Wow.. What a week !

I'm awesome! It's been a good week. It rocked! I finally finished Matthew in the New Testament. Amazing book. I had two baptismal interviews this week followed by their baptisms on Sunday and Saturday. The missionaries here in Medford do work! Medford rocks. Reminds me a lot of Utah and I see NPL trucks all the time.  

I made one of the best purchases of my mission. I bought a scented candle. Totally reminds me of home. I have the crisp fall leaves one. Our apt smells so good and missionaries comment about it when they come over to our house. It feels good to have a good smelling home. I now understand why moms care so much. It also took me like 30 minutes to figure out which smells I wanted. Dang there are hard decisions out there. Pumpkin spice also smelled delicious. Oh and garden harvest.

Anyways this week rocked ! So we had a special ZTM where pres. Russell came and taught us. I took a lot of notes and marked a lot in my scriptures. My scriptures are so marked up. But, I'm soooooo sad. I treat them like gold and the binding is coming undone. I only use them for my mornings studies. I never take them anywhere other than meetings and they are already getting ruined. I absolutely love Pres. Russell. He is honestly inspired and incredible. I am very fortunate to have him as my mission president. They even sent all of us missionary’s recipes this week. He taught us some deep doctrine in Moses, which is exactly what I love. Then, he bought our whole zone pizza. It was a sweet prelude to an awesome Halloween night.

After our ZTM (Zone Training Meeting) we went back to our apartment with the 4^th ward missionaries and were able play rummy with them. They had a lesson scheduled and Elder Dyorich & I had our wards “trunk or treat”.  That was awesome. Little kids running around everywhere all dressed up. For a slight moment it made me miss my home. We had to be in our apt at 6. So we drove home and opened the door to a beautiful smell. Goodness gracious what a glorious smell. The 4th ward elders came back over for our sleep over. To make my memories real we played football for about and hour and a half. It was muddy and rainy and so much fun! My running shoes are almost destroyed. (This explains why he was wearing his dress shoes with his shorts while serving food to the homeless) I will probably also need new church shoes also. I'm a shoe size 14.

We got back to the apt and played rummy and scrabble. It was a ton of fun!:) Also every Saturday and Wednesday we work for the Catholic Church and serve food for the homeless. Which is also tons of fun. We had some good lessons this week. Moved some people. And basically had a lot of fun. That's all for today folks

GRIZZ 👻

So for your year mark you burn a shirt. Six months it's a tie. Elder D wanted to burn his shirt.  Basically we just went out to the park in front of our apt and burned a shirt in the rain. It was kinda fun. Lol :)
