This morning I started off by going to visit teach Linda. Crystal has finals and wasn't able to let me come to her until next week. That's okay with me. I don't mind spending a few days visiting my friends. I committed myself to only staying 1/2 an hour. When the half hour mark came around it was not a good time to leave. Linda was sharing some things with me and I really needed to stay and listen. Then the spirit gave me some ideas of advice. I felt so good when I left. I always do. I love the ladies I visit! Today I took a caramel apple with the little quote from President Nelson. Linda sent me a picture later after she tried it...she liked it!
I met Mallory and Kathy for lunch at Applebee's. It's "our" place and we got seated at "our" table today. I got there first and was seated. Mallory came next and when she saw her gift that I brought her she asked me what it was. I smiled and told her it was her gift. She then asked me again what it was and I noticed that she was holding the same size of gifts. I told her it was a mug and she told me that so was hers. She got us Yetti's and I got her and Kathy Rtic's. They are the same but the Yetti is the original brand and costs a little more. Funny that we thought the same this year. I added their names to theirs and so now we all have two! ☺ Kathy gave us darling signs Angels can't be everywhere and that is why God gave us friends! These two are two of the best and I do consider them Angels as well as friends. Kathy had to leave for Young Women's and so Mallory and I chatted for while longer until I needed to leave. Man...I love these friends of mine!
I left Mal and went to meet Tammy and Judy for dinner. (I didn't eat much at either) We met at Good Wood and had a nice visit. I loved listening to Judy tell us about her cute missionary. A pastor's wife loves the missionaries and especially Judy's son. She adores him and takes such good care of him. She likes to do extra things for him and even bought him a new suit for Christmas. Elder Nauta doesn't even live in her area anymore and so this family travels to see him. It was really cool hearing all the stories. I had a great time visiting and exchanging gifts with my dear friends today. Again I couldn't help but think....(you know what's coming)....It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! I love that we make time to see the ones we love. Even if we can't meet up with everyone we love we take time to send a card or note. It's Great!
