exchanges with sister kim.
we may or may not have stayed up pillowtalking about geek technology
stuff and how much we love google and smart phones. haha joy.
exchanges with sister jenson. got to spend a day in stockton. love that
city. and it will forever hold the title of home in my heart... but its
not my area anymore. it was hard to say goodbye to that place but it was
good to move on. life makes us do that sometimes. cant wait to be able
to stay better in touch with all those loved ones via facebook, etc in
the future. they may only be 15 minutes away but communication with
other missionaries is close to impossible. Sister Jensen also sent me to
a link to a profile of a mom with a deaf son: mormon.org/sherri.
check it out. stockton was great. got to see the yeasmans, dede, larry,
doug, lani. maria and many more. still haven't gotten a pic of kevin
yet... and he moved :(
pioneer day activity on saturday! we dressed up like
pioneers and looked great. sister langi even did my hair to match. pics
to come. david wilson, a man we are currently teaching even came in his
authentic native american garb and we ate time period food: homemade
beef jerky and johnny cakes.
miracle for this week: we have now gone a full two weeks without any milk in the house. haha the lord provides.
at
the close of yesterday we were invited over to dinner with a tongan
family. sister langi was on cloud 9. and i even ate all the food. lots
of fun stuff including otai = chunky drink and ota = raw fish
veggie/coconut milk salad. we have lots of leftovers in the fridge cause
of course they send you home with lots of food. i was the only palangi
(white person) there. great times. maybe ill get horse before long ;]
1Nephi 11:21-22 has become one of my favorite
passages in the book of mormon. how great it is to share the message of
the love of god, the things that all desire most.
lovin the work and lovin lodi
peace,
sister oliphant
