Going to miss my Boettchers!

Reunited with the old crew

Sandy meets the Temple!

Hi friends and family!

Another day by day weekly:)

Monday: Had a photo shoot by some cool artsy murals downtown! I'll eventually get them from off my camera so you can  see them. Yes yes quite lovely. We also went to Goodwill and picked outfits for each other ha! I dressed Sis E like an old lady and she dressed me like a three year old. A member in the ward owns a punching bag in their basement and we mayyyy or may not have gone over and punched the heck out of it. Teehee.

Tuesday: MLC alllllll day. Highlights include Elder Grossman telling us about how he threw some food at a squirrel on Angel's Landing and made it plummet to its death and Sister Endemann laughing so hard she spit a noodle out at him during lunch. 

Wednesday: Had a lesson with a lady who met with missionaries a year ago or so. She pounded us with so many deep questions our brains hurt afterward. Had a really good dinner and lesson with Sandy at a members house! She is so happy happy.

Thursday: We helped our librarian and worked on our training about how to work with members for Zone Meeting. 

Friday: Had Zone Meeting in Lexington! We had an early meeting with the DLs and ZLs. Our training went pretty well I think. Everyone is getting pumped up to work with members. It's the way to GO! After the meeting, we grabbed all our sisters and took them to a Mongolian grill! It's been so long since Ive been to a place like that! Then we went to anoooother meeting (STL training) with the Assistants. Went home and attempted to weekly plan. Sooo brain dead by the end. We had dinner with some members and I dont even know what happened hahaha. 

Saturday: Crazy day! Our stake was having a temple trip and Sandy wanted to go. So we got a ride up there and let her enjoy it. We planned her baptism, had a lesson, reviewed her interview questions, ordered pizza, walked outside the temple, took pictures, and even sat in the waiting room for a few minutes. It was so special to be there with her.

Sunday: I love being companions with Sister Endemann. She's really helping me open up and be myself more. Being vulnerable is NOT one of my favorite things, but she makes me do it. For example, this man was chainsawing huge branches in his front lawn when we pulled up. We offered to help and I wasn't surprised when he said no--no one ever does let two girls in dresses help with manual labor for some reason, although they will laugh at you. That did not faze Sis E. She just marched over there and started hauling wood. There was nothing the guy could do, so there we went! I want to be more courageous like that:)

Love you!
