Happy New Year!!

Yesterday, I was with the other Sisters, and I realized that when May comes, I'll have been graduated from high school for 4 years. I'm old. Some of these missionaries just came out of high school so when i'm around them I feel extra old. Well, I dont remember much of this week, but I'm going to say what I do remember. 



Recovering from sickness!!

So, It turns out I started with a cold, then it turned into a sinus infection. On Tuesday I woke up from a nap and the other sisters were there. They called the Mission nurse and they wanted to take me to an urgent care. So we went. And they rejected my insurance because "they dont have a contract". In two places. Yeah, frankly, it was disgusting. But we were able to get a hold of a doctor who was a service missionary and he perscribed me with an antibiotic. Feeling a lot better now though ao at least that ordeal wasnt for nothing! 



Brace Appointment and more Urgent Care!!

So on Thursday we had exchanges. Or I just hung out with my STL who was also sick. Yeah. That morning I had my appointment to get a new knee brace as my doctor ordered and we had a couple of zooms. Then we had a long nap. We had the thought in the early afternoon to call the mission nurse and see if maybe we could get Hermana Morgan something too because hers was bad. The doc went out of town sadly, but we found an urgent care that didnt reject us! And we waited for three hours to get her in. Yeah, it was a long day, especially since we were both sick as dogs but we are both doing better! 



Late Christmas with Jesus!!

Our recent convert Jesus wanted to take us out for dinner on Saturday. Also had a little late christmas exchange. I crocheted a dragon, which I forgot to take a picture of and gave it to him for christmas. He seemed to like it. Especially since he really likes purple. He got us both gifts, which was super nice of him. Sister Manafield got some new nice shoes and I got a neacklace and some socks! It was so sweet of him and we had a good time eating good food and talking about the gospel. He said something precious, so I kind of felt bad that he was spending money on us so I mentioned that the gospel was free and that he didnt have to, and he said something along the lines of "Yeah, but it's priceless to me." My heart!! I almost cried. 



Church!!

Yes, I was able to go to church this week and I'm so happy. I skipped a week and it was so sad. But we made it this week and it was so good! 



So, that was what has happened this week. Hopefully I'll have more to write about next week. See you next time!

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!

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...
