Que bueno que stephanie fue aceptada a USU!!! Im pumped for her, now she can finally start studying what she really wants to do and also better her japanese!! ANd for rachael, haha obvioiusly it is a lot of cleaning, we run a 5 star restraunt! its gotta be shiny clean!!:) but one thing that i learned about working there is that you are going to be tired and in a bad mood often while working, so the best way to change that and be different from the other average employees is to ALWAYS have a genuine smile on your face and be laughing! I know how dificult that will be but the way to do it is find so much joy in the little stupid things and just always be giddy about the little jokes. If you do that your bosses are going to recognize it and have so much trust in you! and for scott...SHOOT bro! thats so rough!! hopefully he is learning from those mistakes bevause that isnt going to be cheap to fix that and what happens if theey say we cant have horses anymore!? that swould be sad!! but its all good, what happens happens, and its all for a reason:)
Im pumped to see pics of the finished cabin!!! its going to be amazing i know it:)
UMM i could use more of that hair stuff, a new head for my toothbrush and the charger for it, ummmmm idk thats all that is on my mind:) and no still havent recieved the picture book yet, hopefully ill get it tomorrow!
Sad to hear about jeremy, Hopefully he doesnt get in the flow of things at home and will really prepare to come out because this is the best thing that he could be doing in his life. ANd It will be amazin to see how the lord could bless him through his service:) ill be praying for him.
OOOKKAAAYY, so for my week,
This week was pretty slick! so first of all i got to do divisions twice this week which was sweet to learn so much in such a little time! but first of all i was with ELder Workman, and we were in my area and we call that day the day of miracles. Let me explain, so first of all we have new parts of our sector that i have no idea anything about them, and so we had lunch at a house in that area with Familia Navarete. During lunch she had told us that she is the Stake relief society president and that she had a meeting there that night ahha but anyways after lunch we left and went to visit people but NO ONE was home or could have a conversasion so we ended up doing a TON of contacting, (backstory, so on tuedsay in Zone Class we learned that the Sister Missionaries aparently sing in all their lessons and some of them sing when they contact people!? they are nuts....) so we contacted this one lady and after about 5 minutes of talking she straight up told us that she wants nothing to do with us and that we should respect her decision......but in my mind i remembered what the sisters said about singing in contacts....so i just out of no where asked her if we could sing for her and she was surprised and was like SERIOUSLY?? and i just said SÍ POR SUPUESTO! and she was like yeah, but not out here in public because she was embarassed, and she invited us in her house and then we sang and afterwards it was just silent....and she told us how thankful she was and how now she feels so calm and a peace to her soul (it definately wasnt our singing that helped her, cuz we arent the greatest singers, THe holy spirit touched her soul) and everythign changed, she had this light to her and practically begged us to come back and visit her and all this stuff. MIRACLE!!! then following that we were just walking contactin again and all of the sudden we hear a lady calling for us and so we talked to her and turns out she is the 1st counselor of the stake relief society and didnt know where Hermana Navarete lived (the same family that i had found their house that day) and so we walked her there and when we got there we talked with them for a bit then as we were leaving Brother Navarete told us to hold on so we waited and he came out with two suits, and told us to try them on....we were a little confused but we put them on and then he started marking them to hem them to us because he is a tailer and then afterwards we asked why he was doing this and he just told us that he was just giving us them! they are practially BRAND NEW!! it was the coolest thing!! THe people are just so humble and will allways help us in any way possible!!!! SO that was the second miracle that we ran in to the lady who needed to find the house of the President and our reward for being in the right places at the right time, following the promptings of theh spirit were new suits for free:) THE DAY OF MIRACLES!!!
THe second divisions was with ELder Gowdy and he is from ALPINE! i rembmber seeing him play football and all that and so we got to know each other reallygood and now we are buds, he goes home in february but he is the coolest guy! and what are the chances that He becomes my Zone Leader his last change!! such a small world!!!!!!!!:)
THat was pretty much the great part of my week, and i learned soo much and am so greatfull for all the great things that have happened so far in my mission and also the hard times, because its in that hard times that i learn and grow!:)
Love YOU ALL!!!:)
