Life continues, even when you're sick - October 12, 2015

Hello, all!!

So, Monday we were at the Comtes. We had a chill p-day, played games, and had a party. I was sick, so things took a little longer than we would have liked, but, so is the life of a sick missionary. We also finished Conference -- so we got 3 days of it- - and it was fabulous! My favorite talk was probably -- actually, I really can't decide. All the talks I thought were amazing go as follows (not necessarily in this order) Uchtdorf, Maynes, Marriott, Lawrence, Hales, Holland, Oakes, Monson, Rasband, Stevenson, Renlund, Nelson, Christofferson, Durrant, Haynie,Clark, and Bednar. So, basically all of conference :)

Tuesday we had the fellowship feast (dinner together), at the Rolfe's, and the Sloughs came, and we had a fun little party getting to know each other. We had fajitas, homemade, and they were fabulous:)

Wednesday, we had a split, took the wrong train coming back (good job, Sister Montgomery), and were late to our appointment with the Pullans. Because it was going the wrong direction, and we had to wait for the next train. Thankfully, they didn't mind, and everything else went well. It was fun :)

Thursday, Zumba was canceled, so we went over to the Comtes, because she'd signed us onto base, and ended up cleaning their house -- in half an hour. I was quite impressed. Then we went to a "german class" appointment. It was my first time teaching solo -- Sister Funk didn't know what all we were doing, but she helped where we could. We basically reviewed everything we'd already taught her -- and later, Sister Fink said I'm a really good teacher. That made me feel good. She also said that we do a lot of service and it's evident how much we love the people by how much we serve. That was an eye opener. I had never thought how much service we do.

Friday, we were at the Ashles for dinner. It was hectic, -- her friend was in the hospital having a baby, so she was watching the older daughter, and we helped clean the house, and we helped make some Asian dish. It was yummy. We revised Sister Ashles family mission plan with her, and she took stuff from "the family, a proclamation to the world," and it was really cool how she found ideas from that. Sister Ashle's amazing :)

Saturday, we helped the Comtes clean some of their stuff out, and Bobby cooked dinner. It was absolutely fabulous. He cooked a roast, scalloped sweet potatoes in a cream sauce, home made Mac and Cheese, stuffing, and a couple other dishes. I wish I had a picture, but sadly, I didn't get one this time around. 

Sunday, we had dinner with the Ayalins. She's German, and he's a convert, they met on a blind date of some sort or another. It was s super cute story :) I love our ward

 Love ya, family! I hope everything is going well. I'm excited to hear from you about all your fun stories.

Have a good week!
