Highlights

Friends and family!

So I'm just going to share a few highlights from this past week! First off, it snowed! Hard! The mission office grounded our cars on Wednesday because of all the snow. It snowed all day Tuesday and into the night! On Tuesday, the four of us sisters went around with Bishop Russell and helped shovel snow at people's houses. We were shoveling a random drive way when a lady poked her head out her front door and through her tears told us how grateful she was for us. She was an older lady, and she told us that she had been worrying about how her driveway would get shoveled because she couldn't do it herself. Her gratitude was so amazing! Service is awesome!

So it's a LaPine sister's tradition to be initiated into the area by participating in "The Mattress Slide!" So of course, sister Munford and I had to initiate sisters Bennion and Parrish. We lined the stair
case with mattresses and had fun throwing ourselves down the stairs! Our neighbors probably strongly dislike us because we were super loud while doing it haha!

Thanksgiving was fun! It was definitely weird not being with my family, but we had dinner with Bishop, who's basically family anyways. Yesterday, sister Bennion and I went tracting. We knocked on this lady's door, and when she answered we asked if we could share a Christmas message about Christ with her. She looked at us and said "Well, you two are pretty young, and I've been on this planet significantly longer than you, so I know a lot more about Jesus Christ than you two do. But congratulations to you two for knowing about him." What the heck! People...sometimes they're the worst, sometimes they're the best. But! They are all children of God, and I love them! Have you all watched the new Christmas video that came out yesterday?! It's called "A Savior Is Born." And it's fantastic! Go watch it if you haven't!

I love you all and I hope you are enjoying the holidays with your
family and friends!

Love,
Sister Hanna
