ive got 2 weeks to catch you up on
cause we went to coloma (where the gold rush started!) last week on
pday! these were the fine sisters that were in attendance :] (from left
to right: sister vaughn, acker, oliphant, toro, white) more pictures to
come after i steal them from sister vaughn's camera. we had a blast and i
found gold! its HUGE! well for finding it in a river it is. im guessing
its worth about $3 haha good times though :]
we are teaching the cutest family, the Sharps.
Sister Sharp (who reminds me of the older version of burgundy waller) is
a member of the church wants to make the gospel more a part of her life
and she wants her kids to be baptized. we are working with all three of
her kids which are the the cutest things. Grace the middle child just
ran and won her student council elections for vice president. she
delivered an amazing speech at the event that we got to watch later, she
is a little fireball. anyways audrey is 12, grace 10, and conrad 8.
grandpa is coming up soon to baptize them this next month. its been
great having cute simple lessons with their family and we are having a
lesson today about the restoration using candles. were real excited for
them. the gospel blesses us most when its in the home and centered on
the family.
tommy our greek little man had surgery this week and
graciously accepted a priesthood blessing before hand. he is seriously
so great. i wish i could send home the fresh white peaches he gives us.
they are delicious!
we had a new name gives to us: DICTIONARIES! "mom
the dictionaries are here!!!" kids say the darndest things. i guess they
kind of sound alike.
apparently linden, which
is this itty bitty town next to us, had a two serial killers here about
20 years ago that if "documented correctly" would have been the nations
largest serial killing ever. we have a referral for a lady whose
daughter was believed to have been a victim of it years and years ago.
sad stuff. but it makes for great haunting stories we keep hearing :]
new best mormon message: http://www.mormonchannel.org/video/mormon-messages?v=2119328537001 dads are the best.
as we teach david i am learning SO much more about native
american history. its so fascinating how it fits so perfectly into the
book or mormon, a history of the people in AMERICA! i love how the
gospel just makes sense... and im dying to go home and check out a bunch
of books from the library about native americans.
did i tell you how much my companion is afraid of snails. bahahahaha i love her so much.
im doign good. the work is doing better. and the gospel is seriously the best.
PS:
bishop schaefer just confirmed i will be speaking in the madison 2nd
ward on December 29th. ill have 10 days to whip up a good "homecoming"
talk so i can not use any of my notes anyways.
