The Green Beast is Back!

Okay y'all, so last pday was a little crazy so I didn't get to send an email to tell y’all about my week. So today you get two emails! Yay! 

So burrrrrr. It got super cold this week. You know what that means. My green beast of a coat has officially come out of the closet. So get ready for pictures all season long that will look like I'm wearing the same exact thing. 

Lots of highlights this week. To start I got to go to the temple with Shanell this week. Man alive I love that girl. Even though we had to give her over to Boise and couldn't see her baptism, it made me so happy that we could at least see her in the temple. Also, I got to see my number one Sister Maschino again so that was a plus.

We had an amazing lesson with my friend Sarah this week. Whenever you get a new companion it takes you a second to get into your groove and teach well together. ANDERSON AND I FOUND OUR GROOVE! It made me so happy. We both walked out of their just elated. 

I got to volunteer at the Meridian's Winter Parade (which is basically just as big of a deal as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade so I'm not even upset anymore that I couldn't see that *said through tears). It was so fun! We got to be the ones that would tell the kids *cough adults* to step back so the parade could come through. In Idaho, missionaries are basically famous, so there were definitely times where I felt like I was part of the parade because these kids would just yell "missionary missionary". It was funny and great. 

Last highlight. Saturday, Dec 1st, was the kick off to “Light the World” with the day of service. And serve we did. We started by going to one of our wards breakfast parties and helped take things down afterward. Then we went to a retirement home and served them lunch and talked to them for a while... scratch that... really long time. They really like to talk. They said the funniest things to us. So Sister Hansen (another sister missionary in our apartment) has dwarfism and seriously the number of confused faces and funny comments we got from these people was just hysterical. Sister Hansen was cracking up. I think when you’re old, you can pretty much say whatever you want and everyone will just find it funny or endearing. We ended the day of service at Sarah's house decluttering the heck out of it. It was so much fun. She's a hoot. 

Welp I think that is all. Hope you have a good week and continue to light the world in small ways!
