It looks like winter is on its way to WA. The skies have been gray every morning for the last little while. Though the sun still manages to make an appearance. I'm not going to lie I'm excited for the rain. I got a short taste of the drizzle on Fridayand people weren't lying when they told me I wouldn't really even get wet. I'm weird and looking forward to winter.
This week was a pretty average week. Nothing too exciting to mention. Though our ward has decided they were allowing us to starve and think over feeding us now will make up for it. (Not that I'm complaining. Our fridge is very full)
We haven't gone a single night without a meal since the beginning of last week and its the same straight through until at least the end of the month! Its so great because we're finally meeting more of the members. We had one elderly couple who due to some health problems had to change their diet so they gave us pretty much everything they couldn't eat. We now how pork chops and various other things to eat if we are ever without a meal.
Friday we had interviews with President Blatter and exchanges with the Sister Training Leaders. Interviews were at 10 amand went pretty smoothly. I love the Blatters. They are super sweet and you can tell they really love assisting with the Lord's work. They're an inspiration. (Sister Blatter of course took a number of pictures so they should be on the mission blog by now.)
Our music standards have changed a little so that's sweet. Now on top of listening to Christian music composed and performed by LDS members we can also listen to classical music from composers like Beethoven, Bach, and Debussy! I'm super excited about that. They just have to be the original composition.
Last transfer Sister Sandau and I had to go to Leschwab because our front right tire kept going flat. Turned out there was a nail in the tire. They fixed it up and all was good. At the beginning of this transfer the same tire started going flat again. So while I was in Elma on exchanges Friday Sister Lechuga took the car back to get fixed. It had ANOTHER nail in the same tire! Apparently the guy that fixed it was the same as last time and he thought it was very weird.
So as I mentioned we had exchanges this week. I was supposed to stay in Olympia with Sister Gehring while Sister Lechuga went to Elma. Last minute Thursday night the Sister Training Leaders texted saying that plans had changed. So I packed my bags and we met with the sisters for lunch right after interviews. Turns out Sister Gehring had just worded the text funny and had meant that her and Sister Julien were switching who was going where. Since I was the one packed I went to Elma. It was nice. We parked the car as soon as we arrived at their apartment and walked the rest of the day. I'm not sure how my legs didn't feel it the next day. It was fun though. We met a few really sweet people and had plenty of fun sharing the greatest thing possible.
Upon returning from exchanges we helped our apartment manager repair/seal up her RV. It was super fun climbing up on the top. We resealed every single part of the roof. No more leaks for that thing.
We were suppose to be having a baptism on the 28th for Becky but there were some scheduling conflicts with the stake people and none of the Bishopric would have been able to attend so we will have to push the baptism to October 12th. I was kind of bummed and a little frustrated since Becky had chosen the date herself but then we realized that this means her two daughters could potentially be baptized on the same day! That made me excited. It also allows us a little more time to prepare since this week will be extremely busy and we are losing a day in Olympia as we are going to Zion's Camp for a missionary training of sorts. I don't really know what it is but I've heard lots of good things from older missionaries so I'm pumped.
I'm also way excited for the General Women's Conference on Saturday! How great is it that we get to hear from God's living prophet and many others called of God to help lead us and provide us with guidance! Its super great in my opinion. I hope you all get the chance to watch it this weekend and of course the Saturday and Sunday sessions next week (Oct 4th and 5th)
I think that about wraps it up. I hope you all are doing well. I know that God has a plan and purpose for each one of us. All we have to do to know it is ask Him!
Love you all!
