Troy Family Tales: Bobby Pin Break-In

Hey yall!

Happy holidays friends and family! This week was crazy busy but chill at the same time.

We had zone conference on Tuesday which was basically a big Christmas party. We got to hear some talks on the birth of Christ and some awesome talent show acts. Plus we got some good food so that's always a plus.

To put it lightly, Covid has been running rampant through our community. We teach a lot of people in apartment complexes including independent living communities. Unfortunately we've had several friends pass away and many more in the hospital or in quarantine. Our Christmas party was canceled twice and church darn near was.

We had lots of opportunities to do service this week which was awesome. We helped a lady in our ward with some chores and sung at a bunch of different Christmas parties.

Then Christmas! Christmas eve was full of football, good food, and friends. Christmas day was crazy. I love to cook so I get to cook most of the meals for my comps and I but one of my comps insisted on making her famous quesadillas (which were crazy good btw). She walked away from the stove and literally said "I'll be gone for 2 seconds I'm sure nothing will happen". Not even 10 seconds later smoke was billowing in the kitchen and she had set a plate on fire haha. Then we got locked out of our apartment on Christmas. Don't worry though because then quesadilla companion picked the lock with a Bobby pin lol. A woman of many talents!

Miracles happen every day. 15 And now, O all ye that have imagined up unto yourselves a god who can do no miracles, I would ask of you, have all these things passed, of which I have spoken? Has the end come yet? Behold I say unto you, Nay; and God has not ceased to be a God of miracles. Mormon 9:15 in the Book of Mormon

Thanks to all who sent mail the last couple of weeks, you are too kind. Getting mail as a missionary is the BEST. I appreciate each of you taking the time to send love and support. Sending lots of prayers and love to each of you.

Jesus loves you.
