Man, this week… so many stories so
little time. So I will save my craziest one for the end.
Story number 1
Title: They dun got dunk
When: Saturday
Where: Kuna
My dear dear friends Ken and Jannet
got baptized gahhhh! It made me so happy. To top it all off it was Jannet’s
birthday that day and she just kept on saying "you see this is my BIRTHday
and I'm being BORN again. Ha. Get it? It just makes sense." She is so flipping
funny. Man and ... don't tell President... I even got to hug Ken! Ah, it made me
so happy. He said to me after I gave him a handshake "it's a special
occasion you can hug me now" gah I died! I love them:)
Story Number 2
Title: Let’s GLOOOOW!!!!!!!
When: Last Monday
Where: Church Gym
We had the freaking dopest pday last
week. All thanks to yours truly. So we had what was called a district P-day
because everyone else was off on their temple trips and let me tell you
everyone always complains about district P-days because they think they are so
boring. Ha Ha wrong-o. I love district P-days, you just have to put some
thought into it. So I received a package by my dear friend Sara earlier in the
week with a bunch of fun things in it including...wait for it... GLOW STICKS!
So we decided to do a bunch of glow in the dark games. Glow in the dark volleyball, glow in the dark hide and seek, glow in the dark lookout. It was the
best and everyone enjoyed it.
Story Number 3
Title: The invisible trunk
When: Halloween Eve
Where: Church Parking lot
My dear companion is a convert to the
church. She has only been baptized a little over a year. So she had never been
to a trunk or treat before so of course, I had to take her to one. She was
obsessed! Absolutely loved it. When it came to trunks ours was definitely the
best... it was invisible! (remember, we don’t have a car, we are in a biking
area) WOW. We sat in a parking lot and
handed out candy and whenever anyone past our trunk we would scream, wait you
past our car! They would be so confused. Then we would give them some candy and
a Halloween pencil (again thanks to my dear friend Sara). It was the
best.
Story Number 4
Title: Cereal for days
When: Dinner time
Where: Only the best family ever
WE HAD A FREAKING CEREAL BAR FOR
DINNER! what the what??!! it was the best thing ever. Everyone got two bowls
and two cups so we could have chocolate milk and orange juice and two different
types of cereal all at the same time. Needless to say, we love the
Ashtons.
Story Number 5
Title: What's Halloween without a
little blood
When: HALLOWEEN
Where: An innocent looking
neighborhood
So here we were riding our bikes home
for lunch after a great time contacting. Sis Maschino and I were 1 starving 2
freezing so we were so excited to get home. So we were just traveling home and
we saw these gorgeous maple leaves and we love to ride through them because the
crunchy sounds give us joy... they did not give us joy this time. I biffed it
so hard. I as my family would say pulled a big fat Quinn. Man, so there I was
laying on the ground not able to move and out of nowhere this man comes and
says "are you okay". Being so embarrassed I looked up at him and said
no no I'm okay. And he just looked at me and said haha no you are not okay. I
then looked down and I saw a bunch of blood yikes. So they fixed me up and then
took us home. Then Maschino checked for a concussion and I was all good
and so I took some rest. I woke up to a bunch of elders in OUR APARTMENT. They
gave me an amazing blessing and it made me feel so good. Wow, I love the
priesthood. So do not worry about me. I'm all good now just a black eye and a
couple bruises on my face (haha my face broke the fall lol). And now I have a
fear that cannot be tamed of bikes (not really I'm good just a little scared of
leaves now). But the blessing of this is I was wearing my gloves and leggings
so a literally have no scrapes on any other part of my body just my face
haha.
Story Number 6
Title: I all alone there's no one
here beside me
When: A dark dark night
Where: A confusing neighborhood
So here we were again back on the
bikes and it was pitch black. Sis Maschino wanted to see this family to say
goodbye to them and I was totally on board until we got outside. I just kept on
saying to her, Maschino this is so dumb. But alas we went. So I was going
really slow because umm pitch black and fear of bikes haha. But it was freezing
and Maschino is from AZ so she was going really fast. Before I knew it, she was
gone and as much as I yelled her name she never came back. I was a little
nervous to say this least. So here I was in the dark, with no companion, and no
idea where to go, and had a missing contact lens (dang black eye... it's been
making my contacts fall out... I've only completely lost one though). Let’s
just say I was companionless and lost for 20 minutes. It was terrifying. I have
realized that the adjustment of coming home and being without a companion is
going to take me a while.
Man so this has definitely been the
most eventful week of my mission, but I have loved every second of it. Even the
scary ones. As Sister Maschino says it's all part of the mission experience
right.
I hope all of you had some
exciting things happen to you this week. I love you guys so much and stay safe
out there... far away from the maple leaves.
