 "What shoes should I wear today" -Staheli 

"Well how snowy is it today"-Wilhite

"I only heard the snowplows go by once this morning"-Rex

Nick made me fried chicken this week to make me feel more at home lol. That same man bashed on us for an hour after we ate... at least he has some love in him! His wife Tammy, gave me a ballerina blanket she made. Which melted my heart because the first visit we ever had with her, I told her I liked ballet and she remembered! 

Judy surprised me with a huge bowl of popcorn on Christmas eve, she literally is an angel. We helped Judy in our ward prepare for the apocalypse! She has 7 years of toilet paper, ramen, food, and toiletries stacked up. Made us feel like we the world was ending and we needed to buy things to barter with to stay alive... hopefully times don't get that bad BUT if they did, we know where we are goin! 

Christmas Eve, me and Sister Staheli lit luminaries for our family members who have passed away. I lit one for my personal angel, Grandmother Rex. It helped me feel at home and loved even when I'm so far away from home. I wrote a song in her name called, "Grace".

We had Zone conference on Christmas Day which I was dreading but looking back I wouldn't have wanted to do anything besides have a full day of trainings on Jesus Christ. Me and the 3 other sisters walked into the stake center in our Christmas spirits with our Santa hats on. All the elders sat there stone faced dead quiet. We sat down and president came by told us he liked our hats, the proceeded to tell us to take them off. AWKO TACO. President King told me in our interview that I have changed a lot and that he is very proud of me!! So sweet. 

We went by Nadine's to give her a Christmas gift and her niece Minnie, came running to the door because she was SO excited to see us! Melted our hearts. We hope to begin teaching her soon if her mom allows. Her mother went from hating us, to inviting us in and talking with us. We love them big time. 

HEY EVERYBODY!! FiNd JoY iN eVeRy SiTuAtIoN GoD pUtS yOu In! StRiVe FoR pEaCe In ThE mIdSt oF tRiBuLaTiOn. 

I came out to Alaska to spread JOY and LIGHT to everyone I meet. I am learning to connect and be real with people through representing the son of God who suffered for the world. I came here for my Savior, Jesus Christ. This is not my work, but Gods work;) There is no place I'd rather be!

Don't forget to continue lighting the world,

Sister Rex
