Hello family!!
Thanksgiving was so fun! Okayy we had like two dinners, one traditional (sooo yummy!!) and one mexican! it was perfect! We had a huge soccer tournament with our branch on Thanksgiving. It was so funny to watch all of the missionaries play against mexicans. We totally lost! Haha they started putting in all the little kids and we were finally able to make a goal or two. Oh my goodness. Funniest thing ever! haha! Anyways we really enjoyed the day! I was thinking of you on Friday! Why the heck didnt you go!? Its our tradition! I better have people coming with me next year (Mom!! Because you are super funny on Black Friday :) and we started the tradition!!) Anyways it is now officially Christmas time! Have you all seen the He is the Gift video yet? Our mission is trying to show that video to as many people as possible! It is so cool. A lot of people are letting us in and the spirit is so strong. I love this time of year. It is so special.
This week has been pretty hectic! We had interviews with President and Sister Alba. They both helped me so much this go around. I have been so stressed out this transfer with white washing and everything. When I walked into my interview with Sister Alba she just told me to tell her everything, so i did! At the end she just took my hands and she looked at me and said, "I am taking all of your stress. Give it all to me" I just started crying! It was such a good interview! She told me that if I ever feel stressed again to just give her a call and that she will take my stress away again. She is so sweet. President Alba also offered me some good advice as well. He reminded me to only enjoy the work especially around this time of year :). Ever since interviews I have laughed a lot more and I have really just enjoyed the people I serve and the other missionaries that we work with here in Novato.
On Thursday and Friday our mission is going on a "fast" from driving because there has been too many accidents lately and missionaries have gone way over on their miles. I have a lot to do with that. I was the latest to get into a car wreck and we were over on miles for November. Haha..ya. My companion became designated driver now haha and she is..a good driver.. haha. Hopefully we dont get our car taken away from us! #pleaseprayforus. #seriously.
Today we want to go see a lighthouse! I am super excited for that. Wednesday we get to blitz the golden gate bridge!! I cannot wait for that!
I am glad you had a good Thanksgiving! It was a special day for sure. I need to just run for the rest of my life to get back into shape! :) I love you all and I hope you know how much I am grateful for each of you! You all are the best! Thank you for all of your love and support!! :) Love, Hermana Hamblin
