03/26/11 Aprons & bonnets & rock band

3/26/11
Hey!  How's it going?!
I heard from your mission mama that your comp got transferred and that she loves you and stuff.  She didn't really say a ton but it was a nice quick message from her!  She said I'd have to get all the details from you...so...details?!
What's your comp's name?  How are you meshing so far?  Where is your comp from?  How long has he been out?  So is it wierd losing Elder Weaver?  Where did he end up?  Do you think you guys will stay friends?
Things have stayed super busy around here.  Somehow keep getting done all that needs done though.
In YW we are working on making aprons and bonnets.  Nine girls came out on Wednesday night!!!  Can you believe it?  I think we finally found something they really like.  It'll probably take at least 2 more Tuesday's to finish up.  (Maybe some of them will work on these at home, I'm not sure.)  Everyone went to Amanda Turner's house and we had about 6 sewing machines set up and cutting boards etc.  It was a MAJOR operation.  I didn't realize it was going to take so long.  I was kinda bummed how little progress we seemed to make.  Oh well.  They loved it and hopefully they'll come back again and again to do some more!
The girls are keeping busy with all their activities.  We're just about to the end of the girl scout cookies.  Rachel said there is 12 mints, 12 lemon creams and 3 trefoils left to sell.  That' pretty good from 15 dozen last week!
Our soccer games got rained out today (yeah!!!) so I got in a nap.  This overcast weather makes me sleepy!
Afterward the guys played rock band and the girls went out shopping.  We did a little nail party and made the girls nails...kinda ugly!  They loved it though.  Dad bbq'd for Dallas birthday dinner (a day early) -- we are having a birthday weekend.  We had chicken and snake.  With beans and rice and rolls.  Yummy, of course.  Right now a peanut butter chocolate chip & m&m cheesecake is baking.  Should be done...soon.  Mmmmmm....
Can you get cream cheese and m&m's and stuff there? Do they have regular candy bars?  
The YW broadcast is tonight - going on right now - but I decided I wanted to stay in my sweat pants and not done hair and watch the 8 p.m. TV version.  I figure only 2 girls will probaby be there with their mothers anyway so hopefully noone misses me!
Are you exercising in the a.m. or do you just walk alot?  I was reading about missionary schedules and hadn't really heard you talk about doing anything -- just wondered.
Did you get any shoes? Are you thinking we need to send some for you?  
How is transportation getting to the mission home?  Do you take a bus or a jeepnee or what?  Does it take a long time?  Did you get some yummy food this time there?  Are you getting to know the pres and his wife very well?
Well keep working hard and loving what you are doing...makes time go faster! Serving others makes you forget yourself so if you are feeling down find someone to serve.

Love you lots and wish only the best for you.  love mom.

09/10/23 Hey, do you get to read letters on non-p day, p day?

First time trying a lime Pineapple was more pleasing than lime  Well...we went to Provo on Saturday and Sunday -- so your letter is a little later on Sunday than usual...but then I got to thinking...will you even get to see this before Thursday anyway?! So hopefully you're not sad that I'm late and all is well in CHILE.  It's a rainy sabbath here...which is weird cause we rarely get rain. But it is drizzly and rainy and our ride home was beautiful for 2 hours, raining for 1 1/2 hours, and then pretty good the rest of the way.  Let's see...what happened this week...Monday was Labor Day...so we had a day off work. Yeah!!!  We didn't have anywhere we needed to go and planned to have a quiet Monday but first, we went to this store called Sheridan's that is super close to our house. And we found some wonderful outdoor patio furniture. It took us 3 trips to get it all home and all afternoon to unpack and assemble it. So at 5:30, we were just finishing and kinda tired ...

11/09/24 The temple

St George Temple This morning I woke up early and continued to read "Your Endowment", a book Grandma Griffin gave me several years ago but that I never read cover to cover. It is of course, about the temple and the meaning behind the endowment and the other things we learn about in the temple. I'll be honest, a lot of it feels "over my head".  I am seeking to learn and know and understand more but I don't have a thorough understanding at this time.  Kathy and Steve Spring Yesterday I went to visit Kathy Spring. She worked at Washington City for many years and retired almost 3 years ago. We were good friends and she helped me in the court for quite awhile. Her husband died in January of 2020...looking back she is convinced it was covid but it was just before covid really became a thing. So it's not official. In about a years time she lost her Dad, her husband, her son and a grandson. Life was pretty rough when we were friends back then and I could see the...

10/15/23 Last Letter!

  Hey! Can you believe it?!  It's your last letter from home!!! This time next week you'll be one tired Hermana sitting in my kitchen with me!!!  What a week!  Monday was Columbus Day - so everybody had to work ('cept me!!!!) haha I stayed home and worked on projects. I took your car to the tire shop and had the tires inflated and then to Walmart and got an oil change then to the car wash and got the shebang inside and out and then brought it home and scrubbed it for a couple more hours. Wow, it was dirty and still isn't great! haha.  I also cleaned the pool and worked on the yard a bit and I don't even remember what else. I just remember I was super tired by day's end!  On Tuesday Emmalee came over and did Holly's hair and makeup. She looked really pretty. Afterward, we went to the Covington Home to take pictures. And the funny thing...it was decked out in Halloween decorations. NOOOOO!!!! So we found some areas and took some pictures and I think we got a ...
