I hope each of you had a wonderful Christmas. I sure did. We spent the day with some of our favorite families. We got to sleep until 8:00!!! We had a crepe and waffle breakfast at the Evans with Justin and Hayleigh, spent some time playing games with some of our friends from the first ward, Skyped our sweet families, ate lunch at the Petersen's, stopped by the Saunders, then ended the day with dinner and games at the Raisor's. It was so merry and wonderful. There was zero snow, but in my heart it was a beautiful white Christmas. I am just so happy, and so loved and so blessed.
Things are going well for us otherwise. Justin and Hayleigh are doing well. They are reading praying, and working on getting married. Hayleigh received a really incredible answer to prayer, just after our lesson on Monday, during which she had expressed genuine frustration about not receiving answers to her prayers. It was really incredible. There are some things standing in their way, but I know that with faith and action, they will be able to overcome the stumbling blocks that satan has placed in their path.
Please pray for them, that they will be able to get married and be baptized as soon as possible. We are still shooting for the 10th of January.
It is so strange to be at the end of my mission. I love it so much.
I also love all of you, my sweet family and friends. It won't be long until I am home and can se and hug all of you!
Have a wonderful week and New Year celebration.
All my love,
Sister Alex Monroe
Sister Boone (aka Sharon- she's been home for two months) sent me this. So many inside jokes.
I love her. I laughed so hard I cried when I opened it.
Justin and Hayleigh made us this candy santa sleigh. So cool and cute and delicious!
My Christmas morning gifts. I felt so loved. Thank you to the various angels
who sent me things. Not pictured is a really cute scarf/cowl and snowflake
headband that Abby sent me. (I was wearing them. Haha.)
This picture was taken at the Petersens. Merry Christmas!
That's mama Petersen. She's not looking. :)
We spent the the evening with the Raisors. When we got there and walked into the kitchen, baby Robby (aka icepawn) was fast asleep like this on the kitchen counter. Isn't he so cute?
