Maayong hapon pamilya kag mga abyan!
This past week was awesome! We had Christmas conference and I took a bunch of pics and vids which will all be below 😊
[That was her first time eating Jollibee!
Love you Sis. Gonzales!]
Just one thing besides Christmas conference that I would like to share was yesterday night after Sister Gonzales had just got home from being out, there were children that were Christmas caroling and it was the cutest thing ever. We sat out for about 10 minutes just listening to them sing Christmas songs in English and Tagalog! We told them to stay where they were so that we can go in the house and get a treat for them. Pero within a few minutes they followed us to the door and they sang to us at our door. It was the cutest thing ever! But wait - it gets even better! So Sister Gonzales and I were eating and then we notice more kids caroling outside and we though it was the same kids but it's a different group of kids na. So anyways we were just eating and they call Sister Gonzales from the outside and so we head out and we just talked to them and stuff and they also sang for us. We gave them some treats and in return, they gave us bracelets! It literally made my whole day and it made Sister Gonzales and I so so so so happy. We couldn't even describe how happy we felt. It's not about the gift but it was just about how thoughtful they were and how willing they were to share!

Next week is Christmas everyone kag gusto ko lang to say that Christmas definitely is more about giving than receiving. As we give with love, the recipient of our gifts will really feel the thoughtfulness - I know Sister Gonzales and I truly felt that from the girls that gave us the bracelets.
[Got a cute present from my stake back home! Thank you!]
Anyways I hope all of you enjoy eating a lot and spending time with your family! Take care always!
