Roasty Toasty


Good news everyone, it has been above 100 all week and I haven't died yet. That wouldn't be saying much, if we had air conditioning.... Our apartment is currently 87 degrees and it's totally awesome. On the bright side, we had a tri-stake fast for rain yesterday. So we'll be getting rain here pretty soon:) 


Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you all did something exciting, we as missionaries just read about Captain Moroni and his awesome feats in protecting the liberty of HIS people... And just how this land was chosen to always be a land of freedom. Captain Moroni is one of my favorite heroes of all time. Just to reiterate what kind of person he was, I give you Alma 48:17- "If all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men." 

I think that speaks for itself. No commentary necessary. 

Anyway, I hope you are all staying safe and drinking lots of water (the latter is my mom's advice that I'm struggling to follow......) 

and answer this question:
Would you rather not brush your hair or not brush your teeth for the rest of your life? 

Enjoy some random pictures!!
One of them is us at the Grand Junction temple site!!!

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...
