The Weather Here is Beautiful!

​Good news, folks! The weather here is beautiful! It's been slightly hot during the day, but I am happy to report that it finally cools down at night! And our morning runs have actually been quite chilly! It's kind of strange actually. 

We started our week off on the right foot though, and went to Applebee's for dinner on Monday night. Then we treated ourselves to ice cream, and some facials! (Which I seriously debated sending pictures of...) But it was a relaxing, fun start to a work filled week! 

Ice cream...

...and facials!!!

This week Sister Mellor and I did some service for Tonya! We mowed her lawn and cleaned up her leaves, and it took a big chunk of our Saturday, but it was good work. I also got to teach Sister Mellor how to use a push mower, which I found to be quite humorous, because yard work is certainly not something I ever imagined myself teaching. Ha!

That night we also went back and taught Tonya the first part of the Plan of Salvation, and it was a really good lesson! She asked us some great questions about life and how she always thought that there just had to be something before this life. So we were able to answer her questions and give her new knowledge, and it went great! We're excited to go back and finish the lesson with her, because I have a feeling she will really like the second part of the Plan as well. She also really liked that we referred to it as the Plan of Happiness! And well, it really truly is. How great is it, that we know how we can have eternal happiness with those we love? :) 

Brighton ended up not being able to come to church yesterday because of another appointment :(  But we did get to see a couple we met a few weeks ago! They are Lori and David, and have recently been married. They are friends with our Stake President. Lori is a member and is just starting to come back to church, and David is not a member but is interested!! They requested to have us teach them, and David has said that they are planning to have us over for dinner soon! They're great and that is exciting! 

On Thursday, we walked to the park and drew with chalk! At the end of it, we made some new friends who came over to draw with us! Two of the little girls started looking at my name-tag and decided to write my name all over. And then they wrote Jesus Christ's name, too. I thought it was pretty cute :)

We also found out that Mamma Dudley is in the hospital :(  The sweet Black's took us to go visit her, and so we got to talk and sing a hymn for her. We hope she starts feeling better soon though, and have been praying for her. 

Also, in my last update I forgot to write that Sister Mellor and I totally won a cute squirrel at BINGO. And yes, yes we were very proud of ourselves :) 

Take care y'all!
