This week, a member of our ward asked us to
help her pack boxes… So we, of course, said yes. When we got over there,
her poor mother was sweating out in the garage and, in all seriousness, told us
we could and should just go home now. When we walked in, we found out why!
You literally could not see the floor because there were clothes, cereal
boxes, shoes, art projects, bills, piano books, wii games, etc everywhere!
I picked up more than fifteen empty popcorn
bags to throw them away! I can't believe
people live like that! We really spent the whole three hours we were
there sorting things and throwing a ton of stuff away. I was just itching
to vacuum the floor, but there was way too much stuff in the way! This lady was
moving out at six that evening… Yah right! The elders went over there at
six to help move boxes and ended up packing instead.... I think this event led
to what happened this morning...Sister Steimle and I just started cleaning and
didn't stop! We threw out a ton of extra stuff and were acting super OCD.....
This week, we got to meet our new mission president!
On Friday, we had a meeting with them and Sister Alexander had a
slideshow presentation of their family! Since they have nine kids- that
is a lot of family! Sister Steimle and I couldn't help but laugh because,
when president Alexander was speaking, his wife
was falling asleep and visa-versa! They were acting like new missionaries!
Tired, excited, nervous and tired!
President Alexander is definitely
supposed to be our mission president though! Remember in the times after
the death of the prophet Joseph Smith? And how when Brigham Young spoke
those who were listening said he talked with the voice of Joseph? That
happened with our new mission president! It was a really neat experience
to have! I just knew that he is supposed to be our new
mission president and I am super excited for the things we will learn from him!
On the forth of July, we read the talk
"our divine constitution" for companion study in an attempt to be
patriotic… it is actually a really good one even though it is very old!
Also, totally rained like crazy that day! Of course it cleared
up in time for fireworks! Not that we could see them...ha- tall trees are
the best! They just block your view!
Also this week, sister Steimle and I are bored
of all the CDs we have, so guess what? We started listening to Christmas
music! Haha, Christmas all year long! That is my motto! :)
I sure love y’all and hope you have a great
week!
Sister Morris
