Squirrels!

Harold is not a rat. Found a pile of acorns in the corner of the laundry room. Don't think rats do that. And I think we found how he gets in. On the door there's a rubber thing that's supposed to seal it off, but a side of it has a hole. We're hoping to get it replaced soon before Harold could gather the acorns again and stache them in the laundry room. And yes, the acorns pretty much confirmed his existence, so he is getting evicted. He can live in the tree right outside our balcony instead. 


Most everyone in the district caught some kind of bug. Its nothing major enough to justify not working but it's enough to make everyone miserable. Sister Martinsen got sick the first part of the week and I did the second. I tried to say hi to the Elders in the parking lot on sunday and it sounded like a demon or something was stuck in my throat. Yeah it wasn't great. Being sick on a mission is terrible I've decided. 


Well, we had another couple of lessons with William and Anthony. It was fantastic! They are so ready for their baptism which is on the 2nd. They picked who they wanted to do what at their baptism and everything! It was truly a blessing to me that I was a helping hand in their conversion. Its coming along smoothly, and we're so excited for them. 


Some of you missed the horses this week but I'm running out of ideas on what to write about them. We really do routine work. Muck stalls, groom and saddle them up and clean equipment. I decided I'll start telling you all about the horses themselves. The horse I took a picture with this week's name is Wiz. Really goofy but really friendly. Every time you go up to her she expects treats and acts like she's going to take something out of your hands even if there's nothing there. Silly girl.


I went on Exchanges on Tuesday again. Perks of having a STL companion. I went with Sister Anderson this week. We did family history work in preparation for our temple trip in a week and a half. We are all so excited for it. We also ate some delitious doughnuts from Sugar Box across the street from the church. It was a good day. 


I think that's pretty much everything for this week. Let me know If there's anyone else who wants to be on this list that isn't, so I can add them and they won't be left out. Adieu for now!

More At The Temple Open House!!

Image
Hello everyone! I’m back again with another email. I’m sending this on time today! Woohoo!! This one’s going to be short but I think it is something I should share nevertheless.  Open House!  I’ve really enjoyed my time at the Red Cliffs Temple so far. I get to help these people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to walk around the temple at all. It makes me feel like I have an important job even though most of the time I just write numbers on a clipboard. I got to take a few people in myself and I love how they become silent in reverent wonder at the beauty of it all. It really tells me that the spirit is definitely there and I can feel it too!  Pushing Grandpa I helped Grandpa Reynolds in a wheelchair. I’m not a jerk I swear. XD That was a fun experience that I was able to look at it with my family. I’ve been through the tour a bunch of times but It’s different when you’re with your family. Even my little brothers were using inside voices! I didn’t know they knew what that ...

I Love Conference

Image
Hi! As I’m sure you know, General Conference was this weekend. I’ve been so excited about it and it certainly didn't disappoint. Everyone did an excellent job and the spirit was present. I loved them all. I really need to look back and study them again. I forgot who did what ones but there was a couple I really liked in the Saturday sessions about being peacemakers. How despite the world around us we can still show the love of god. Actually, I think one of them was from Elder Oaks. He did fantastic.  I also loved that Brad Wilcox spoke this afternoon. He is one of my favorite speakers. He also did one of the most listened to BYU devotionals ‘his grace is sufficient’. It’s so good and so was the talk he did today. I love how he said you can’t be a lifeguard if you look like all the other swimmers. Inspiring.  I’d like to share a little tender mercy that was a couple of weeks ago. I was going to the temple with my district in the St George temple. We were doing an endowment ...

Hi Again Everyone!

Image
I am back at it again this week! With yet another email. I know it’s late, but I almost forgot and I was saved by Mom threatening to beat me with a wet noodle. So I didn’t forget and as I’m writing this I’m keeping an eye on all the pasta. And Mom. She’s looking at me very ominously across the table.  Zone Conference!  As I mentioned last week, I had Zone Conference! On Monday we met at basically in the same time and same place as District Council, but it was longer and with more people. I can now say I have officially met my new Mission president! President Staples and his wife are sweet. I got a picture with them.  Temple Trips! And no, not just to the Red Cliffs one. Me and my Companion Sister Amy did some Initiatories in the newly Re-dedicated St. George temple. They remodeled it like they had it originally in the pioneer days, and they used rich colors and beautiful curtains. I love it! After we did the ordinances a temple worker asked us if we’d like to see the sea...
