(Holly) Best. Morning. EVER!!! Cassie and I became instant friends when we found out our kids were serving in the same mission. We practically live down the street from each other and have never met. We recently contacted the mission president of the Rancho Cucamonga Mission and asked if there were any missionaries that weren't getting packages this Christmas. Cassie and I got the opportunity to adopt 10 missionaries!! With the help of family and friends we were able to provide Christmas for all 10 missionaries! Since there were so many gifts we decided to drive the 5 hours to Rancho Cucamonga (with the mission president's permission) and deliver the gifts. Luckily, our missionaries are 1 hour away so no temptations. This was the best part of Christmas! The tears were flowing for us and the office couples. I lost it when the elders showed up at the mission office. They told us about the missionaries that were receiving these gifts and also gave us sweet insight on our own missionaries. It truly was a gift to us! A sweet experience I will never, ever forget!
We had a mission conference yesterday so our preparation day got switched today for the time being. But we might be having a temple trip sometime this next month in November, but I'll try and warn you and everyone in advance. I honestly dont know if I will, just thinking about it makes me queasy. I know that trials are for the better, but I really really really want it to be done. Truly. I'm going to be sending a letter to the Mulder's sometime today or tomorrow, cause I am thankful for them. I dont even know anymore honestly. Yeah I heard about Elder Noorlander's little brother coming to the mission a couple weeks back. Everyone here was honestly shocked, because as far as I know that's never happened. He comes into the mission sometime in December I believe. Well my new companion is Elder Singleton, and as far as I am concerned I hope and pray I only stay with him for this one and only transfer. He was trained by actually my trainer (my 2nd one), Elder Chris
