1/28/11 YW, 5th Sunday & Pandesol bread

1/28/11

Well the weeks keep flying by. Are they for you too!?

I have really enjoyed reading your mission mama's blog. You even showed up in one of the photos!!!! You look like you are enjoying your time there. Are you getting to know all the other elders? Are you doing pretty well with the language now?

I swear it has been a super busy week but I'm trying to think what to tell you about and there just isn't much coming to mind.

Tomorrow we are going to EFY for some spiritual classes. If there is anything super cool I'll write to you about it.

This week in YW we had 8 come out. Pretty good crowd. 4 non-members, 4 members. I have 2 new non-members who are out of town on Sunday at dad's house but are supposedly going to start coming on Wednesday. They are sisters and pretty cute girls. Their names are hard though. Hadia and Nagila or something like that. They are black. 1/2 anyway. Really pretty. They have each come once. There mom asked that they start being included in everything. She thought she was a member but it turns out she is not and neither are her kids.

Sunday we are having 5th Sunday meeting and all the women of the church are supposed to go talk about pornography. The men are supposed to run primary and the YM and left over men are going to meet separately. Should be an interesting hour for everyone, eh?!

Girls 16 and up are going to the RS meeting, younger get to go to primary.

I printed out a recipe for PANDESAL bread (I think that was the spelling) and am going to try to make it Sunday I think. Sounds yummy.

Saw the pictures of the donuts you guys had. Those looked yummy. Seems like the Carlos' are pretty good cooks. Do you get to go to the mission home every week? It's 2 hours right?

Marcus and Laura found out they are having TWINS!!!! I think they are due around your birthday. Super cool, eh? Glad it's her and not me. Scary!!! She is so tiny...can't imagine her housing twins!

Do they do valentines day there? Do they have candy hearts and all the usual stuff we have here?

So did you pass the room inspection? I want to see pictures of your place. You'll have to figure out how to mail us some home or something.

Take care of yourself and know that you are LOVED and PRAYED for!!!! So proud of you. Keep up the good work. It just makes my day when I think of you and the good things you are accomplishing. I can't explain the comfort and happiness it is to have a righteous son! So keep on doing good. Love you so much. 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 ...
