HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Sister Reynolds, Sister Espinoza It snowed for  Christmas 

 I hope you all had Amazing holidays!! i just love you all so much!! Everything here was great and it was so good talking with the family and spending time with the ward members here!! 

Christmas eve it started SNOWING!!!! We went to the smiths House in Mill Pond ward and we had some super yummy stir fry and then we made ginger bread houses!! We also had a chocolate fondue party thing! They are so kind! They really made sister Espinoza and I feel loved. Christmas day we went to breakfast at a white river ward member’s home. It was STILL snowing and the roads were super slick. It took us a while to get out of our apartment because we are down  a hill so getting up was brutal but the company and food was worth it :) haha! Later that day we went to the Paulsen’s to skype and have dinner!! We had smoked ribs and they were SO GOOD! They also made super good salad and homemade pies! Overall it was a good day!

The Poulsens girls wanted to give us a
Christmas gift so they did pedicures for us!
 it was super cute

 New Years Eve was fun as well! We were at church for meetings at 8:30 and we didn’t get out till 4pm. it’s always a good day when you’re at church all day! haha two wards is a bit crazy but i love the people and working in the areas! We went to the Kendall family's house for New Years Eve! They have little kiddos and another family came over! The kids wanted us to play hide and seek with them so of course we played! Sister Espinoza and I were hiding in the closet right by the kitchen, the parents saw us go in there. We waited for quite some time and the kids never came to us. So we kept trying to hold back laughs as we were whispering about what would happen if we scared someone. All of a sudden the doors fly open and Brother Kendall yells and jumps backwards! He had forgotten we were there and goodness we scared him real bad!! We were laughing so hard we were all crying! It was so funny and it took us all a while to come down from that one! haha! It was a fun night though!

 Anyway, it has all been good here. We are preparing for our investigator Zach's baptism on February 10th. We are going to the temple and the family history discovery center on Friday with him so that will be fun!! He is learning a lot and i am so thankful that I have been able to be apart of his life!!

 I encourage you all to think about where you are in the gospel. I have been thinking about my testimony a lot and where i am and where I want to be with it. I invite you all to do the same! A new year is a great way to start fresh, wherever we are or where we have been. The Atonement is our and we should use it to become our best selves possible! i love you all so much! Have a good week!
