Sunburnt Knees And Watchin The Goonies

The title is exactly the situation I’m in right now. Mom reminded me to write this while we are watching a movie as a family. The Goonies was always one of Tysen’s favorites and he wanted to watch it. This movie has always scared me as a kid. Still kind of does but also doesn’t because it’s obvious it’s from the 80’s. To be honest I’m surprised Ty likes this movie because he hates scary movies.


Ordinance Worker stuffs! 

I get to talk about my temple shift this week! Woohoo!! I love the temple so much. There are of course things I can’t say over email but I’ll tell you all a little bit about what I do. Generally speaking I help out wherever I’m needed. I do Initiatories, help at the veil, I’m at the baptistry office, and I also am stationed in the hallways sometimes and act as a direction woman. It’s kind of odd that for someone who has no sense of direction I can generally find just about anything in that temple now. Well, in the celestial room it’s hard to tell which exit leads to the stairs because it’s  symmetrical but other than that I can generally tell people where to go. I think it’s a blessing from God at this point. I think that he knew I needed that spiritual gift because I would not be able to do this well if I got lost all the time. 


Powell is stinking hot this time of year! 

On Friday Morning we left for Lake Powell! It was so fun to be at the lake and hang with the family outside. Well, it was also over 100 degrees and the water was so warm it was barely refreshing to jump in. It’s a miracle we’re not all severely sunburnt. Well, Ty’s shoulder and my knees are pretty bad but no one else was too bad. We had a good time though and totally did some wicked surfing tricks. Well, tried at least. 


Alright everyone, I believe next week I’m going to be talking about Deseret Industries. I hope I’m still qualified because I haven’t been in a couple of weeks haha. I hope you have enjoyed and I’m hoping I can finish this movie without having to walk out. I don’t know why but I still get the heebie jeebies. I think it’s child me remembering how this movie creeped me out. I think so. Anywho, stay safe and I hope you’ll read next week.

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...
