It's a girl!!!
We're picking up our baby tonight and will have her for a whole week! :)
Confused yet? Let me fill you in.
They do this cool thing here called mini missions where youth ages 16-19
can spend a week with a full time missionary. They leave behind their
car, cell phone, and all that good stuff and are basically a full time
greenie! Sister Fox and I found out Saturday
night that we would be getting not one but TWO mini missionaries today.
Wow! We've actually met one of them. She was just baptized last August
in our stake, then went to BYU-I, and is now preparing for her own
mission! Yes, she is AMAZING. We could not be more excited to be mission
mothers for the week! But please pray for us and our babies because
they are both deciding whether they will serve and this could make or
break it for them.. no pressure!
As for Sister Fox and I, we have had another adventurous week.
Did
I tell you we ate road kill? We ate road kill. It wasn't too bad
either. Okay, fine, so it was deer, but it was killed in the road and we
ate it. It counts.
Other adventures of the week:
x. I finally had sushi!!
Who would have thought it would take coming Ohio to do it? Anyway, I
loved it. But it didn't have raw fish in it so that was a tender mercy.
x.
We helped two of our favorite families move to Utah :( We were so sad
to see them go but I am so excited that I'll get to see them when I get
home! We already have plans to meet up at Cafe Rio. Oh and we got some
great parenting advice: "You're never going to get it right, and that's
okay."
x. Spent more time at the family history center! I also read a
great article about the hastening that said "Every good latter day saint
in the Spirit World is busy!" Don't you love that? Oh and I ate up the
family history stories mom sent me. Send more! Send more! Family members
on the Steel side, if you haven't heard Wealthy Eddy's story yet, read
it now! You will be so proud to be her descendant.
x. Had TWO exchanges with two wonderful sisters-- Sister Fausett,
who sis. fox trained, and Sister Low, who just arrived from Scotland!
x.
Saw our Italian investigator and she told us her daughter ate like a
porky pig and that memorial day in Italy is more like "month of the dead
people" I love her more every time I see her.
We continue to witness miracles and tender mercies every day. I
can't believe how quickly the time is passing! Something I've realized
this week is how different Latter Day Saints are from the rest of the
world. Foxy and I witnessed quite a few instances where people were
overcome by the natural man. It wasn't pretty. And it breaks my heart.
If only people knew what they could have with the Gospel. That's what
I'm here for! I feel so blessed to have been raised in such a loving
home and community where the Gospel was always present. We truly are
lights in a dark world. Keep shining your lights-- they are brighter and
more powerful than you know!
This week I would also highly suggest reading Richard G. Scott's talk,
Living a Life of Peace, Joy and Purpose
It's a game changer.
I love you more than you know!
