Hello!!
I was just thinking..its about this time of year that Dad forgets to shave for several weeks at a time. Sooo DAD! It's time to start growing your santa beard. You grow yours and I'll grow mine. :)
This week has been AMAZING! It seems like I say that a lot..but it's TRUE! We set a darling girl for baptism on December 10! She can't wait. WEEE can't wait! :) She is friends with a couple girls in our ward. She is 17 and has led a pretty rough life. She has found peace and comfort as she comes to church and she feels at home. Of course she does! THIS IS HOME!
In Relief Society they had these two girls sing "When He Comes Again" and I started bawling my eyes out. It totally reminded me of Kimi's Farewell. And I started missing my family..BIG TIME! BUT don't worry, its not the first time. Good thing Heavenly Father has been blessing us with so many teaching opportunities to keep me busy and focused!
Elder Golden of the Seventy is coming to speak to our mission tomorrow!! I'm so excited! He is going to interview 3 missionaries. I want to be one of the missionaries so bad! What an incredible experience that would be. I have been preparing ALL week for this conference. He is also going to do a training for all the leaders...( trainers included ) so I get to be apart of that too!
I got my boots and a big fatty coat so now I'm a LITTLE bit more ok with winter rolling around. :) I can't believe it still hasn't snowed yet..BUT i"M SOOO OK WITH IT.
I know cross dressing is frowned upon..but seriously, sometimes I think it would be SO much easier if we were in white shirts and ties... because that = mormons. Two girls in long skirts= Jehovah's Witness's. SO ANNOYING. Everyone and their dog thinks we're JW..even when we introduce ourselves and MISSIONARIES from THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST of LATTER DAY SAINTS. Maybe this is something I will suggest to my Mission President... :)
Walked 5 miles in my little cowboy boots. bad idea.
You know its time..WAY passed time..when your less active says:
" oh sister atkin! girrrl when yous get a weave???"
me: haha I didn't!
" sister atkin! yous cannot lie to me! yous an angel of God and you gots yoself a weave!"
me: listen, annette...I don't have time to get a weave..nor the $$$ I just REALLY need a haircut... ( then I let her check out my hair..)
"sister atkin..girrrl. yous have GOT ta git yer hurrs cut."
aaand this is the story of my life. and I love it.
The gospel of Jesus Christ not only blesses lives, but it changes lives. Rory is a man that was recently baptized in our ward and his story is INCREDIBLE. There is no way he would still be here if he hadn't met the missionaries. His story is touching and it is real. Check it out.. http://mormon.org/me/52T0/
I love and miss you all so much!
Make someones day today..
Sister Atkin
