crazy craziness
2. We had a baptism! It was a 9 year old, Mia Colagrossi! BUT STILL IT WAS AWESOME AND SUPER STRESSFUL! IT WAS THE 1ST BAPTISM I WAS IN CHARGE OF AND EVERYTHING THAT COULD HAVE GONE WRONG WENT WRONG BUT LAST MINUTE WE GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT! Our pianist quit and said she couldn't come so we were freaking out! But we found a CD player with all the hymns on it so it all worked out well! But a lot of stress! But a lot of rewards! HER DAD IS RECENTLY ACTIVATED AND IT WAS SO FUNNY AS HE WAS WALKING TO THE WATER HE STEPPED OUT AND ASKED ME TO COME AND SHOW HIM HOW TO HOLD HIS DAUGHTER TO BAPTIZE HER! Oh man it was so funny but it all worked out! #blessing
3. Brother Colagrossi, Mia's father was ordained to the melchizedek priesthood on Sunday! It was super cool. He was worried about it and he got to confirm his daughter a member of the church also! It was a super happy and exciting weekend for that family! Now they have their eyes set on getting sealed in October on their 10th year wedding anniversary! Sorry i forgot my pictures! There will be some next week! But a great birthday weekend right? #blessing
4. We have a book thats called "adjusting to missionary life to deal with stress". A group of sisters pointed out a funny thing in it. It's in the section about getting along with others it says " Write in your journal. It helps to at least feel understood by yourself" That quote just sounds pretty darn sad! It just makes me laugh! It might just be my sad missionary sense of humor but i guess we will see! Oh and i also write in my journal my daily blessings and then put #blessings after them to show i recognize my blessings. Yeah its sad, I twitter in my journal...
5. I had an interview with President Smith. He wanted to check up and see if i wasn't tooo stressed out! But i really think its part of his job description to flatter us! But he said I was his go to guy! He also said I do a great job training! I said he was crazy but then he went over my last few trainees and how i have helped them! He is just such an awesome guy! He could make a dog turd feel good about itself... Sorry, not missionary-like just the only analogy i could come up with!
6. We taught a lesson to some recent converts. They are awesome. It's twin 8 year old girls and a 9 year old boy. They are a ham and a half! they are so funny! the two little twins made me bracelets. They are adorable! and then they were super excited because my birthday is the day before theirs! Oh, and one's name is Heaven the other is Neveah (heaven backwords) So cool!
7. It's been sooo hot! It's been crazy. It's the dog day so everyday at 2-3 it rains and thunders like a mad man! It's way cool but then its super duper humid all the rest of the time... I don't like humidity.
8. We were talking to a member and apparently he was the guy who caught Ted Bundy, the Mormon serial killer.. but that's not the weirdest connection in the ward. #2 a lady who live in Tallahassee got her car stolen by him! But that's not all... connection #3 a guy from Utah used to drive him to church every Sunday because he didn't have a car! What are the chances that we have 3 connections with the craziest Mormon ever??? Just odd
9. Donahoes are an awesome family in the ward but have the weirdest how we met story ever. Brother Donhoe was a cop in Pensacola and his partner was married to Sister Donahoe. The partner was killed in the line of duty, they met and a year later were married... odd story but kind of cool!
10. I bought my self a bike odometer! Happy birthday to myself! It was an awesome purchase! So worth it! 1st day we biked 22 miles... yeah we bike a lot in this hot area!
Love you all!
