To the best Friends and Family a person could hope for,
The title for this week came from Elder Leavitt as he was
cooking a fried egg. He saw a white part coming out of the yoke and he said
"That's the umbilical cord of the chicken!" After a moment's pause, I
replied "Everything about that statement is wrong." He started
laughing really hard after that as he thought about it. It was pretty funny.
Like every other week, this week's been great! The sun
finally came out! We had a high of like 45! If it gets any hotter, I'll be
drowning in sweat and heat. Just kidding, but it was good to finally have some
of the snow start to melt. I can't wait until spring and summer. I've been told
its super beautiful, and I'm excited. I've also been told there some really
nice hiking trails. So I can't wait for a P-day that is warm enough to hike
one.
We found two new people to teach. Their names are Jill and
Jessie Bough, and they are super nice! I just love them. Jessie's super funny
and I really hope they continue progressing. I went on an exchange with my
district leader, Elder Johnson, on Friday. A funny thing that happened then was
when we knocked on a door and we heard a kid's voice yell after he peeked out
the window, "Mom, It's the mormon people!" In the moment, I thought
it was pretty funny. Especially after the door opened and a large man answered,
with the little kid peeking out from behind his leg. Super cute. Other than that, it's not been that eventful
of a week.
One thing that I've realized while out is that everyone is
struggling with something. Whether member or non member, everyone has something
that is hard in their life. Whether it's a recent death in the family, or
something health related, or a struggling relationship. Or maybe it's
depression and anxiety, loneliness, or being stretched too thin. My invitation to you this week is to pray
about someone that you can help and try to do something nice for them, to ease
their burden. I promise as you try to look for an help others needs, your own
burdens will be lessened. Ironically as we look outward, and forget ourselves,
we find ourselves and receive more happiness in our lives. God lovers each and
everyone of you and wants that happiness for you that lies in store when you
care for others.
What do you call a lazy baby kangaroo?
A pouch potato! Not really a potato joke, but nonetheless, I
thought it was funny.

temple, after we went to a fireside in the visiters center

pretty fast!
3. Pretty funny bumper sticker. Sorry for those who might
get offended
