This was another good week! We had a
few interesting things happen this week. On Friday we went to dinner with the
Beeston family (YSA - 4 kids in the YSA - they are awesome!), the thing that
was different this time is they asked me to cook! Elder Bradley told them on
Sunday that I could cook so they had us over and told me I could make anything I
wanted to and they would go get the ingredients. So, I decided to make twice
baked potatoes and broccoli cheese soup!
My family sent me the recipes and on
Friday we showed up to cook! I was surprised when I got there, instead of
feeding 6 of us there were 11 people! I have never cooked for that many people
before but of course that was fine! It ended up being the Beeston's, their
older brother and his wife, a girl I have never met, the other YSA elders, and
the two of us! It was really fun! It took me forever to get all of that cooked
(Steven Beeston helped me while everyone else went and played croquet), but in
the end it actually turned out pretty well! I had never cooked the potatoes
before so I was a little nervous but everything actually turned out great! It
was probably the best soup I've ever made before and the potatoes worked really
well! We had a great time over there, as always, and it was really fun to have
that experience!
Our church schedule changed this
week. The YSA changed the meeting time from 11 to 1. Yep, so now we can go to
all of both wards. We show up at 8 for meetings, and then our deaf branch
starts at 9. After that, we do all of the tithing and the welfare and then we
have just enough time to get to the U of A institute for the YSA ward to start
at 1. Then, after all of those meetings we still had more meetings and we ended
up leaving church sometime after 5! So, only 9 hours of church! ha-ha. But
don't worry; we did have that 15 minute drive in the middle that gave us a
little break! ha-ha. Actually, I do really like it! It isn't that bad to go to
that much church! I don't think I will
ever complain again that the three hours of church is super long!
Yesterday, when we got home, we had
a huge monsoon that came through and knocked out our power for an hour and a
half, so we just kind of hung out in the apartment and each took a nap! ha-ha.
What is sad is that after I took an hour nap at 6 at night, I could still go
back to sleep at 11! Crazy! That was basically it for this week; it was slower
because of transfers and a few other things that happened! But it was good! I
hope everything is going well with all of you!
