Tollhouse Cookie Dough Rocks

Hi again! Thanks for checking in. Im still alive and I'm still in California. Y'all, it's expensive here. I was at Walmart a while ago and I saw a bag of chicken nuggets that was 20 dollars! Found one that was cheaper though, luckily but I saw that price tag and my mind was blown. I dont know how anyone affords anything here, especially a house. Some of them here in Newbury park are beyond what I'll probably make in a lifetime. 


So, I'll get to what you all have been waiting for. William and Anthony's baptism was lovely. So lovely. A lot of people from all over the stake came to it, there was amazing talks, me and Sister Martinsen made cookies and it was overall just great! Anthony said our cookies were even better than Crumbl! Guess our title as the cookie fairies still stands. Thank you pre-made tollhouse cookie dough. 


They were given the gift of the Holy ghost the next day and it was so special. Sunday was just so cool. I've decided I love Ward Council. We don't always go but when we do we get the fill on everything! A lot of ideas on what we should do and where we should go, and to also help our new, old, and inactive members. We also got more gossip from the members at the break the fast they had later that afternoon. They had some great food. 


Well, fun parts aside, I'll tell you all about another horse. The one I got a picture with, her name's Tigerlily. She's the absolute sweetest. Probably one of the most gentle horses I've worked with. She's such an angel. It doesnt help that she's tiny and adorable too. About 7-10 hands tall. 


We've found a few new people to teach too! So, we've been calling some people that were taught in the past and we got in contact with a mom, daughter and their caretaker. They're so sweet. They really love the Book of Mormon. 


We also stopped by a house and a miracle happened. It had a gate on it so we thought it was likely it wouldnt lead to anything but it opened! A miracle! We met the mother of someone who's been taught in the past and she said she'd like to come to church. This just proves that I should never doubt god and his timing. 


Well folks, I don't really know what else to say for this one. I'll probably write next week. Also, we get to go to the Temple tomorrow! We are so thrilled.

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...
