December 28, 2015 Christmas Time Was Here

HEY EVERYONE!!! I hope yall had a fab Christmas and got everything you asked from Santa. Good ole Saint Nick always pulls through with some sweet stuff. This year he got me an electric blanket #hallelujah, a bunch of sweet beats, date candy #yum, some cute scarves, an ASU shirt, and some other awesome stuff. I have been very nice this year so I deserve it. My favorite present for sure was talking to the fam and bffs. It got me way pumped to go out and keep preaching the gospel so that people can be with their families forever too! ITS GREAT! 

Look at the BOUNTY:

I also took this really artsy pic of me in an ornament. Send it to national geographic or something for me. thnx.

As for what we did on Christmas: 

On Christmas eve the Cook family in our ward took us out to deliver secret packages of food and presents to some people. We have an investigator who is really struggling so we dropped off a box at her house. Her boys love star wars and wanted the new movie which is impossible to buy yet but the cooks got a pre order thing where they can go get the movie when it actually come out on DVD. We knocked on the door and ran and the boys came out and saw the movie on top and yelled "STAR WARS!!!!!" they freaked out and the mom yelled out " THANK YOU SO MUCH!!" It was such a great way of spending my Christmas eve by serving others and making them happy. It was way fun. Here's the Cook fam:

Got my sweet Christmas PJs and I LOVE THEM. Home squirrel mamma hooked it up:

We also got to go way out in the middle of nowhere the other day. We took some cute/ artsy/ dramatic pics. 

Call me Houdini:

I also got to make the traditional family classic breakfast: Bran Muffins! We didn't have Baking soda so they turned out like rocks.. still fun though.

This is Tamara! She is so so cute and I love her! She is our ward mission leader's daughter and she will be baptized as soon as her adoption is finalized! We are excited and so is she!

Emilie is a girl in our ward who just sent mission papers to HQ (Salt Lake). We teach mission prep class every Sunday night and she is so ready for a mission. I love her. She will change some lives.

This Christmas was way different than any Christmas that I have ever had but it was the first Christmas where literally nothing was about me or the presents or the food really. I am so grateful that I have been able to experience that. I love the Lord, my mission, and all of you!! Have another fab week!

Love,

Sister Kris Kringlenacher

December 21, 2015 Mount Vernon Burnin

This little squirrel just got transferred real good! I'm in Mount Vernon now in the Mount Vernon 1st ward! My new compie is Sister West! She was actually in the MTC with Sister Thompson! She is way sweet and we get along well so no worries there! Phew! 

Here's the lil beauty:

So about Mount Vernon. This place is a little more populated for sure. There is a lot more street contacting which is great. Nobody was ever outside in Arlington. 

Although my new area and comp are great and I should have nothing to complain about, I MISS ARLINGTON. I miss it a lot. Its been one week but man I miss it and Sister Thompson. We had a pretty dramatic goodbye. Lots of tears and sadness. BUT HEY, I will learn a lot here and I will meet a lot of great people!!

My last few days in Arlington were great though!! My district went to a lame ice cream shop and we got Ice cream sundaes! woo!

I got a picture with Bishop Nichol's and fam. I love them. Such a great family.

I ALSO GOT TO TEACH MY FAVORITE BAPTIZEES!! It was a great way to end my last day in Arlington. Good stuff is ahead though.

Today was the Christmas conference and I got to see Sister Packer!!

Also had a dramatic reunion with sister Thompson and we took an awkward prom pic.

SISTER BONHAM!!!!!

I got to sing Oh Holy Night at the Conference today which was way fun. Im sorry this weeks email is lame but I WILL BE SEEING MY FAMILY ON FRIDAY!!!! Theres not much to say. SEND LETTERS. okay. LOVE YOU ALL BYE!!!

Love,
