Here
is my lame attempt to combine 2 weeks together because I forgot to send last
weeks email out :)
Week 8/19/18-8/25/18
I am pretty sure Monday was just a few hours ago... This week has gone by so fast!
I started working at Interfaith and I am so excited to do all sorts of different things there. This week was mostly paperwork and handbook reading but I did get to do some filing projects bringing me back to the good ole days when I was an office assistant ha so that was fun. I also got to meet this guy named pat. He is an amazing catholic man who works at interfaith. Talking to him he was telling me that his house burned down in the 2007 fires, he then went on and on telling me how amazing the "Mormons" (Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ;)) were, helping them clean passing out supplies and donating Christmas presents for families. He then proceeded to tell me how there was only one other faith that did a little more than we did and that was the Protestants, and he Sid that during that fire the Catholics came in 3rd but not to worry because during the fires following that the Catholics were the best. Although I may find this very funny I also find it so amazing how so many people of different Faiths come together when people are in times of need. Cause ultimately we are all here to help each other in any way we can.
Tuesday was one of those days that when I got home I sat myself on the couch and didn't move the rest of the Day. Working at Habitat I pretty much got to dig and move rocks around for 6 hours which was so great! We leveled out patches of dirt so when people come to plant all the plants they can do it fast and with ease! but MAN all these houses are built on rocks, lots and lots of rocks which made it so fun to dig. Needless to say I may or may not still be sore, but it was also a super awesome day cause you got to see the final result of your work all done.
Family History and Institute this week was awesome I got to pick up 2 new sisters and bring them along with me which was fun! And I only got lost for 15 minutes and had to do 5 U-turns but we made it alive that's all that matters :)
Working at the temple is amazing as always, and I have loved meeting and serving with new people there who are about to leave on their missions.
Week 8/26/18-9/1/18
Mission Conference!!! We got to combine Mission Conference with the San Diego Mission this month because of the mission tour so we got to have 2 members of the 70 with us. Elder Mckay and Elder Pearson. It was such an amazing conference and we learned so many think about acting like representatives of the Lord, and about how we need to never give in, up or out. Before this conference our mission president emailed us and asked us to read 2 articles and prepare a 3-5 minute talk on What we are doing to become better missionaries. Getting this email the evening before conference and being with family that was in town I only I time to read the talks, then as we got to the conference early I wrote a few notes just in case I had to speak (but come on I have done my fare share of speaking the past couple of week so I didn't think I was going to have to) and guess who was the only one in our mission to speak... Me. But of corse it was a great experience and is was so great to be able to get up and bare testimony in front of some incredible missionaries.
Tuesday at Habitat was a stress relieving day for me. I got to clean and spackle and tape and paint baseboards in the downstairs of one of the houses. I worked on that for the whole day but got it ALL done and it looked so nice after and was very therapeutic for my OCD haha.
The temple was amazing as always and Adam got to meet me after one of my shifts which was super fun.
That’s is all for the past 2 weeks. Now enjoy my pics of my accomplishments these past weeks
Love y’all
