Party time

Hey everyone!

All's well in Glendale. I got to meet an amazing non member named ynelda wahl. She gives missionaries weekly painting lessons for free, but I didn't meet her until recently since she's been very sick. She's so sweet, I'm excited to get to know her better over the weeks.

I had dinner with a mortician's family on Sundaynight. There was a coffin right next to the table and everything. They're the funniest family in the ward, their youngest (about 9) brought us a petrified buffalo bone. He wanted to pass it around but I got out of that one(;

Twice a week we do yoga with the capshaws in the morning. It's really cool since they invite all the recent converts in the ward, they seem to get along pretty well. I did a headstand a few days ago, it was wild. I'm alright with flexibility, but I lack in balance. Oh whale((:

Christmas here is fun. I've gone to so many Christmas parties! Everyone wears short sleeves and flip flops. The cactuses are wrapped in Christmas lights and houses are DECKED OUT. Everyone has inflatables on their rock yards and lights projected on their houses. The inflatables aren't always even Christmas things. I've seen robots, dogs, elephants, and pigs. 

It's alright though, I hope you're all keeping the most important part of Christmas in mind. I need to rely completely on Heavenly Father to get anything done(: Here's my favorite scripture of the week, when Jesus taught a lawyer the greatest commandment.

Matthew 22

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Love you all!
