Week 66: Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you mother's out there! It was wonderful to

see my mom, and family! I can't believe that this was the last time

that I get to skype them before I come home. I never thought this time

would come. It just always seemed so far away.

Weekly planning

Bubbles are always fun.

My week was so good! On Friday we went to the Jonny Miller fireside.

Do you know who he is? I didn't. Apparently he is the Tiger Woods of

the 70's, and is best friends with President Taylor. I did not really

get much out of the fireside, but I got to see my people! I also got

to see Brother and Sister Ball! It was such a surprise! I love them so

much.

4 Generations...Sister Slattery, Sister Mandin, Sister Arbon, Sister Twitchell

I LOVE Sister Ball!

Then on Saturday we had the opportunity to go back to the Columbia River

Ward for Ronny and Jeremiah's baptism! Backstory.... Sister Stephens

taught Debbie (Ronny's wife) when she was serving there. In her

confirmation blessing she was promised she would have an eternal

family. Fast forward to when I was there I got to teach Ronny and

Jeremiah. It was so wonderful to go back and see them!! It was such a

special day. Then later that day we got to speak at this child of

record baptism, then the family took us out to Chinese food.

Baptism Happiness!

On Sunday I got to skype home! At church the young men passed out

tulips to all the women 18 and older, and cards that the primary made.

I love being in the 18 or older club! Then after church the brethren

put together a little luncheon for us. Complete with chocolate

fountain.

Then today we are hiking Mount St. Helens.  I turned back because I

am trying to not over do it with my back. Lots of time in the car today. Zone bonding time I guess.

Hope you have a great week!
