My Last Week...

Monday, February 23, 2015 

So I am anxious and all sorts of emotions today.  I am sad because this is my last p-day, and I am happy because our golden contact, Bradley, is getting baptized this Saturday.  He is an awesome guy and does missionary work already and everyone loves him.  Since we have regional conference this Sunday, he will be receiving the Holy Ghost on March 8th.

I somehow caught a cough that comes and goes with a runny nose and I get really hot in the morning, but that could be because of me getting anxious because I am closer getting on an airplane again. lol

I did receive your Valentine card last Monday, and I will probably receive your letter today.

Wednesday we cleaned our car which was not my favorite.

Zone conference last Thursday was really good and thank goodness I did not cry when I gave my trunkamonie.  Thursday was also a good day because we finally met some of our less active members in one of our wards.

Friday we were in our car filling out reports when Sis. Colby opens the door to say hi to a dog.  Well, the dog jumps in the car and starts licking our faces.  We spent at least five minutes trying to get the dog out of the car. LOL

Church was good.  Even though I have only been here for six weeks, people have told me how much they will miss me and that really touched me.

I have no idea what I want to do when I first get home.  I guess if I am tired, take a nap. If not, I don’t know.  I have no idea what to expect or how I will be feeling.  I would prefer to each lunch at home, like chicken salad please.

Just giving you a head-up, I will be leaving my pillow, CD’s, and towel for the other sisters to use.
Today we have to go into Nampa to get a new phone because our phone will turn off on us all the time.  After we get back from there we have the interview at 4 for Bradley and then at 7 we have a lesson.  Tuesday I have my last district meeting, and then Wednesday is my departure interview.  Thursday is my Temple trip and Friday is weekly planning.  Then on Saturday we have the baptism and then the missionary conference with Elder L Tom Perry.  Sunday we have regional conference which will be broadcast.

I will probably email on Monday, but no promises because that is when I go to the mission home.

Ok, well we have to head out now.  See ya in 7 days.

Love ya!

Last Valentines!

I still have no idea about flight plans…sorry!

Friday was my favorite day last week.  Before we went on exchanges we had a Tic Tac war.  Lol It was funny!  Then I went out one last time with Sis. Dunkle.

Valentine’s Day was good, not my favorite one, but good.  I did get the package…that was a lot of chocolate!  I did not get the family Valentine card.

These are the Valentines I received one from the activity girls in our ward. So Sweet! The other from our sister training leaders.


Something that touched my spirit this week is on Sunday we finished up the rest of the commandments with our golden investigator and we were worried because we were going to teach him WOW (Word of Wisdom) and we knew he smoked.  On the day of the lesson his girlfriend told us that he had just stopped smoking and so he is getting the baptized the 28th of this month.  I am so excited for him.  His girlfriend is a member and she is so freakin' awesome!

I am sick still.  It comes and goes; Saturday was the worst, I went to bed at 9:30.  I actually think the reason why I have been sick is because I have been stressed and nervous to come home.

We are going to the Kuna caves today, so that could be interesting.  We have a zone meeting this week which will be my last one.  We usually have a speaker on training and a musical number.  Then all the outgoing missionaries give our trunkamonies.  We have 12 going home.

I have to head out.
Love ya!

Feeling Yucky

This week was a long week to say the least.

Sunday was we had to go on splits because I had to be at a ward council meeting at 6:30 and Sister Colby went to ward council in the other ward, it was not my favorite morning.

I saw Uncle Shawn at church yesterday, it was really nice.  It was actually really emotional for me to talk to Uncle Shawn, but the spirit helped me.  We chatted for a while.  We will be having dinner with him at his brother-in-laws house soon, I don’t know when yet, he is going to set it up and then call us.

So our golden investigator wants to be baptized soon.  We haven’t set a date yet, we are actually going to let him set it.  We saw him yesterday and we will see him this next Sunday.  Our other investigators are just fine.  Something that really touched me this week is when I was talking with one of our investigators I was able to discern his thoughts and feelings, so I knew what questions I could ask him.

We Valentine candy you sent is already here, I just need to pick it up at the mission home.

My favorite part of last week was Saturday because the weather outside was absolutely beautiful.

Something that made me laugh is when Sis. Colby said I snored and that I should pray to Heavenly Father to help me not to snore.  Hahaha, I snored even louder that night.

Health wise I did pretty good last week.  I do not feel good today.  Sister Colby was sick all last week and now I have whatever she has, so we are both sick.  I’m not sure what it is that we have.  All I know is I have stomach cramps that come and go, a really bad headache that doesn’t leave, and I am really tired so all I want to do is sleep.  I woke up 6 times during the night.  I am just really exhausted right now.

I believe I will get to go to the temple on February 26th.  I have no clue about my flight plans; I still haven’t been given any information.  I will probably leave stuff and have Sis. Colby send things home after I leave.

I have no idea what the plans are for today.  We have building tours this week where we take non-members on tours around the building and exchanges.



I have to go now.
Love Ya!

Busy, Busy, Week!

Hey Mom, this week was busy. 

My haircut last p-day went fine.  She cut it evenly all around, so it’s a little short.
Church was good this week.  My companion and I both had restless nights on Saturday, but I managed to stay awake.

Sis. Colby and I are going great.  We laugh a lot.

The members we live with have been nice and we are still waiting to hear if or when we are moving out.

The baptism went awesome.  There were a lot of people that showed up.  I got to help the girls come out of the font after they were baptized.  One of the girls had a cast on her arm because her brother launched her across the room.  We wrapped her arm with Duct tape for the baptism. Two different members baptized the girls.

Kaytln, Chelsey, and Mason Girdner.

Our golden investigator is doing fine.  We are doing things slowly because he doesn't



This is what you see in our area everywhere.

want to be pushed into anything, but he says baptism is definitely something he wants to do. 

One of the less actives we visit calls us his girlfriends.  LOL He is an elderly gentleman and is so funny.

Besides the baptism on Wednesday, my favorite part of last week was we when we went and explored the boundaries because Sis. Colby didn't know where our boundaries ended.

You see this too.
My least favorite day was Thursday because I was sick and I had a headache that did not go away for three days.

So this week I have exchanges with my old trainer Sis. Dunkle.  She is the mission’s new Sister Training Leader and has one more transfer left after I leave before she finishes her mission.  The week after that we have Valentine’s Day, then on the 19th we have zone conference, and on my last Saturday as a missionary Elder L Tom Perry will speak to us.
I was being naughty and had Banana Nut Cream pie at 9 at night.  Lol It was good.


For p-day we still need to go shopping and to laundry.  We have an appointment at 6:30 and then hopefully FHE.

I have to go now, Love Ya!
