Happy Labor Day!!

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well. It’s Labor Day weekend and I know at least some of you are off having adventures somewhere. If so, I hope you’re having fun! 


I’m sure you’ve heard that President Nielson’s birthday is coming soon. I’m super excited for it honestly. They’re having a broadcast and everything! I’m going to have to make something for the occasion since I did last year. I made Birthday Fajitas last year for me and my comp. Since I’m going to be here at home I can make a dessert? Either way it’s going to be fun! 


Soup kitchen sugar rush

Since I have a picture of the cookies I made at the soup kitchen, I’ll give yall some context. Our manager lady wants us to do something nice for the people who make the food so we made sugar cookies that Sister Meidell found off the internet. The thing is though, it seems that Elders don’t know how to bake.

The frosting we made turned out salty because one of them added a tablespoon instead of a teaspoon. It wasn’t the worst thing ever like the one time I mistook a recipe to say salt instead of baking soda. Those were much more nasty. 

But having salty frosting is just plain weird. The people liked it okay though strangely enough. I thought the whole thing was kind of funny. Probably because I had to taste test that frosting multiple times to see if we can take out some of the salt flavor and I think that did funny things to my brain. Having a Sugar Rush is an interesting sensation to say the least. 


Twice the temple shifts! 

I did my usual temple shift on Thursday and I subbed for Sister Mangleson on Saturday. I think the lord thought I needed it since I had to miss my usual district temple trip because I had physical therapy for my knee. It was great! I love the temple. The Saturday shift is great and I learned more about how they fold stuff in the laundry department. That’s where I was most of the time. I’m pretty sure I’ve forgotten a lot of it though because there’s just so many methods to folding all of the different temple things. Although if you learn it once it’s easier to learn it again so that’s fine. 


Well, that’s that for this time! Love you all and I’ll write again 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...
