Christmas trees

I got the package with the stocking and the Christmas presents this week and Sister Ericsen's family sent us a live Christmas tree. 

The temperature around here has been jumping around as well.  Only it ranges from low 60s to slightly below freezing.  My coat is nice and warm.  I was the only one who wasn't freezing during the Christmas parade.  The fact that I was warring tights and leggings might have also helped.
My hand is still hurting but other than that I'm doing good.  We're teaching one investigator that is planning on being baptized in January!!  Her boyfriend is a member and we've been teaching them together.  
So far our plans for Christmas are church, lunch, more church, visit some of the ward members, have dinner and Skype. Our dinner appointment hasn't gotten back to us on whether or not we're skyping at their house or not so we have  two people lined up as backups.  It also means we don't know what time we will be skyping at.  It will be in the evening though.  
  The ward party for Summer grove was this week; they did it polar express themed and the young women did the hot chocolate dance.  It was impressive.  We also went to the stake Christmas fireside.  They sang Christmas songs and read scriptures that went along with the song.  
Tracting it depends on how far apart the houses are and how many people talk to us.  I'm still not driving, we have someone else over cars now so I'll see if I can talk to him about it.  You, Dad, Grandma Clark, Grandma and Grandpa Bender, and other missionaries are the only people that email me.  Ruth Little and little buckaroos sent me Christmas cards and the young women sent me a poster at the beginning of my mission.  
 Well my times up.
Love you,
Sister Clark

Christmas parade

I got my meds refilled a few weeks ago.  Sorry I forgot to write that earlier.  Thank you for  the packages.  I got the City Harbor album and the prismacolor pencils.  

I've been having slight pain in my right hand and wrist that flairs up when I do a lot with it.  I thought I was just crocheting to much but it hasn't been going away and it's starting to hurt when I write now.  We think I hurt it in my bike crash and just didn't notice it until now.  We're going to have it checked out as soon as missionary medical approves it.  

On a happier note, we were in the Christmas parade and the ward float won first place for the church division. We handed out light the world cards with candy canes taped to them and 2 Books of Mormon.  It was a lot of fun. 

Love you

Light up the world

We have a Christmas tree  that a member is letting us use. I crocheted the star for it. The other picture is of me helping decorate the bishops house.  I'll write a letter when I get home so I have more time to think.  We're still trying to figure out a time to Skype, we have a family that signed up to have us over but I think they forgot that our families are in a different time zone.  We're going to see if we can Skype in the evening.  I let you know when we figure things out.  I've had bad days but I've also had a lot of help from The Lord.  For example this Saturday was rough but one of the LIGHTtheWORLD things for that day was to point out a virtue in others that they don't see in themselves.  So we ended the day by writing sticky notes to each other with all are positive atrabutes.  It was a lot of fun.  Today we're decorating the mission home for Christmas so that'll be fun to.  For the Book of Mormon I was planning on it being for me in one book, but it would be cool to have them to give away too.  Love you
