This week was a really busy and really good week. Hermana Lauaki-Sablan had a great birthday and everyone did a lot to make it a good day for her.
Wednesday we went on exchanges and I went to Yucaipa for the day with Hermana Jepperson who is just the greatest and I had lots of fun and learned a lot from her.
Thanksgiving was great! In the morning we got to volunteer at the Redlands Turkey Trot 5k and that was really fun, we were at the finish line cheering and making sure no one tripped on the curb. Not a single stumble so we were successful :) Then we spent some time baking and writing little notes for our investigators and members in our area and delivered them. They were so good that they were still talking about them on Sunday! We've been named the best cookie makers of the branch! We had two dinners with members and were stuffed! Oh, and fun fact: it got up to 97 degrees on Thanksgiving! We're definitely in California!
And now it's December and it's Christmas season which is always my favorite time of the year, even more so when I'm a missionary. It just seems that peoples hearts are softened more and are naturally turned to the Savior, which makes our job easier!
The weeks are just flying by like crazy especially because I'm still trying to get to know the area here and the people. And also because Hermana Lauaki-Sablan goes home on December 16th so that is just sneaking up on us like no ones business. As of right now she's the only one of my companions that is still out here with me so when she goes home all my companions will be home! That is so crazy for me to think about! The time goes so fast, too fast!
Hope you all have a great week, love and miss you!
Love,
Hermana Granado
