Well it's about time----week 7

It happened! It actually, finally happened! I'm out in the field being a real missionary! To recap- I spent 6 weeks back in april/may doing my missionary  training online, then I had to wait for two and a half months before i could come out here, to my reassignment in beautiful Colorado. I'm in this itty bitty town called Cedaredge and there ain't much out here but lots of corn and cows and deer. So ofcourse I absolutely love it. 
STORYTIME at my first member dinner they bring out this AWESOME looking pink lemonade and i was so excited to drink it and as I go to drink it a fly flies into my face so I flinched and the lemonade goes EVERYWHERE. My companion was DYING laughing and I'm just trying to clean it up and of course the members made fun of me for the rest of the dinner.
BONUS STORY we were going to do service at this lady's house and as I was getting out of the truck I slammed my finger in the door and most likely broke it. On my THIRD DAY IN THE FIELD so I really hope the rest of my mission doesn't go the way my first week has. This week felt like a century. But I absolutely love it here the people are awesome, my companion is awesome, the wasps are not so awesome.
I hope y'all are on Facebook because that's where all the missionary work is happening these days! Please please please please like and share and comment on ANY missionary's post, you don't even KNOW how much we appreciate it. 
Love you all so so much and hope your week is FANTABULOUS.

Don't crush your finger in the car door.

Wings of lightning....

I finally took pictures this week so I have something to show you guys!  This week was insane and probably one of the best weeks of my mission so far. Here are some highlights: -It POURED rain out of nowhere (gotta love monsoon season I guess) lots of lightning too  -We pulled weeds and it was super muddy hahaa - Someone had QUAIL and gave us some pickled quail eggs and also a FAT zucchini. (we made muffins using the zucchini)  - There was a church building in Fruita (nearby city) that was burned down a couple months ago (arsen) and they just announced last night that the church was just going to bulldoze the property and not rebuild it for a couple years.... That was sad news but its okay.  And my FAVORITE part of this week was teaching Neena. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith and she was just in awe. We asked if she believed it, and she said she did so we invited her to be baptized. She picked her own date (August 15th) and she was so excited ...

Thoughts on bees...

This week was crazy long. but today I just want to tell you about some bees I don't like bees. They are loud and they sting and we eat their vomit.... Nasty. They are just not my favorite bug at all.  Someone in our ward is a beekeeper. He was showing all the 8-11 year old girls how the honey was made, and we were invited (because inwardly, we are 8 years old). He showed us the bee boxes, and explained how they worked. A couple things I learned: All the bees you see are female. The male bees rarely leave the hive Male bees don't have stingers. They have about a 5 mile radius Every batch of honey tastes a little different, depending on the flowers they visited And many other random facts. And you know what? The more I learned about those bees, the less I hated them. At the end, a bee just about flew into my face, but I hardly flinched. They were just happy, little innocent insects minding their own business, working their little butts off and making that honey for us to enjoy. M...
