This week started off with a disgusting picture of Elder Merril and Tempest on the right. Gives me the willies. This is my new district though! Elders Riches, Daum, Thompson, Austin, Maghn, Hislup, Merril, and Tempest. And then Sisters Me, Thompson, Adams, and Ludvigson. I love these people! We actually have District P-days which are fun because we play glow in the dark Frisbee and volleyball. There's also food so that's a plus. I'm also a basketball all-star now after a lot of practice. Elder Merril played basketball in high school and asked if I played. I must have looked like I knew what I was doing. I don't even know what a 3 pointer is.. Next time you see me I'll be in the NBA so keep an eye out for that one.
Exchanges were this week with Sister Jackson and Moody! I love them! I went to Lake Stevens for the third time and I feel like I know everyone there now. Fun stuff. It was fun to be in a 3 pack! We probably looked like an army knocking on doors. An army of Helaman, that is.
This week's crock pot dinner was chili! It was delicious. Crock pots are literally a miracle. I love them. We just entered into our ward's chili cook-off on the 27th and as good as this chili was, it is not gonna cut it for this chili cook-off. I NEED RECIPES PEOPLE!! Send in your best chili recipe that will win us first prize and gain the respect and referrals from our ward! I'm joking. They respect us, but I do want referrals so I'm serious. We are gonna win this thing.
We went back to the Alpaca house!! We knocked on the door, and Roxy answered and asked to be baptized!! (Roxy the alpaca) WHAT A MIRACLE!!! We are so excited for her.
We got some good presents this week! The first of the two was some beanie babies from Sister Lyons. I love her. She brought out a huge box of them and let us pick which one we wanted.
I picked the one that looks like Charlie of course. Miss that little rat.
The second of the two was a necklace that was made of newspaper in Africa from Sister Curry. I ended up giving it to Peggy that night. She loves that kind of stuff. We had the most amazing experience with her last night. She gets really terrible pain that has made it hard for her to progress or do anything really so we asked if she would like a priesthood blessing. She accepted and we went over last night with Brother Corr and Brother Rushton. They gave her a blessing and the spirit was soooo strong in that room. She started to cry and she said "I have never felt this light before". She is always so sad when we visit her and I saw a whole new light in her last night. Brother Rushton said that as Brother Corr was giving the blessing, he could see Peggy dressed in all white working in the temple. I started to cry obviously at that point. I never knew how much I could love these people so much. I am so grateful to be a part of this glorious and wonderful work.
I will leave you with this weird quote that Sister Thompson and I can't figure out for the life of us but just take it for what it's worth.
"And as the shepard (shepherd thank you very much) looked up at the stars he asked what holds up the sky Gods or Pillars?"
The answer is God. Easy.
I love you all! Have a spooky week! Share the gospel! Be smart! BYE!!
Love,
Sister Blister
