AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! ONLY 3 WEEKS LEFT!!!!!!! Now I am starting to freak out... I have to train the new nurse to nurse stuff, insurance stuff, ward stuff, area stuff, and other stuff all in 3 weeks! And she is not even a nurse! She is an English Major at BYU... Never had nurse training or wanted to have nurse training in her life... But lucky her! Cause she is getting nurse training! :)

My new companion is Hermana Castleton from Mesa, Arizona. She is awesome. She came with Hermana Gividen, so she just finished her training as well. But she speaks ridiculously awesome Spanish already... I think I stunted Hermana Gividen's Spanish by speaking too much English with her... My bad. ;) And maybe now I will poison Hermana Castleton's awesome Spanish by speaking too much English with her... Oh well.

We already had two hospital trips - just to train the new nurse, ya know. And we found another mountain of Insurance Claims to fill out and submit, so that should be fun. I figure if we spend hours and hours doing insurance claims together, she will be pretty good at them by the time I leave.. :) So I saved her lots. Plus the stolen flash drive didn't help....

We went and saw Delmer again.. Still as awesome as ever. He read 1st and 2nd Nephi in one week! And now he is working on Alma... That should keep him busy. He is only 13. But he loves to read and he loves to learn about the Gospel. He told us he didn't even know another book of scripture existed, but he is so happy to have it now! He didn't even question us if it was real. I love the faith and trust that the youth have... Pure, simple, and ready to learn more always.

We went Christmas shopping yesterday..... That was a bad idea... I bought cool stuff. But probably more stuff for me than for other people... I will probably repent and go buy cooler stuff for other people next week. :)

Well it is almost Christmas and I am pretty excited! :) Everyone is already starting to feel the Christmas Spirit and are being nicer and more open! We are ready for some Christmas miracles and helping people remember the true meaning of Christmas! :)

Stay safe and happy and healthy! I love you all!

Love,

Hermana Markle. :)

Goodbyes to Yoana for Gividen and Martinez!

My new companion! She is the best! :)

Changes week!

We made tamales!!! I feel so cool now!!! :) And they didn't taste half bad. :)

Stockings a member made for us! They love us! But they won't give them to us until Christmas....
