Week 53: A Glorious Morning

 

8 mile walk

Monday- I am grateful for rain, studying, and emails.

Tuesday- I am grateful for exercising, preparedness, and my patriarchal blessing.

Wednesday- I am grateful for long walks, cake, and free tacos.

Thursday- I am grateful for recognition, solutions, hauling logs, Jesus Christ, happiness, and hot showers.

Friday- I am grateful for rivers, smiling, and my ukulele.

Saturday- I am grateful for memories, games, country music, The Plan of Salvation, and answered prayers.

Sunday- I am grateful for one extra hour of sleep, The Ensign, being happy, and the STARS!

Monday- I am grateful for gifts, leaves, service, memories and advice.

I make great cake.

Somebody stole a base in a baseball game so we got free tacos from Taco Bell on Wednesday. It was a good day. Also went on a 8 mile walk that day. 

Farmer for Halloween

Helped out with the logging service and hauled logs for a solid 2.5 hours on Thursday. Man it's a work out, and hard work, and really dirty, but I find myself just smiling and feeling so happy the entire time, every time!! I'm so grateful for my happy attitude in all times  I've been blessed.

This sunset!

 

We taught a couple of Members this week over zoom and it was excellent! The only ones who really will make time for us are the lonely old people and it makes me feel so bad for them. I hope we spend the time now with the older ones who might not have much going on. They are so grateful when we do. 

Filmed "If You could Hie to Kolob" with my comps  I really am not good at singing, but I'll do it.

 

Visited the Mississippi and it had risen quite a bit because of the 4 solid days of rain! 

We love Sis. Lindsey

Speaking of, I finally saw the sun on Friday and oh boy was that a glorious day. I love the sun. 

I finished the Book of Mormon in Portuguese!! In less than a year too! Super happy and excited and it has only grown my love for The Book of Mormon and its power. It has greatly helped my Portuguese and continues to do so 

Glorious sunset

We had a great Halloween full of chopping logs, studying, playing some games, and visiting Sister Lindsey. She had us sit outside with her and hand out candy. She's the best. Her neighbors were playing some loud country music and boy oh boy did that throw me back. Also got to call my family which is always a blessing. It was a good Halloween 

Free Tacos

It's crazy how rarely I see the stars now. Kinda makes me sad when I think about it. I LOVE the stars and want to be able see them all the time.

How fast are you driving?

 

We got 5 referrals in one day this week.

All of our lessons with investigators fell through.

We only got to teach one lesson this week and it was to a member.

But ya' know what, the work is still happening.

My run yesterday morning was 28° degrees! When I got back in the car at the end of it my eyelashes had ice on them. Pretty rad.

Love,
