Not too much to report on this week. We did some outdoor service for a friend of ours where we took cut down branches and logs and bundled them up. I had never done it before, but luckily neither had she so neither of us could tell if it was done right, so it worked out, haha.
We went to our favorite Soda shop and I invented a new drink combo. Root Beer, Chocolate, and Peppermint. Yes, it sounds VERY strange, but it was surprisingly pretty good. I might have to get it a second time, haha.
I learned a new dish. I learned how to make crispy asian style orange chicken. It turned out really good and very convenient for leftovers!
My companion and I decided to have a little fun today, so we bought a mini Waffle maker and some pure maple syrup. We are excited to try it out!
Sorry, that's all I can think of right now that happened this week. I will try to take better notes next time, that way the email is a little more exciting.
I was reminded this morning of the importance of starting out your day right. While getting ready, I listened to some wonderful General Conference talks from the October General Conference, which spoke about diligence and the impact we have on those around us. Then after I decided to switch things up a bit. Instead of studying at my desk, I went to the bedroom, turned on some calming music, put some oils in my humidifier, and studied on my bed. The light was streaming in from the window, making the room warm and light. It felt peaceful and welcoming. I studied the word of the Lord through the Book of Mormon, highlighting every reference to Jesus Christ with blue. It was one of my best mornings in a while. Not rushed, not forced, but peace. It gave me a lot of time to reflect and be filled with gratitude for all that I have been given.
I am grateful everyday for a chance to serve at such a time as this!
