This week was good. Paul was able to focus on his coursework more this week since he finished his lab rotation last week. He will be done this next week and able to relax until after Christmas when he starts his new rotation. Work has been good. One of my coworkers is out, so I have been a lot busier, picking up some of her tasks that are due. It has been a great learning experience.  Saturday we got together with my ministering sister and her husband. Her husband has lived in Texas for 7 years and loves it here, so he was excited to tell us all the fun things to do here. We went to Grapevine, TX to see Christmas lights. It was about 15 minutes away and really cute. We're excited to hang out with them more. Congratulations to Matt and Hannah on welcoming a healthy baby girl into their family on Wednesday. We're very excited for them. Happy birthday to Dad and James this coming week. Love you all!

This week was really good. It was a fast week at work and it was Paul's last week of rotations for this semester. We celebrated on Friday by getting pizza from Grimaldi's. Saturday we did some shopping at the mall looking for gifts for my coworkers. The mall down the street from us has the largest indoor Christmas tree in the country.  Pretty crazy! Sunday we went to a choir concert and we were impressed by the talent of the performers. It was in a baptist church but it didn't get too much for us until the last song haha. We wanted to make sure we went to a Christmas Choir performance as it is one of our favorite traditions.

  This week was a lot of fun but it was busy meeting deadlines at work and getting stockings mailed in the first half of the week. Paul went into lab every day this week except for Thanksgiving. He's feeling very motivated to work on his project. Thanksgiving day we cooked up our little dinner and put up Christmas decorations while watching movies. Later that night we played games through zoom with the Roberts. Sunday, Paul and I spoke in church. It was good because we had a few members come introduce themselves to us, text us, and my ministering sister came over during the Christensen zoom call to deliver cookies and introduce herself. I am excited to make friends at church.  We hope you all had a good Thanksgiving. Love you! My talk from Sunday: Good morning brothers and sisters.  My name is Sarah Roberts.  My husband, Paul, and I recently moved to Dallas over the summer.  We are originally from Salt Lake City, Utah where we both grew up but we did not meet until after our missio
