Week 27

Hey everyone!! This week has been going really well!!

 

Sister Christensen and I are having a TON of fun together. We had a lot of meetings this week, all of which were really awesome and uplifting. During the day we spend a lot of time doing service. We've helped with farming, gardening, grooming horses and all sorts of things!! It's definitely been a lot of fun.

 

This week we put a family of 5 on date for baptism!! It was so awesome!! In the lesson we talked about the holy ghost a lot and how it feels like a warm blanket. In the closing prayer the little boy said, "...and thank you so much heavenly father!! I am so excited to be baptized together with my family!!!". I'm really excited for them. They each have the desire to come to church and go to all of the activities and stuff. One of the other little boys has a hearing problem and he isn't supposed to get his ear wet. We aren't sure how we are going to work around that, but I'm sure we will find some way to do it!!!:)

 

oh also....this is random buuuut....did you know taco bell now serves breakfast!?!? SO GOOD. Another random thing is we recently found out that pitted dates wrapped in bacon is YUMMY! odd combo, right??

 

On Friday we had a half mission conference and we were told to bring a shirt that we could ruin. They would not tell any of us what it was for. We got there and we had a really spiritual meeting and talked about becoming consecrated. at the very end of the meeting we  found out what the shirts were for. We "rent our clothes" and wrote our names on half of it, as a pledge to be consecrated missionaries. It was pretty cool.

 

We had the opportunity to go to the nationals game as well!! That was SO MUCH FUN!! 2 missions were invited to come and so we got permission from the quorum of the 12 apostles to go!

 

Well, I believe that is it for the week!!! :) love you all.

WOMANN!!!! OHH mah goodness, thank you SOO much for the backcombing brush!!!! Goodness I have no idea how it got here by Monday, but that's pretty funny! lol its been working very nicely!!! I actually had a woman say...so...how do you get your hair to stay up so nicely?? Is it all just hair?? So I was like "hmm well let me just bring you into the world of back combing" ha ha

 

I still like sister Christensen a lot!! We think pretty alike so its really funny, sometimes we'll just be sitting in silence then all the sudden we will both start talking at the same time about the same topic. Same brain wave or something. Its funny!! we picked up some flarp last week. bahaha greats $1.50 ever! lol its provided all sorts of entertainment while we're sitting in the car.

 

Email to Mom:

Living with members is actually a ton of fun!! The other day they sat me down and had a missionary talk with me as the new sister and told me that I would be treated like their daughter and that if I need anything that I should tell them and that if anything happens then they would feel personally responsible. They also told me that if something happens with the environment that they take their food storage very seriously and that they have added us to the amount of stuff they would need, so they got enough to cover us.
