Thanksgiving | Selfies with President

     

officially an old missionary

I went to the departing Arlington trip so I'm officially an old missionary! Arlington was a million times better than the White House experience last week. I'm so grateful for all the sisters I came out here with, we love each other so much! It was so fun to spend the day with them and take a picture together, all seven of us. We got to see John F. Kennedy's grave site, see the Lee house, and the best part - the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown solider. Sister Lewis was telling me that she had an institute teacher relate the changing of the guard to the sacrament once, talking about how seriously they take that ceremony and how we need to approach partaking of the sacrament with similar focus and sacredness. Something to think about for sure. We'll have to go to Arlington when we come back for a visit, I think Dad will really love it. 

FESTIVAL STARTS TOMORROW! Happy Christmas!! Tomorrow is Ambassador night and then the Diplomats come the following night. I got lucky and get to be a part of the reception both nights! I get to walk around with food plates and smile at all the awesome people from all over the world - winning!
