MERRY CHRISTMAS&HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM SISTER WANKIER🎄🎄

 happy pday y'all 

well I've missed more weeks again haha that's my bad!! just seem to be having too much fun!! 

the past few weeks we have had some really profound lessons. my life has been ultimately changed because of some of these adorable friends. our lessons have been so much fun and so spirit filled it's such a good feeling to get to have the spirit of God so present in the room. 

we have had SOME CRAZY good meals!! amazing steak homemade tamales!! the best burrito EVER  !! and some of the best desserts!! 

this week we got transfer news. me and sister owens get to stay together for another 6 weeks here in cypress. and we got a car haha i am offically back to Brad (our car) and off the bike BUT no fear me and Josh (my bike) will bike again!! haha can't keep us apart for long!! 

Christmas was awesome!! we had the best time playing games at our favorite families house. and had the best steak and Santa popped into their home for us!! they got me a pink Book of Mormon and sister owens a general conference journal edition. it was awesome little presents!! they are THE BEST!! before dinner we sang in the ward choir and that was a very enjoyable time haha we than opened presents with the stls and loved watching each other get their presents. I got a BIG BLANKET haha it's been the perfect addition to my already over packed life haha and a stanley!! haha that was the best present for sure!! sorry this is jumping but once we finished our steak dinner with taco-goat-cat-cheese-pizza haha we had a blast i will show you the pictrues here soon haha we than went to another dinner at Maggie's home!! she invited us and we got to have some very sweet chats with her and her sister and her daughter!! it was a very good time with them. bucho was THE BEST he is the sweetest little grandpa out here. he told me I will forever be apart of their family. our Christmas card is hanging in their room!! it's THE CUTEST little family ever!! 

for new years eve we ended back up at the fears house. we played color brain which is MY FAV GAME!! and a funny spy game. we had a blast with then and coming home early haha it's literally a firework show in texas on New years haha everyone is lighting fireworks starting at 6pm and ending at 2 am. it's crazy awesome!! we ended up sitting on the porch watching them. we also called our adorable stls. haha they are literally the best!! we talked for awhile. we than staying up Journaling and doing puzzles tell midnight and than once it said 12 we said a happy new years to each other. said our prayers and were OUT haha new years day we ended up at Sylvia's home celebrating with some sparking cider!! fun games!! and some dinner!! 

in between Christmas and new years we had a grind of a week. we have invited Cai to be baptized!! blaire to be baptized!! and Cheryl to be baptized!! each one eagerly accepted!! THEY ARE AMAZING!! we are also spending a great deal of time with our members which is exciting. we are meeting some members who have almost gotten lost down the cracks and it's been really cool to be led by the spirit to find them

I love y'all!! I'm so very thankful for all y'all have done to make 2022 one of the best years of my life. thank you for the support and texts and messages and comments!! y'all truly are incredible. i miss y'all and can't wait to see y'all in 2023
