I’m An Ordinance Worker Now!

While I’m writing this email, my mom is shuffling cards after my victorious round of Village Idiot. I wasn’t the Idiot so I won. Hopefully I get another round of victory this one. 


Temple Trip! 
On Friday some of the other missionaries and I went too the Cedar City Temple for an Endowment session. They made a new video for it so check it out! They did a pretty good job! We had tacos at Brody’s before our appointment and it was delicious as always! It did snow though. I’m not a huge fan of snow but Sister DeMille loves it so I guess God can show her that tender mercy. It’s kind of interesting how perspectives are, like how I don’t like it in the moment but she learned to take it as the blessing it was. Just something to think of. Next time we think of a trial, maybe we can try to think of the positives and see it as the blessing it is. 


Temple Shifts! 
While I’m waiting for Dad to deal, I’ll tell you all about Saturday! After I spent some time with my good friend Em (love u bestie) I had an interview with the temple president. I thought it would be an interview but it turned out like when I got my second job. During my interview a couple years ago for said job, my interviewer became my boss in front of my eyes by shouting to the front desk lady saying “Print out the Paperwork! We’re hiring this girl!”. Pretty much the same thing happened where I went in to the interview and at the end he told me he was going to set me apart. I got the blessing and I now officially have the calling! I don’t know why I thought I had to point out how this was similar to one of my job interviews, but maybe one of you all can help me figure out why it gave me a sense of Deja vu. 


That I think was all the excitement I had this week, other than me and Dad trying a new Ramen place. It’s by Cold Stone in St. George for all gone who’s interested. I only had a couple of pictures I took myself so I’m borrowing some off the internet for the temple. Maybe it’ll help some of you in California visualize the temple a little better. It’s truly one of my favorite places! Anywho, until 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!

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...
