Hi my loved ones! I hope you all had a great Christmas with all the people that you love :) Here we had a great such a great week!
We spent Tuesday and Wednesday night with the Elders and other Sisters in the branch passing our presents. I don't know if I told you but a member bought present like toys and clothes for all the children and youth of the ward. So the last two week we 6 missionaries have helped to wrap the presents and got to pass them out. It was so fun and as we passed them out we sang Christmas songs. We were able to visit almost all the members of the ward. They were so happy and thankful for the visit, the songs, and presents. It was a really great experience :)
On the 24th we had breakfast as a district at a member from another ward's house, it was fun. We had an exchange and we had lots of fun. Then we went to sing more and pass out more presents and we were able to go to Presidente Felix's house for a little bit. Their family from Utah was visiting . Then we went to eat with the Leites family from our ward! It was so nice. Sister Leites read the story of the birth of Christ that is found in John and we sang songs with the family and we talked about all the things that Christ has given us and that we can give.
On the 25th we had a District meeting and it was such a great meeting! Last Sunday during ward council, our Bishop shared that when the church was just starting, before they had manuals, they did things a little bit different. Before each meeting, they all sat in a circle and shared, one by one, their weaknesses and asked for help from the rest of the group. In this situation the Spirit can be there. So he wanted to try it at the meeting. And it was so cool!! Everyone shared something that they should stop doing or something that they could do better at, and it was a very spiritual meeting. So, our District Leader also did this in our meeting. It was a really special and moment and experience. It really helped us to feel united as a district and to help us love each other.
Then we got to call home, and it was really cool to be able to talk to my family :) Then we got to go spend some time with some members and eat with them. The members here love us so much and we really love them too!
Well, it is that time again for Transfers! I was sure that I was going to stay in Camarillo for my last Transfer because Hermana Brown is going home, but no! I will be transfering to Ventura to finish my mission there with Hermana Griffes! I am really sad to leave Camarillo but I am also really excited for what awaits me in Ventura. I know that it is for a reason that I need to be there and I am excited to find out why.
This is my new address:
1040 Seamist Pl. #103 Ventura, CA 93003
Well, family, I love you all so much! Hope you had a great Christmas, remember that this is a good time to change bad habits and be better. We don't have to wait for a new year to make new goals.

I love you all so much!
