Flu shots, pruning and smokey skies

 So sorry how brief these email have been. We've had crazy P Days these past few weeks.

So, we all got our flu shot, so we couldn't resist taking a picture of our battle wounds.
Transfers happened, and I'm staying here, but Hermana Wangsgard was transferred to Highlands Ranch, my first area where I was at for six months. I am super excited for her. Sad to see her go, but I know she'll be taken care of. I am staying in Cornerstone Park with Hermana Tailleur, which means this is now the Washingtonian companionship, since she's from Port Orchard. 
Earlier this week we went to a woman's house and we were able to help her trim her Russian Sage bush. First time either of us had ever trimmed, but I think we did a pretty good job. We MIGHT have looked a little suspicious walking down the street with giant scissors hanging out of our bag, but that's fine. On the way back we couldn't resist stopping to get Slurpees.
With all the smoke, the sunrises and sunsets have been spectacular! The smoke  hard on the lungs and it is sad with all the destruction caused by the fires, yet there is always a silver lining to be seen. In this case it is more like a gold lining. It's amazing no matter how hard life can be, as we look up to God and look at the many blessings wonderful blessings He has given us, we can always see the most spectacular views, may it be through miracles, kindness, answer, or beautiful sunsets and sunrises. 

I am grateful everyday for the chance to serve a mission at such a time as this.

small adventures

Sorry to make this brief, but I have no choice. So, we delivered cookies. I made little cards to go with the cookies, fall themed of course. We ran under a red moon. We walked all the way from Littleton to Washington. We had many adventures and laughs, and I will tell you all about it next week:)


I am grateful everyday that I chose to serve a mission at such a time as this!
