 This week was really productive for us.  Paul was in his new lab all week and learned a lot.  He is excited to do research in a topic that is more interesting to him. I also worked all week.  We have been working on being more productive in the evenings and I have a goal to practice music, sew, read, and study the scriptures.  I included a picture of some of my sewing from this week. The crazy thing that happened this week was that we experienced snow in Dallas! I was told that the last time it snowed was January of 2015.

We hope everyone that has COVID to feel better soon. Love you all!

Congrats to Ben on his mission call to Paris, France that he got on Tuesday.  We are very excited for him! Ben sent me a picture of the chocolate chip cookies he made for his friends coming over to hear him announce his call.  I put it up on Instagram with the recipe and I had several people reach out to me to tell me they were excited about the cookie recipe.  I haven't really had that much excitement before so I got excited and got a phone mount from Walmart and made a video of how to make the cookies and posted it.  I got a lot of good reception, so I will probably do a lot more videos instead of just posting pictures, which adds a new element and is really fun.  Since the wards combined I've met a few new people in the ward and Sunday night we hung out with a couple in the ward that have a 10 month old.  They are really sweet and fun and we're glad we're finally able to start making connections in the ward.  I also got a calling today, I ...

 Monday was my replacements first day.  We filed a PCT application.  I made tacos for dinner.  Tuesday I went in to work and had a lot to do, so I was setting up my replacement, Kaylee, with another PCT application, since she had done one yesterday.  I guess I overwhelmed her because she started crying.  I told her that she didn't have to work on the PCT if it was too much.  She ended up just shadowing me until 3 PM.  Then I passed her off to one of my coworkers to learn how to send letters to clients so I could get going on a report Scott needed done.  Paul worked until 9 PM, so I just made myself a grilled cheese and some tomato soup for dinner.  Dr. Nam was going to throw a Christmas party this year but somebody sniched and the department told her she couldn't do that.  That made Paul and me sad.  Wednesday I got to work a little early because we got our carpets cleaned.  Kaylee worked with my other coworker, Robert, al...

We did well with our goals this week and were productive at work and school.  We had a lazy weekend.  We attended Stake Conference through zoom and our favorite talks were the recent converts who spoke during the Saturday General Session.  Their stories were heartfelt and their testimonies communicated the Spirit powerfully.  The first speaker was especially good.  He was a young man from France and his father was Muslim and his mother was catholic but he did not grow up going to church.  They moved to the U.S. when he was a teenager and he moved to Texas as an adult.  His parents got a divorce and that made him want a change in his life.  His cousin also lived in Dallas and is a member of our church and he invited him to come to church with him.  The recent convert suddenly experienced serious health issues and had to stay home a lot.  He read the Book of Mormon and received many priesthood blessings for his health.  He w...
