an awesome person. I'm excited to see what the next transfer will bring. Might be leaving my first area. I also had comp exchanges which was cool. While I was gone, the other elder broke the chain to my bike, haha. So now we need to take the bike to the shop again. Hooray:) 

Woke up to a beautiful sunny Christmas morning, ready to DESTROY the wrapping to my presents! Not before my morning prayer, of course though. Gotta remember the greatest gift of Christmas. Jesus Christ himself. I love that guy. He's pretty awesome. I got lots of beautiful ties and snacks. My amazing grandparents had a box full of gifts and treats for me, along with a box from my home ward. Shout out to Middleton 4th ward. Y'all are the best:)

Church was great. Loads of musical numbers, and I sang with the young men. The majority of us were tone-deaf but that's not important. We were loud and proud.

Love y'all. Choose the right. Also, something I learned from my exchange was making sure that when you read the Book of Mormon, or anything for that matter, ask yourself what you learned. That way, you are looking for applications in this modern day. Because it truly does apply to us. 
Hurrah for Israel!!

Fractured my foot?

  It's been solid. I might have fractured my foot last pday playing soccer. I swung so hard at the ball but hit Sister Vaughn's foot instead and smoked myself. It got all swollen and red and purple for a few days. But it was doing better! Enough for us to play spike ball as a district every morning for exercise lol. I've got no time. Photo dump

My dad got hit by a car?!?

Image
Phew!! What a week.  It was crazy. I got a text on Wednesday that my Dad got hit by a car while riding his bike to work. I was like GASP. He fractured a bunch of bones on the right side of his face and sinus, but he's okay thanks to the miracles of God. Like seriously, God was watching over him. Me and my comp immediately started pouring out our hearts in prayer for my dad. And he's okay! Thank you Heavenly Father that I can still see him during my life on Earth:) God is such a legend for that, haha! Spiritual thought: My mind took an eternal perspective this week because of what happened with my dad. It's crazy how fast something can happen, and it really made me realize how much I cherish my family. Family is EVERYTHING. It's literally what makes Heaven, home. Truly makes a person "think Celestial" when an accident happens. We are truly blessed having the knowledge of God's plan--don't take advantage of it!! Miracle lady: Found a really cool lady who

People passing out-->ZC training-->CAR hits comp-->God's will

  WOAH.  LIKE WOAH.  I MEAN WOOOOOOAAAAAH. This week has been crazy! So much has happened. First was coining on the military base. The sun was out and it was HOT! Someone passed out and fell straight on their face on cement and got reallyyyyy injured so they totally changed the coining ceremony. People were dropping like flies. We went to the graduates under one of the training facilities, and there was a HUGE FLAG.  CAR CRASH?!?!?! Yup, I went to Heritage, which is a biking area, and we were flying down a hill on the ride side and a HUMONGOUS RED.... Prius...SLAMMED INTO MY COMP.  Jkjk that was over exaggerated. But my companion is fine, just got sideswiped by it. We got all the information from them, and I pressured them into meeting with us at least once because they ran into my companion, lol. I'm all about finding those Nations, haha. The person driving was a kid who just had his permit and he didn't even signal. ELECT DUDE: Put a super cool man on date! First lesson was t
