It really is a wonderful time of the year! Well this week leaving Port St. Lucie was really hard because I made so many great friends there and really do love that ward because they are amazing but off to Vanderbilt I went. It's crazy I've served in the South of my mission in Miami, the farthest north it goes in Port St. Lucie and now I'm on the West Coast.
My new companion is Sister Peterson and she's from Bountiful, Utah and she's been on her mission for about 6 months. She's so cute and spunky and we've been having a ton of fun together.
Just a few fun highlights from the week. Near our house is a house that has set up a ton of Christmas lights and you are able to drive their driveway to see them all, so of course we stopped and drove around to see the lights.
(Here's what one of the houses looked like)
Also our ward's Christmas party was this week and it was Luau themed so we took a photo with Hawaiian Santa.
Also we had the coolest miracle the other day. So recently our Mission President has decided that Sisters should not knock after 7pm because it is too dark. Well we were not going to get our full hour of knocking in by 7 so we got permission to knock after that. We knocked into the Finkle family from Washington who were here on vacation. The dad is very familiar with the Mormons and invited us right in to explain to his kids what it is that we do. We explained about what it meant to be a missionary and explained a little about the Restoration and the atonement of Jesus Christ. We answered all of the families questions about all sorts of topics. We shared the Christmas video and the spirit was there. It was amazing!! The little girl Alice said that when she grows up she wants to be just like us. What an amazing seed planted that will one day flourish into an amazing eternal family. Super cool to see that all of our efforts matter.
Well hope you have an amazing week and don't forget to celebrate our Savior, because we're celebrating his birthday after all.
Love,
Sister Jennings
