Temple Trip!

Hey y'all!

Late emails this week because we went to the temple! It was so good! I didn't realize how much I missed it until I went. I hadn't gotten to go since January. We got to ride up with Sister Smith and her daughter.

​

On Tuesday this week I hit my 9 month mark!! It is so crazy! We had district meeting up in Odessa and in between here and Odessa there is a petting zoo and we were hoping the camels were out by the fence but they weren't :(  so no way cool picture but just imagine how cool it would have been (:

​

One of the great members here, Sister McArthur, made us Cafe Rio this week and we were so excited!! I don't know why the rest of the world hasn't discovered it! She also helped me replace the tube in my  bike tire! She is the best! It was quite the process but I think we are back in business!

We helped with the bowling activity at the nursing home this week. Bill is actually starting to get better! He comes out of his room for lunch which he hasn't done in awhile! It is so good to see him up and moving!

On Tuesday we were up in Odessa and we got out of our meeting to see a missed call and a voicemail from brother McMahan. We were somewhat concerned because he never calls us. His voicemail said to call him right away so we did and he didn't answer. So we called Sue (his daughter) and she just told us to stop by the house on our way back. So of course we thought this was some emergency type thing. Nope! He just wanted to give us bananas.... he is hilarious! We were dying! haha!

Another funny thing that happened this week was we tried to go to the baptist bible study again but it turns out that it was a business meeting instead (branch council really) and they were describing that they needed a program to make sure that everyone got visited in their church, especially the ones who don't come as often or may need help. We were chuckling in the back, each sentence they used to describe this program that they needed better and better described visiting and home teaching! It just reminded me of how inspired our leaders are and how true the church we have is! I love this gospel and am so glad to have it in my life!

Love y'all!!
