Lake Day...sort of :)

This week wasn’t too eventful, but it was good as always. And I don’t remember most of it haha sorry.

I will try my best.

We had exchanges earlier this week and I was with Sister Leany who was with me in the MTC so that was fun! We biked clot to 20 miles that day. And then for dinner a part member old couple took up to Cicis pizza. I haven’t been there since we lived in Virginia. Its not as good as I remember haha.

Then Wednesday we had greenie graduation. I had to teach all the lessons and then some commandments to other trainers and the APs. It was intimidating but I learned a lot and overall, I think I did pretty good.

This week we have been working on finding people to teach so we have been talking to everyone. We have some really great potentials but its always hard to get that next appointment because they cancel or are busy. AHHH!!! They don’t know what they are missing and it gets so frustrating sometimes!

Friday we had interviews with president. That’s always good. We had them at a place called Muskogee. Its a city about 45 mins from us. So side note, our water here tastes like dirt. We have a filter tank thing that we fill up so its not so bad. At the Muskogee building I got a drink from the drinking fountain and almost gagged. Like dirt water isn’t that bad but this was like actual dirt with some water mixed in. I cant believe how tasty it was. No water should have that much flavor. Yeah but then I was like "there are kids in Africa that don’t even have water so stop complaining" so yeah I was grateful after that.

Saturday the Animal Shelter finally called us back and they said we passed background checks and could start volunteering there! We took a tour and got to play with some of the animals. I am excited for that and it will sure beat cleaning shelves at goodwill although I still think we will do that every now and again too. And the officer lady there said that her husband meets with the missionaries in the other ward all the time. (maybe he’s a less active?) but she could totally be a potential. We shall see!

A family in our ward (the cooks) went on vacation to South Dakota and Montana (cause thats where Brother Cook served his mission) and they asked us to collect their eggs from their chickens while they were gone! I love fresh eggs! Its been fun to do that.

What’s also cool is that this weekend we are planning a big grill off and inviting everyone. Its going to be at this beautiful cabin place (the grandparents of someone in our ward) and they used to rent it out for weddings and such. Ill take pictures. It will be cool. We are focusing it around missionary work so the members are supposed to bring non member friends.

And then yesterday for labor day we went to this park in a city called Haskell and it had a little lake and sand volleyball and was pretty cool. We grilled burgers and played games and stuff. It was a lot of fun. I really wanted to swim in the lake but whatever its fine. haha.

Love you all!
