bowling with the Rochester sisters!
|
so my grandma
Shakespeare sent us a build-your own Santa and I thought that I looked pretty sexy with the mustache! |
getting ready to face the cold! |
Friends and family!
How much I miss all of you! so, I’ve heard that southern Utah
is experiencing some snow and let me tell ya: you will not be finding sympathy
in me because I truly feel like yall got snow to understand what is happening
here in the MMM. Let me tell you that this morning when me and sister Wiggins
went outside to shovel snow it was all of -2* outside and that is nothing
compared to what we have experienced the past couple of days..they
told us that with the wind-chill it was -20*! but it’s all good because we
dress warm! and I wasn't all that cold :)
This past week we have been really busy and I think that it’s crazy the amount of time we haven't been in Austin as of late...Since sister Wiggins is a sister training leader, she has meetings to go to and we visit the other sisters in our zone! This week we were gone a lot! On Sunday we had an awesome "missionary-style" road trip! We drove to Rochester on Sunday night to surprise the sister serving there! It was funny the look on their face when they opened their door and found us standing outside! We spent our Pday with them and had a party! We went bowling, but of course it was not normal bowling. We had a beg of M&M and each turn we would pick a M&M and would bowl according to what color we picked...for some reason I would pick orange like every time..and orange was: we would have to spin around a bunch of times then bowl with our left hand! it was crazy..there were a couple of times where I almost bowled in the wrong lane, but my awesome companion helped me find our lane before I damaged someone else's score!

On Tuesday we went to Bloomington because sister Wiggins had
a leadership meeting, so I got to work with the Bloomington
sister and a sister who is serving in St Paul. We had a good time
together. the sister who is serving in Bloomington is new and had only
been out 3ish weeks, I kinda felt bad because everything she had
planned for us to do fell through! she had a lesson and a
service project planned but it didn't happen! so we spent most of the
day knocking doors! we were able to teach a couple of people and we got a
couple return appointments for her and her companion! so that was totally
awesome!
This weekend sister Wiggins and I went to
Rochester with some of our investigators for an activity the stake
put on..each year they get 100s of different nativity sets from
around the world and put them up for people to come and see. they
also had a live nativity and musical numbers..it was pretty neat! we
were able to go Friday and Saturday evenings, which was great! our
investigators seemed to like it and the nativity sets cool..they had
them from all different countries and it was neat to see how each countries
looked! I love how they were all different, but had the same
meaning and brought the same spirit..it was really cool!
Sunday we watched the Christmas devotional and it
was great! I loved the music, maybe not what the choir was wearing,
but the music was great!! I really liked Elder Nelsons talk
and when the children sang the song: I’m trying to be like Jesus..it
was cool beans!
Well, today is district pday and the elders are ready
to party so I hope that everyone has a good week and I love you all!!!
