So,
this week has been full of physical work and emotional roller coasters, but that’s
how missions go, right? :)
MON: we went golfing,
which was definitely interesting because I’ve never even hit a ball with a club
before... except on the wii... :) I think the most fun part of the whole day
was getting to drive around in the golf cart... dream come true, seriously! :) We
had a lesson with a LA family we've starting to work with, the O*'s and it went
well :)
TUE: we made visits,
and had a lesson with the v*! it was mostly for the kids, so we acted out the
plan of salvation for them, which was hilarious... :) but like I said, this
week was FULL of physical work, which started Tuesday night: Sister lambert
texted and asked if we could help unload a U-Haul, of course we said yes! We
unloaded a whole huge U-Haul with help from the other Sisters and some Elders. Lots
of fun! Wed we met with the other YSA Sisters and got some of their info, and
did MORE service: we laid SOD. SO MUCH FUN! Hard, dirty, sweaty, HOT work, but
it still was a blast. I wonder if I’m allergic to grass actually... oh well! :)
THU: we did more
service! Sister Lambert texted in the morning and asked if we could help with
another U-Haul, and more hard fun hot WORK! :) I think I said many times this
week, "I’m gonna be so ripped by the end of the week! :P" haha and I’m
super tan too, maybe not quite as much as Alex, but there is a white line
across my wrist where my watch is :P We also had our scripture class and
another lesson with H*, which was interesting. Basically what it was was her
wanting to bible bash and tell us we were wrong, she was not open minded or
really genuinely wanting to know. Next day we got a text that basically with
her dropping us, which I was very prepared for. OH well, time wasn't right and
she still has great member friends :)
FRI: District meeting,
planning, lesson with e*. I had a KILLER headache, to the point of nausea, and
it was sucky. But it went away right about mid dinner (they also took a pic of
me and sent it home hope you got it!)
SAT: guess what we
did?! MORE SERVICE!!! :D haha oh yes. 8am we were shoveling rocks for
about 2 1/2 hours in Tooele with Sisters Tew and Wright-Carrutthers (who is
actually from Sister Latham’s stake :P) and then we got coldstones, then
weeding for another hour! I just love service, and it was good to know I was
working hard, because someone commented to me as I was pushing a wheelbarrow
full of rocks, "you must have helped you dad a lot in the yard". erm,
not really... we didn't do much with our yard besides water and put toys away
:P haha but I definitely was working HARD! And no, I am NOT burnt :P we also
did correlations, saw D* (who got a calling on Sunday!!) and slept :)
SUN: another fun day!
of course Sunday is always fun :P we went to mission prep at 7:30,
Lakepoint ward where we had an investigator and his LA girlfriend come for the
first time (yay!), lunch (I made pasta! love cooking!) then... first day of the
YSA WARD! It was great, callings made, sis Bennett and I did the music in
sacrament meeting (I lead the music, she played piano), and the turnout was
GREAT! haha and guess who was called to be the Elders Quorum president? Oh yes.
None other than Rhett Steadman! (for those who don't know, he served part of
his mission in the Anacortes Ward at home :P) he commented that he worked with
mom fairly often (or would just call- for some reason, I think he really liked
our family ;P haha) small world in the gospel :) we had dinner with Sister Vickars
(stake RS president) and it was just a good day!
We’re working on
teaching more lessons, I love the work and the people! Live laugh love, live
long and prosper, allonsy, all that good jazz! :) have a great week! ♥
