Hello everyone!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY shoutout to my favorite Dad this past Friday!!!! He's the
best isn't he!?! Love you Popsie!!
And summer is officially over... so weird. It's my first year in 14 years
not going to school this fall.... It's weird but.. can't complain because
I'm a missionary!!!
Well it was another awesome week in Mt. Airy! a few of the highlights
were....
-The ward ice cream social on Tuesday! SO yum. and our investigator Lanay
came and brought her 3 little kids and LOVED it. The ward was sooo great
and so welcoming. It was such a fun night of ice cream, blowing bubbles and
chalking the whole parking lot! the bad news... they gave us the left over
ice cream and I have gained another chin this week. oops.
-We got to go to the temple visitors center with an Investigator Patty!
That was a good time! Temple twice in 2 weeks! Whammy. We watched the
Joseph Smith movie and she wants to go back! So cool!
-We got to help Judy with her project again and that was a fun time. I wish
you could all know Judy. She's the type of person that when we take a
picture, she'll flat out be like "oh! you looked awful in that one". I love
that about her. She's a fun time.
-Sister Rodgers took us out to lunch to California Tortilla. That was a
real treat.
-We got to meet with Phyllis and her 50 cats and bear of a dog. Always the
best.
-We went on exchanges! Sister Holden, from Ogden who I met through
instagram (i'm pathetic I know... get over it) before coming out, came and
spent a couple days in Mt. Airy with me and it was the best thing ever. She
is the funnest person and I loved every minute with her. We have so much in
common.. it's freaky.
-We got to go spend time with Sister Hadry and oh my goodness. She just
melted my heart. She basically just sat there and told me how much she
loves me. She would look at Sister Holden and be like.. "I don't mean to
hurt your feelings sister but me and sister emery just have a special
connection".
-Dinner with the Safsten's last night. They are my family away from home. I
love them.
-Had the BEST banana cake with cream cheese frosting at this little cafe
down the street from our home.
-Scored big time at the thrift shop with a mini waffle stick maker, markers
AND a muffin tin all for $2.50. BOOYEAH.
And so much more that I could tell you about but... I want to send pictures
so no more time.
I LOVE YOU ALL.
I miss you all.
I pray for you all.
I hope you all have a good week back at school/work/wherever you are.
Thank you a million for all the love and support from all of you!! I
couldn't do it without you all!! LOVE YOU!!
Have a happy week!!:)
