Week 74

This week has been one of the weirder weeks of my mission. In some ways it feels like last Monday was yesterday and in other ways it feels like that was a year ago. It has been an extremely busy week, but it has been so much fun!

My new companion is Sister Hanson and she is heaven sent. She is such a hard worker and just wants to go out and try new and hard things. She is helping me realize the joy of the mission all over again. I couldn't have asked for a better last companion. Selfishly, I feel like she got sent to this mission just to help me out. She is preshie. We had fun taking our Christmas card pictures, so enjoy.

We had so many lessons this week - it was incredible. It might have had to do with the fact that everyone is getting back into town, but I'm just going to call it a blessing. It was good for Sister Hanson to get to teach a lot and meet all the people in our area. She's like a good luck charm or something. We went knocking on doors her first day and of the three houses we knocked on all three said we could come back. She was like "is that normal?" And I just laughed. No. No it is not.

We are also having a lot of fun doing the #LightTheWorld initiative. It’s probably my favorite of all the videos the church has come out with. I just think that service, especially at this time of year, is a really neat thing. It’s just cool to see people doing nice things for each other. So hopefully you have all seen the video and are working on serving people in 25 ways over 25 days. I know it blesses lives (especially when your companion does your dishes).

I really don't know what else to write. I'm hoping that the whole "a picture’s worth a thousand words" thing will be true for this week. I hope the holidays are going well for everyone! Stay safe!

I love you all,

Sister Doxey
