Relieved sigh. 12/12/16

Sister Wilson is departing. I hate to say it, but I am sort of relieved. She is a great missionary and will continue to do good things in another area, but I need my stress and anxiety level to go back to semi normal levels once again. So. Yeah. 

Christmas has started here in Purvis! My loving family has sent me my presents that now reside next to the cute little tree they sent me, decorated with ornaments they attached to kind things about me. Wonderful people. Y'all should really get to know them! 

So excited to see what they contain! The presents, not my family. 

Not a lot to say this week, but here are a couple highlights of the week:

-Dinner at the Slaughter's house. They are huge BYU fans, which is displayed in their son's name. Brigham Cougar Slaughter. Yep. You know you're big BYU fans when...

-Sister Wilson taking it upon herself to load the dishwasher and wash the dishes, even though we were out of dishwasher detergent.

​She used a whole 1/4 bottle of dish soap. So many bubbles! These pictures were taken before it got into the full cycle which resulted in bubbles across the whole kitchen floor. 

-Caroling last night with the ward. Or at least part of the ward.

We rode on a trailer pulled by Reo Grover on a tractor. So much fun! We went singing through the streets and up to houses, spreading Christmas cheer! Those who opened their doors thanked us for the singing and asked where we were from. One precious soul yelled "Hattiesburg." Face palm. The lady then said, "Oh. I thought you were from some kind of church." That brought the reply of "We're Mormons" Double face palm. Let's practice everyone. Where are we from? The Church of Jesus of Christ of Latter-day Saints. Good. 

We had a good laugh over that one. Reo Grover asked "Who said Hattiesburg?!" That would be your daughter in law Sir. 

It was a good experience! We had just tracted one of the neighborhoods 2 weeks ago, and only found one family willing to listen, but they are moving tomorrow. It was cool to see people open their doors to a message of The Saviour through song. The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!

Well that is all for now folks! Love you!!
