Well this week...........It was sister monson's birthday.SO I will go through her birthday! It was a fun day.
In the morning she fell really bad on the field when we were playing and her leg was bleeding really bad so we went home and took care of it. It was like 715 and it was my turn to shower first so I go in the shower and jumped out and threw some clothes on. Then I didnt get ready and I made a green smoothie, ham and eggs, cut up an apple and made toast. Then it was completed by the time she got out of the shower! IM SOOOOOOO STEALTHY! hahaha Then the Lord blessed me so much because I still had time enough to get ready!!!!!!!!!! Then I was naughty and I texted everyone that she loves in the area and everyone responded with things like "ohmy gosh I am going to make her a cake or oh my gosh lets throw a party or oh my gosh what does she want for her birthday!?!?!?" Everyone loves her so much! So pretty much the whole day was an explosion of sister monson birthday! We got enough cake to feed the continent of africa and she got tons of gifts! She felt really special and she really is special! I love her a ton! We got to go out to dinner with Jessie and Jeremy at the olive garden and I tried calamari for the first time! (OCTUPUS! YUCKY!!!!) But it actually was really good! We had a great time with them! Then we went to the dutsons and they did a spa treatment for her and made an amazing cake! Those are just a few of the events that took place that day! ANd those are pretty much the only pictures I have this week!
This week we had a great experience with summer. We went to the family history center with her and got her mom's name printed so that she can do her mom's baptism and confirmation. AMAZING! The smile on her face was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also yesterday I sang for the Why I believe fireside with sister vanderdoes again. We sang "I Go To Serve My Lord." Here are the Lyrics they are beautiful!
His Words cannot be written, great and sacred was the day
Hearts and minds were opened, as the Savior knelt and prayed
He bowed before his father, no thought of worldly fame
His humble prayer was offered, hallowed be thy name
I will sing the song of redeeming love with all my heart might mind and strength
That every knee shall bow and tongue confess, that Jesus is the Christ
and faith hope charity love, with feet planted firmly on gospel sod
I go to serve my Lord with an eye single to the glory of God
His hands and feet bore tokens, one who paid the price for sin
His image now engraven, I ll testify of him
with power I will serve him, commissioned by his hand
to preach the gospel message, blessed be my stand
I will sing the song of redeeming love with all my heart might mind and strength
That every knee shall bow and tongue confess, that Jesus is the Christ
and faith hope charity love, with feet planted firmly on gospel sod
I go to serve my Lord with an eye single to the glory of God
THE GLORY OF MY GOD!!!!!!
That song was composed by sister vanderdoes' dad! Cool huh! This last Saturday we did service called SMASH the TRASH and we gathered together as a ward and picked up all the trash in the ward! It was fun! Then we went and peeled apples for a lady why was canning and drying and what not. Everyone is so crazy thrifty and prepared and stuff it is pretty. Cool! We also helped this lady with making decorations for the Christmas party in the way future hahaha it was fun.
Can you believe that I am 16 months out today? Crazy! Also we biked this week and it was awesome! Also we went to this members house and we asked for referrals and she gave us like 10 referrals! They were for outside of our area but that is okay! It doesn't matter because they just need the gospel no matter who they get it from!!! :] Other than that.....that was kinda our week! We had a good week! Here is the quote of the week from sister monson. I about died..... "We are more likely to get new converts by selling snake oil than from street contacting...." HAHA she is hilarious! Anyways I love you all and I am so thankful for my mission. I love the mission and I am just looking at it as that I am in the middle of my mission always and when I come home it will just be a call to serve for the rest of my life in sharing the gospel and helping others. I love you and miss you tons! Tell ashley clements that I love her and I am excited to meet my niece. :] XOXOXO

Sister Fine and Sister Monson....you are such AWESOME examples and you represent our ward here so wonderfully! I LOVE YOU BOTH and want to wish a Happy Birthday to Sis. Monson! I especially like your thought of how your actually just in the middle of your mission....I'll probably use that thought!
