Not much to say today, just that everybody tells us "I
voted for Mitt!" and we just smile and say "thats great!
Our church is neutral." However, be it known to the world that
I DID vote using an absentee ballot (thanks mom!) like the good American citizen
should.
Elder Bassett of the Seventy is in town. He's visiting
all the stake presidents with our mission president to talk about my new
favorite topic: MISSIONARY WORK. All the Stake presidents are basically
getting a chastisement and kick in the pants. We are going to have 1 set
of missionaries to EVERY ward, so there needs to be a LOT more people to teach
or all these 18 and 19 year old missionaries who are on fire will be very sad!
So, he is holding these special meetings every week and they asked me to
sing in a special musical number (in a trio with Elder Walker and Elder Tilley)
for the meeting. So...I'm traveling the mission to sing for a Seventy!
Its kind of fun! We did our first one last week and I got to hear
all about how the 12 apostles think about missionary work and its so exciting.
The field is truly white and I know that the world is being prepared for
Jesus to come again!! We have 2 more meetings to go to this week to sing
for him and probably 6 more after that! I'm also busy doing exchanges
with other sister's companionships and my own deaf work! Busy busy!!!
I need to explain our car situation, just for fun.
Because I got transferred back to Carmichael, I'm back in the old 2010
Corolla. It has 53,000 miles on it. SO! We are going to get a
new one soon! Yay for my second new car on the mission! We have an
allotment of 1, 675 miles a month and we struggle to stay under that. We
usually drive an average of 50-70 a day. I withdrew myself from being the
driver so Sister Oliphant could continue to drive when I left her to do
exchanges with other sisters. So....I'm back to being the
rediculous-looking backer-upper.
I love you all, the church is STILL true. muah!
