Monday 9/28/15 - today was my P-Day - emails between you and me were awesome but not between me and Sabrina because she was too busy being awesome haha. So today we had a zone activity BBQ at Goleta Beach Park and then we went to UCSB in Isla Vista to go to a big field and play frisbee and it wa so awesome, haha. Total college town :) Sorority homes everywhere and just yeah, super duper cool and fun - and frisbee was fun. I forget to take pictures haha oops. Anyways, then we went and had dinner with the K's and it was awesome. They are an awesome family, they have a baby daughter though who is deaf, it was solo heart breaking :( Then we went and saw J and pretty much just set up a return appointment so that was lame, but yeah, today was pretty fun for the most part - and UCSB is awesome.
Tuesday 9/29/15 - Today we did a lot so I am having a hard time remembering what I did. We had a lesson with L which is always good except for the fact that she started smoking again, freaking lame :( Then we went an dmet MW who is JW's daughter (the guy who gave me the book about his life) and she was super duper funny, hopefully we start teaching her. Then we went to PV's which is always cool. Then we went and visited Sister S who is awesome. Just a super nice funny old lady, she talked our ears off! Then we came back to our apartment and had a super short dinner because we had to go help the B's move! So we stayed there and helped until 7:00pm because we then had a lesson with the J's which of course they didn't show up to, dang, so annoying. So instead we went and had an awesome meeting with the Bishop and came up with a lot of ideas on how to get the ward more involved with missionary work! So yeah, that was my day - oh and when I was writing in my journal Elder Willis like almost blew up our apartment! haha - he stuck a knife on like an electrical wire and it like blew up and all our power went off, haha, it was super duper funny :) anyways, that was my exciting day!
Wednesday 9/30/15 - Hi mommy :) I love you :) How is the rest of the fam bam? Today was cool because we did lots of service and I decided that I hate finding people to teach and I hate teaching gin general so yeah, service is totally way awesome and yea :) I wish I could do more all the time. So we had to leave studies early to go finish helping the B's move from like 10-1 then we went to the D's to finish helping them and they fed us some Rusty's Pizza which was cool. And then while doing service we found this huge freaky any looking thing and it's nasty and you know me haha of course that means I caught it :) so now it is our pet in our apartment (which is technically against the rules) and it is eating some cheerios, pretty cool, huh? I have pictures I will send - anyways, so after doing service we went and had a lesson with L which is always cool. If only she would quit breaking the commandments :) Then we had dinner with Sister K and she and Elder Willis went off on a tangent about "spirit energies" haha weird. Then somehow motorcycles got brought up so then she went off on a tangent about that saying I was selfish to drive a motorcycle and stuff, yank, classic mom stuff :) Then after we went and tried seeing KR but he is being lame right now so that didn't work out so then we went home early to finish our studies and yeah, if i could do this much service everyday then that would be totally awesome. If only if only, right? I probably should have left a note letting them know teaching is not my thing but oh well too late now I guess :) and who knows it probably wouldn't have changed much, right? Anyways hopefully your day was awesome - I love you!
Thursday 10/1/15 - Today we had a lesson with L and Sister M came with and we talked about the atonement and it went really good. Then we went and met this E guy and he was pretty cool! Loved talking though that's for sure, haha. Then we met with MT which is always cool! Oh and today I saw a spider! Yano the three wheel cars all over Draper? So that was cool! Anyway, then we went to the H's for dinner and they have the cutest daughters, a 5 year old and then a set of twins who are 3! They all sang us songs after dinner and it was seriously so so cute!

Then we had a lesson with L which went really good because Brother N was there and pretty much just told her what she needed to do and yeah, it went really good! Then we went to dinner with the U's. Then we went to se S and give him the emergency info he asked us for and when we got there he was watching the BYU game haha, it made me really miss watching sports and competing and all that fun stuff, haha, so that sucks but oh well.

Then we went to the Stake Center to watch General Conference which was awesome then after the morning session we all went to lunch together and then we watched the afternoon session which was awesome of course. Then after that we went and had a lesson with L and she is on the border of giving up, super sad, but the lesson went good so we will see. Then we went to Priesthood Session which was awesome of course :) But made me really miss going with dad haha, I guess you just don't realize what you have until it is gone! So I'm excited to come home in two years and go with the family again :) Anyways, then we had dinner with the D's which was cool, they fed us really yummy Chinese food so that was cool :) and yeah!

Then the L's fed us lunch which was cool haha but then we were totally late to the afternoon session, haha, we missed like half of Elder Christofferson's talk so that sucks but oh well! Then we went home after that and did our studies and had dinner and I just took a nap because a) I was super tired and B) I'm getting fat :) haha - then we went and met with Brother N and he was like actually bummed that I was leaving, haha, made me feel special :) Had a ton of nice things to say like I'm mature for my age :) and he left me with a prayer to bless me and yeah, it was very nice of him and yeah, I'm gonna miss him - he is a good Ward Mission Leader!!

I did not like it nope nope nope! Anyways so then we finished signing each other's shout out journals after that whole dealio.
