Happy Valentine's Day my lovely Friends and Family!
Last Monday after having my interfaith service cut a little
short. I got to go and meet with 5 new mission leaders who will be in charge of
multiple service missions in different areas in the United States. A few
missionaries and I got to be on a little panel and answers all sorts of
different questions they had for us so they could get a better idea of how a
service mission should run!
The next day although Habitat for Humanity was canceled
again (due to the rain) I went down with Sister Wilkinson to again meet up with
these 5 couples, as they were touring many different assignments, and talked to
them about what I do there!
Last Wednesday was a great day for all of my assignments, we
had an awesome devotional at the Family History Center on Liberty Jail based
off of the talk "Lessons from Liberty Jail" by Elder Holland I LOVED
reading this talk and the chapters that go along with it D&C 121,122,123
and would encourage all to read them!
Thursday was my first day alone at old town and all dressed
up in my new "period attire". I was in the McCoy house and I would
say had a pretty successful day! I got almost 50 people that came in and I got
a lot of reading and learning done about the McCoy house Museum!
Saturday I got to be back at Camp Wildwood! It was super
nice to be back and up in the woods... although we spent all of our time in the
bathroom sanding all of the walls.
Saturday Night and Sunday morning we had stake conference,
and wow It was so amazing. All of the speakers gave us beautiful messages and I
loved the themes that were shared between all of Trusting in our Father in
Heaven, Share the gospel by living it and minister to others by loving them!
And to sum up this week:
Interfaith on Monday consisted of archiving old volunteers
and going to Chicken Charlie's and eating WAY too much food with some employees
and volunteers.
Actually being able to go to Habitat for humanity, I got to
answer some questions about the church and service missions another volunteer
had and I learned that blocking and framing is my weakness on Tuesday.
Temple, FHC and Institute where we learned about how we can
follow the prophets plead for us to gather Israel in D&C 84:80-88 on
Wednesday.
And lastly today (Thursday) getting all dressed and ready to
go to old town, and the whole time having my mom tell me she was terrified to
have me drive in this crazy weather (rexburg friends cover your ears, by crazy
weather she means a lot of rain and its 62 degrees outside), then 2 minutes
before I left, I finally listened and made some calls and had everyone said the
same thing that driving all the way down to Old Town (45 min drive) was not a
good idea. okay fine you were right mom... :)
Love you all more than all the mud on my brothers truck!
