Howdy! What a great week! I turned 22 this week, kinda insane!
We kinda celebrated all week which was super awesome, and Sister Huish made my b-day super special so that was super awesome! She made me wear a b-day girl sash to district council, haha. But on my actual birthday we had dinner with the Olsen family and we love them so much. We had some yummy cupcakes to celebrate, it was a great birthday! I also got to call my family and talk to them which was fun. Thank you to everyone who sent me a lil happy birthday note! I really appreciate it, I miss y'all!
On Thursday we got to have our Relief Society lunch get together in Destin, FL at this cute lil place called Lulu's! it was so fun to be with the ladies and such a fun lunch. Later that same day we had a RS activity and we played "volleyball" but in chairs and we hit a balloon over a net with pool noodles. It was so funny the ladies were getting into it.
Yesterday before church we got to have breakfast with some of our favorite members, the Boyd's. They're so sweet. Also after church we had the opportunity to go visit 2 ladies in an assisted living facility who are both members of the church and neither of them have been to church or been able to have the sacrament in years. So we went with two of the young men and two not so young men to bring them the sacrament and give them both priesthood blessings. It was really amazing to see it. They were both very emotional and they both needed it so much. The spirit was so strong and they were very grateful for it.
Today some of my best friends from Scottsboro, the Woods were passing through Crestview and they took us out to lunch! It was so good to see them, and it was very sweet of them to come visit us. I've been so blessed to meet some of the best people out here in the mission.
This week will be my last week in the Alabama Birmingham Mission. This Saturday it will become the Florida Tallahassee Mission! It's bittersweet, but I'm excited, I think it will be really good.
Spiritual thought:
I just love the ordinance of the sacrament and that we get to partake of it each week. I definitely didn't understand it well enough before my mission but now I'm so grateful for it and what it means. I love that we don't need to be baptized again every time we mess up (Because I would be in that font way too often) but that we can renew our baptismal covenant literally every week! It's too cool!
Anyway, I love y'all, have a good one! Send me a message if ya want!
