Zone conference. Sister High & Me (her current companion)
Sister High & I caught out in a rain storm, later to become a hail storm. (Doesn't dampen their spirits.)
Our service project in Suncrest 10th ward. Planting flowers. This is the finished project.
Mt Timpanogas Temple. Kelsea (a fellowshipper), Sister High and me.
Fall colors!! This is my favorite secret path.
District meeting at the temple. Only two Elders came.
Shay, our fellowshipper. She knows Tony from his mission. (Small world)
I've come to the conclusion that cats like me......He climbed onto me.
Okay all animals like me. This is Lulu a doberman pincer that was raised by datsuns and thinks she is one.
Attack of the walnuts...not a pretty sight......
District halloween activity. A night of playing Phase 10 and watching Invictus. So this is what my week looked like: Going out with Sister Pittson Monday, the battle with the walnuts, Lacey deciding to get baptised this Sunday, eating lots and lots of candy, speaking in the Suncrest 4th Ward, being idolized by 9 year old girls that want to become our assistants. Making friends with a Doberman Pincer, Getting to 'dress up' for Halloween and watching a movie about Rugby.
Making omletes with Sister Edwards (Geneva 3rd Ward). My cooking, I was happy not to have scrambled eggs.
(So sorry to have to have you crank your neck. The editor is just too technically challenged to know how to fix this after I've posted the picture).
WA-LA!!! Flaming omlete.
Back to the story about the walnuts....we were given a bag of walnuts to use and I found this little bitty baby walnut.....so cute.
A beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Home sweet home. We live in the basement appartment.
Hermana Rojas and me at Andrey's baptism. Cool spirit.
Interesting shot of me........No that is not a computer, it is a folder...Area book.
Me and Hermana Rojas. Ya gotta love those green walls. (Wow...now that's bright & funky)
Playing "don't break the sabbath" Jenga with my favorite family.
District group shot after a hike up to bridel Veil Falls.
We got to go to General conference. We sat down on the third row right side of the pulpit. When they were going out Pres Eying and Pres Uchtdorf both smiled really big when they saw us and then waved. So cool.
(Here's an excerpt of a recent letter:)
....we had a crazy fast week of door knocking, zone conference, district meeting, three sacrament meetings, 10 lessons, having a general authority in our apartment, meeting crazy old men that love the church but don't want to committ to it and a whole lot of walking.....so the week flew by. I think I am in the best shape I have ever been in. We are getting to know the neighborhoods better and the members want to help us more. ...... The great thing called sympathy, from alot of the doors we knocked we have met a lot of older ladies who are so cute and they want us to stay all day. But the flip-side we have also met a few anti. Sister High is really good about just testifying to them, where as they make me mad and I have to just not say anything or I would end up arguing with them. Which would be bad...... I don't know it's just when someone tells me to go read the Bible, when I read it for almost a half hour a day...gets to me a little. I feel like saying, "no you need to read the scriptures!!" And that would be bad. So I let my wonderful companion testify about faith and we walk on...... I'm still working on that charity thing. :) I do love my area, my investigators, and my members. The work goes on and the Lord is definantly in charge."
CHRISTMAS WISH:
Stacey says " I was thinking about what I would like for Christmas.....I would like you all to write down some of your best mission stories and send me a copy or for like Mom or Nicole or those that didn't go on a mission to tell me some cool spiritual/missionary moments you've had in your life. I would love you to do that for me. I think it would help me stay focused for these last few months. Thanks!"
