Dear Family and Loved Ones,
This week was a pretty good week!! It was full of some interesting things :)
Monday - It was P-day!! It was also Sister Bullen's birthday, so we went shopping :) She got some new clothes, and so did I! It is nice to have new clothes, after a year you tend to need some new ones. So I got a few things, and will be able to last the rest of my mission, and later! It is nice :) We also went to a members home for a Family Home Evening, and our second dinner. :) It was a lot of fun. We celebrated Sister Bullen's birthday with them, and just had a good time. We played this game called Bluff. It is like balderdash, and was a lot of fun! Definitely some laughs were in it :)
Tuesday - We had our first district meeting. It is really different. My entire district is in the same ward. There are 3 sets of missionaries here!! How crazy is that?!? It is fun too :) It does mean some coordinating, but we are doing really well with that. It has been exciting to get things done :) We had a Relief Society Pool party, so we sat on the side of the pool, away form the water, while the sisters sat there with there feet in, and they swam. It was fun. I was able to meet a lot of the sisters that I didn't know, so it was really good :) We also helped a less active member paint her toddlers bed today :) We were changing it from white to pink :) it was fun :) We have also picked up a new investigator!! Her name is Destiny, and she is 14. She is such a sweetheart!! We met her, because her sister is a convert. She got baptized in Riverside at her Aunts house a couple of months ago. She decided that she wanted Destiny to be baptized, so we have been meeting with her! It has been exciting. She is quiet, but amazing!! Teaching her is amazing!!
Wednesday - We did a lot of service!! We helped one of our ward members who was sick clean her kitchen and then we helped one of our investigators move! It was a ton of work, but so much fun!! I actually like helping people move. I am pretty good at it, if I do say so myself :) It is fun :)
Thursday - We did more service!! We were only going to stay for a little bit, but they ended up needing more help. We were still helping our investigator move from one home to another. We had to do that, then our phone broke, so we had to go to Highland to get a new one. It is going to be really different when I am not able to go to the office and just get a new phone. That is gonna have to take some getting used too... After that, we went back to help move, then had dinner, taught Destiny again, and just had a good time! Tonight we had a funny moment. Sister Bullen was showing me that when you put whipped cream in you hand, you have then throw the whipped cream in the air by make a lifting motion, then stopping one arm at the elbow or the arm with the whipped cream in it, then it goes in the air, and you can catch it with your mouth... if you can... It was so much fun!!! She was funny to watch. You can end up getting it all over your face if you don't catch it. :) It was funny. I said I would do it, just not then.... It was a good day :)
Friday - We did more service!! We helped one of our members organize her book closet, it was fun. :) I liked seeing all the books that she had, that I used to read/get read to when I was little. It brought back a lot of memories :) That was fun :) Then we did our weekly planning!! Yay!! It was good to get that done. I was also able to try the whip cream thing :) it was so much fun!! The first couple of times I missed and caught it with my hand, the 3rd time I accidentally threw it too hard, so it got on the ceiling.. Luckily the apartment has short ceilings :) I did clean it up. I used disinfectant wipes too :) so it is all good. Then the 4th time I caught it!! It was so fun!! I enjoyed it a lot :) We have it on video too :)
Saturday - More service!! We helped one of our members unpack some of their boxes. They had a huge flood in their kitchen, so we helped them get things back to where they were supposed to go. It was fun :) I got to know them a lot better :)
Sunday - Church!! YAY!! It was so good!! I enjoy so many things about church :) It is always nice to partake of the sacrament :)
So, this week was full of service!! It was so much fun too!!
I hope you all have a wonderful week!! I love you all so much!!!
