Week 95

tornados EVERYWHERE!!!

So, that's a lie, but there were some green clouds yesterday.  I thought we were gonna see some tornadoes for sure, but alas...there were none as far as I know.  

So, before I forget...I did get the postcard from Todd.  I also got a letter from Grandma and 94 from mom.

I hope Jury duty goes well for you, Dad.  Should be fun ;)  

For my mother's sake, the cut on my leg is good now.  It had looked a little inflamed at first so I put some neosporin on it, and Viola!  magic. :)  

Oh also, definitely push this Easter "Because of Him" thing...we've only got a week to do it, so Hizzah!!!

Still working on the sealing date.  I heard back from him and he said that they're going to try and pick a day and let me know asap.  

Now, what to tell you.  Let's see...So have I ever mentioned that I don't know what I've told you and when things happen.  So, here goes.  We went to the temple last week.  That was really good.  as usual.  I think it'd be intense to have church next to the temple.  That would be a different experience bringing investigators to church.  "So, yeah, here's our church building and, oh yeah, that's the house of the Lord...isn't it beautiful.  Now, would you like to join our church?"  I could imagine a conversation going down like that...

We also had the activity day zone conferences.  Those were really good.  We got to watch a clip of Miracle on Ice during President's instruction.  Hey, here's a random thought, have I ever told you how ridiculously tired I am.  I know I've been perpetually tired my entire-d (did you see what I did there??) mission, but recently, I just feel even more exhausted.  Who Knows...Okay, back to the story, we also sung the Preacher and the Bear with our Mission President afterwards...that was fun.  I'll tell you something else, the zone conferences are a lot different when you're the one that has to make sure that everything runs smoothly...it's different when all you do is show up, enjoy a ton of delicious instruction that you didn't have to prepare for, minus spiritually, run around playing for 3 hours until people blow the whistle and tell you to rotate, and then go home calling it a good day.  That versus, having to be there early, set things up, make sure all the technology runs right, give demonstrations, ensure that everyone's having fun, be the one to run the activities and tell people to rotate.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this in an effort to complain at all.   I love being on the leadership and administrative ends of things, but it just gave me a different perspective.  It helped me appreciate others more when I am the one that just has to show up :)  I went on exchange to the Spanish ward again on Friday.  That was fun.  Practiced my Spanish a little bit.  

Yesterday, we had a 1st transfer missionary and their trainers training meeting.  That was really good.  

Well, I want to get y'all some pics, so that's all you get.

Love yous a ton.
