Sunny Days 5/27/13


Hello hello! 

The weeks sure are flying by! And I'm pretty sure yesterday was the hottest day I've ever felt on my mission! It probably wasn't more than 20 degrees, but I was boiling as we walked around trying by different less-actives and going to a fake address that a solid lady gave us - at least she seemed pretty solid.  It was nice though to actually feel hot for once. 

This week we had zone conference on Friday and it was incredible!  I actually felt quite rebuked and realized that I need to do a lot of repenting, but it's good to be a bit humbled and then given the tools to change. 

On Friday evening we had a classical evening at the chapel. Sister Vance has an amazing voice and she sang 2 songs.  I accompanied her on one of them and it was fun.  We also had one of our investigators perform. His name is Jobe and he was very impressive and a very talented musician. He also brought in 6 other non-members to the event and it was really cool.  I invited the parents of Jobe's friend out to church, but they weren't too interested.  But I am hoping that maybe we can get Jobe and the other lads together for a lesson sometime. 

Angela did not come to church again. SO frustrating! Investigators are funny people and I'm never quite positive what to do with some of them.  Angela wants so depserately to change, but yet she won't keep commitments.  We're going to do a Family Home Evening tonight at Sister Paice's and hopefully have a good chat with Angela. 

Our teaching pool is real small at the moment and we need to build it back up, but for some reason it's been quite challenging lately. But it's a good thing we always have the ability to pray and Heavenly Father gives us opportunities to exercise our faith. 

This next week should be fun. Sis.Vance's birthday is coming up, I'm a part of a mission choir that is performing on Friday and then we have a stake service project on Saturday. It should be a lot fun. 

I love you!

When it Rains it Pours

Day 4: Thursday, 18 September 2014 Today was my first day going to my Digital Imaging class, taught by Sis. Caryn Esplin.  I am so excited for this class. The homework is just going to be fun stuff!  I took a class last winter from Sister Esplin and she is amazing! She is my career role model. I want to be just like her some day!  When I took her class in the winter, I received several awards from her because she liked my work so well.  Today, I again impressed her as I was able to recite back every person’s name back after we all introduced ourselves. There were only about 27 kids in the class so it was easy. I just have a good memory. So I won the Bright Idea award (a light bulb jar filled with M&Ms).  Anyways, about an hour after class, Sister Esplin called me and asked me if I would like to be her TA for one of her classes! She thought I did really well in the winter and thought I would make an excellent TA.  This is the 9 th job of...

Comm. 150 Journal

Gee whiz, it has been several years since I personally posted anything on this blog.  I don't even know if anyone evens looks at it, but hey, that's okay. I am starting my 8th semester of university and I am taking a class where I have to keep a daily journal.  I just have to write about something that happened to me that day. I've started it on a Word document, but I had the thought that I could keep on here and share unique experiences that happen in my crazy life. So here are the ones I have done for this week so far: Comm 150 journal: Day 1: Monday, 15 Sept. 2014 When I was in my first area on my mission, Newcastle Emlyn in Wales, I had this funny zone leader named Elder Hopkinson. He was from Leeds and had a great accent. Every time he called he would always ask what the craziest thing was that had happened to us that day.  I remember feeling dumb if I didn’t have a wild story to tell him, but from then on I tried to make every day of my mission be a...
