The Drayton Valley sisters
are too far away to drive in for district meeting,
so they FaceTime in. |
The His Hands concerts have been flippin awesome! Every night the
audience gets a little bigger. At our performance last night the
missionaries there ushering people couldn't even come sit down in the
chapel it was so full. It's really been cool to talk to people and
hear what it's like for them to listen. It's such a spiritually packed
program, we feel it every time, but it's cool to look out and watch
other people feel it for the first time. We still don't have a single
picture or recording. So sorry. We're for sure recording the whole
thing at the end of the month though. Don't fret.

At the last concert I got to meet a girl that I met with Sister
Heredia 5 months ago for a couple minutes at an LRT station. She
noticed that my skirt had pockets and commented on how her dress had
pockets too. We talked for a several minutes about how all
dresses/skirts should have pockets haha Eventually we started talking
about gospel-y things when an old coworker of hers came up and kind of
stole the conversation. I ended up just handing her a card with
mormon.org on it. MIRACLE she actually looked at the card! She talked
to missionaries on mormon.org, eventually met the missionaries in her
area and poof she got baptized. Holy awesome sauce! Her name is
Lucille and she is absolutely incredible. Now she goes out with the
missionaries all the time and her boyfriend is talking to the
missionaries and she's thinking about going on a mission. MY GOODNESS
I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY. She and I decided that skirt is a miracle
skirt and I will either frame it and hang it on the wall or give it to
my daughters when they go on a mission.

We went and studied with the Greenfield sisters on Saturday |
Melodie came to church this week and she loved it! We got to the
church about 15 minutes early to wait in the foyer for her. 15 minutes
into sacrament meeting we still hadn't seen her, so wwent and sat in
the chapel feeling pretty sad that she hadn't come. When the meeting
was almost over, I casually looked over my shoulder and Melodie was
sitting right there! She had gotten there like 20 minutes early and
just been sitting in the chapel waiting for us! Note to self, always
check the chapel first.
Jasmine and Chantel came to church this week as well! AND Anthony
taught Gospel Principles for the first time! When we talked to Jasmine
yesterday, she said that Anthony's lesson was her favorite part of
church! Jasmine and Chantel were a little miffed that so many people
were on their phones all through church. It was a good reminder to me
how important it is to be focused during church. For sake of respect
to the speaker, to the Spirit and really to the house of the Lord. I
definitely have a renewed passion for being focused during church.

Just some post-concert ice cream. |
The lesson in Relief Society was about "cultivating an attitude of
happiness and a spirit of optimism." That's literally one of my
favorite things to talk about. Sister Van Vleet used to write on any
whiteboard she ever saw "choose to be happy." TRUTH. Our outlook on
anything is our choice. I remember finding a picture once upon a time
that was a fake cartoon newspaper with the main article heading saying
something along the lines of "A kitten was born today!" as well as a
bunch of side articles like "thousands of planes landed safely." Just
be happy man. It's way better.
Peace and Blessings

P.S. Before every concert we always do your usual musical warm-up kind
of things, but to really build our energy, it's become tradition to
also play a game of ninja before we head to the chapel. If you don't
know how to play ninja ask the closest 14 year old. On Sunday, we all
our took our ninja poses and Elder Chadwick ended up half-way across
the room trying to kind of hide in the corner. We all laughed and then
I kind of forgot he was over there. I successfully avoided a ninja
attack by Elder Nethercott and was revelling in my success and trying
to decide whether or not it was my turn next when Elder Chadwick leapt
across the room for a sneak attack. Well I lost that hand and the next
immediately after because I was too distracted from the sneak attack.
Sister Waite and I were watching everyone try and smack each other's
hands when President Pattison walked in. Everyone playing kind of
extra froze for a second and Elder Chadwick was still on the ground
from his sneak attack. President's first words were "I always thought
you guys were in here practicing before! Now I know what's goin on!"
Hahahaha We were all dying. Sister Waite and I explained how ninja
works while everyone else resumed play.
