I am so jealous of your HP pajama party!
I
got different boots than Sister Jara. Mine are cuter! (As cute as
winter boots can get!) They are from Bass and hers were from Columbia.
We do have a lot of snow. Sometimes our car gets "grounded" which means that we can't drive because it's too snowy on the roads.
Last
Monday for Pday we went to eat at Cafe Rio (so good!) and a woman paid
for our meals! She was so sweet. She said that she would pay if we would
come talk to her and her daughter, who is preparing for a mission.
Then I got my hair cut...in a
real salon! A member cut it for free. It was nice. It felt so good to
get rid of those split ends and straighten out my bangs. haha
Casey, Courtney and Sis Jara |
Cortney
and Casey surprised Sister Jara and I by picking us up at Walmart. They
took me to get some new warm winter boots and then said they had a
surprise for us! They took us to "Color Me Mine" which is a place with a
bunch of white ceramics, like plates or objects in the shapes of dogs
or whatever. You pick out whatever you want and you paint it and they
put it in the kiln and you get it back in a couple of days. We had so
much fun! and they paid! They are so great.
I colored a Sunflower! |
Last Friday, I got an email
from a girl that came into the Family Tree a couple of weeks ago. She is
a non-member from California. She said the sweetest things! She wrote
about how she wants to surround herself with people like me and that she
wants to come closer to God and get on the right path. Hopefully I can
start teaching her through email. She said she wants to travel the world
with me when I am done with my mission. haha. She's my kind of girl!!
On Saturday, Sister Jara woke
up at 4 a.m. and said, "Sister Wall..." and miraculously, I woke up
right away. She told me that she was scared because she had a really bad
dream, so I sang her
some songs. haha. That whole Saturday, we were outside tracting! We only stopped
for lunch and for dinner! It was fuh-reeezing. We had a lot of success
though so it was worth it!
On Sunday, we went to the
Christensens for dinner and Family Home Evening. We spent an hour or so
with Cortney and Casey and the family. When we had to leave, Sister Jara
was so sad because they are one of our favorite families and she is sad
to leave them.
It was a good week!
