Fantastic Christmastime

December was great. It was full of service and celebrations. I had the opportunity to be with friends and help others. I couldn't help but feel the importance of ministering to the one and being there for my family and friends and ministerees one by one. I feel some of my difficult experiences from 2019 have helped me to be more kind and understanding to others. It has been nice having Emmy visit and it was a relief to finish the first part of Eight grade for Celia. No more Latin, hopefully.  We have taken trips to the outdoors mainly in citrus heights looking for things,people and shopping. We have loved visiting Spence and taking him out. It was fun to decorate his duplex and bring a little light and spirit into his own home.  I am grateful for the attention and care he gets there. Joe is getting ready to ship off to Idaho and it is nice to know that it is a good thing to launch and we have had time to prepare and some much quality time together. Our family is tight and he will be missed, and I hope to have great reunions when its time. We are so blessed to have Brian and My folks in town.
