Hellooo!
Oh geeez. I don't even know where to start this week.
I forgot to follow up with you on the tour with Elder Golden. It was AMAZING! He is incredible! To answer your questions..no. I did not get interviewed..BUT I was asked to bear my testimony at the end of the conference, for the whole mission. and Elder Golden. No big deal. AHHH I wanted to throw up. Whats new..I know. But after all was said and done..it was an incredible experience and opportunity I will never forget. I am so grateful for that invitation. I took lots of notes and learned so much. The main thing I walked away with..is WHERE IS YOUR FAITH! and TRUST IN THE LORD. We hear these things ALL the time, but when you're doing what the Lord wants you to..we just need to relax and stop worrying. EVERYTHING will work. We just need to TRUST!
I've been praying my entire time in Skyline for a member's less active son who has been in and out of jail and is just a hot mess. Last night, we were teaching his girl friend(who is not a member) and the son just happened to be there (as he is out of jail) We had the most powerful spiritual experience. The father bore his testimony and the son was in tears, as were we. He had never had the opportunity to share these things with his son (who is adopted). We set the girlfriend for bbaptism in January and after the lesson the son thanked us and said he couldn't wait until Saturday (our next lesson) Miracles are definitely happening in Skyline!! I called President and told him all about it and then he asked me if I had any questions..and I said yes. Just one. What are the chances of me staying in Skyline for another transfer?? He laughed..and said..not very good, but keep praying! :)
Ok, so Thanksgiving?? WHAT A TRIP!! Me. Sister Unice. The Furr Family. Single mother with 10 adopted special needs children. Craziest day of my life. I have some pictures I'll send. It was so fun! --Thanks for the Dixie Salad :) One of the boys hated me. Everything I said he would roll his eyes. I was trying to figure out how to make their ice machine make ice..and I was talking to my companion and I said " how do I make the ice??" the kid came up to me and he was like.."ARE YOU SERIOUS?? YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE ICE??? I don't know why God made girls, they don't know ANYTHING!" haha my laughing didn't really help the situation. BUT on the other hand..one of the other boys kept signing to me that I was his girlfriend and followed me everywhere. and yes. we have lots of pictures together. :)
I met a guy that went to clown school. and has his "clown degree". For reals? He showed me his licence. "Tickles the Clown". gross. He also attends a clown convention once a year. Where everyone goes in their git up. This is a thing I think I would enjoy attending.....
AND before I forget..or Kim sends me another email in ALL CAPS RAGE :) .. here are the Christmas deets....
For Christmas this year any of things would be GREAT...
Bobby Brown Make up (mom knows what I like...)
Jillian Michael's work out DVD's

You can send stuff to the Bartletts, where you've been sending stuff... but Transfers are on Dec 20. So anything sent after the 17th, needs to go to Mission Office, because who knows where I'll be!
