Week 47
Hola!
Update: Idaho is still on fire so that's cool. But don't worry, we are safe and sound here in paradise :-)
We had 2 awesome lessons with Glen this week! He admitted that he believes the Word of Wisdom is from God and he knows he needs to give up smoking!! Whooo!! That's huge for Glen!! And he committed to give up a pot of coffee (so now he'll only drink 4 pots a day instead of 5 lolol)
Funny story. So we were having a lesson with Carolyn and her dog was sitting on my lap (even though I tried to get her off many times...stubborn dog) and the dog peed on my skirt and it smelled SO BAD!! We were in Cascade so we couldn't go home (30 mins drive) so we had to come up with a quick solution.
Prepare to be amazed by the genious idea that we came up with. I had a tide stick and some purfume that I went to town with and then hung my skirt out the window as we drove. We looked ridiculous as heck but i thought it was hilarious. Desperate times call for desperate measures 😂
There's a restaurant here called The Pancake House that's famous for their GIANT cinnamon rolls. We decided to try one on Saturday and it did not disappoint! All 3 of us shared one and we still had leftovers haha! Pics to come!
On Sunday we were asked to teach Gospel Doctrine with a 20 second notice hahahahaha oh gosh. Gospel Doctrine intimidates me. Like so much lol. I'm 20 years old and know only the basics (cuz ya know, missionary over here...its my job to teach the basics)
So that's what we did! We taught the plan of salvation and it was a train wreck but we smiled through it :)))
"Just as the Savior offers peace that “passeth all understanding,” He also offers an intensity, depth, and breadth of joy that defy human logic or mortal comprehension. For example, it doesn’t seem possible to feel joy when your child suffers with an incurable illness or when you lose your job or when your spouse betrays you. Yet that is precisely the joy the Savior offers. His joy is constant, assuring us that our “afflictions shall be but a small moment” and be consecrated to our gain."
