Hey all!! Holy cow, what a crazy
week!!! I've decided that my current assignment is one that brings a lot of
preparation for a hectic life. We try to
do everything that normal missionaries do, and then have to do a whole bunch of
office stuff!!! It's really making me step up and learn how to plan as
effectively as possible. It's stressful, but it's a blast, juggling all these
different things!
This week was pretty exciting It
started with a heart surgery as mentioned last week, but it just stayed awesome!!! As I think I mentioned last Monday, it was
starting to snow. We had our first good snow of the year, and it kept coming!!
Tuesday was a snow day! We were all asked to not drive (we got special
permission, since we have 4 wheel drive) so, we went and spent the day at the
office getting ahead on all the paperwork! it was pretty funny, when we first walked in,
one of the senior sisters challenged us to a snowball fight, so we went outside
and had a fight! haha
Wednesday we had mission leadership
council. Those are always really neat. President Riggs gave us some really good
leadership training on some good principles of love, example and leadership. We
talked a lot, too about our mission culture - where it is and where we want it
to be. It was good!
Thursday was the departing temple
trip. It was kind of weird since Elder Cluff was going home. I almost felt like
the "lone assistant" since he was with his group. It was an awesome
trip to the temple though! It was sweet.
Friday was the Mission Christmas
Conference!! That was super fun! We got to the Stake Center to find out that
there was no mic or sound equipment.... so, Elder Cluff and I went on the
hunt!! We finally got it set up during the opening hymn... haha It was pretty
sweet! We had a blast, we had some great talents and great testimonies shared.
It was fun. haha One notable moment you would have been proud of. the battery
on the microphone died in between talents, and President called for help with his
familiar "I need some assistance!" That's our cue, as I've come to
learn, so Elder Cluff and I started racing up to the stage yelling "I can
assist! I can do it!" It was fun, so of course as I leapt up onto the
stage, I had to let my foot catch. Everyone thought I ate it super hard!! It
was awesome :)
Saturday, we helped with the parking
at the Christmas lights at the temple! It was fun, but COLD!! And wet!!!
Overall, it was a good week! Elder
cluff goes home tomorrow, so I will have
a new companion
