Hey all.

Pretty eventful week for me!

To kind of finish a story that I thought was over from last week, after I got everything taken care of for my money getting taken, within 3-4 days the rest of my wallet was stolen - that means the blue card, temple recommend and all my bus passes. So.... the only thing I have for identification is my name tag!! Feels weird not to have a wallet... aggravating too! But on the plus side, I know that I am for sure worthy to enter the temple because I had to have another interview with president yesterday to get a new one! :D

Something that happened, well is continuing to happen, is the bed bug problem! I hate waking up with 5-7 more bites on my arm, back, chest or face! haha. But, it’s a VERY good incentive to get up and at it in the morning! :) All for the experience right??

On the plus side, my bike is running well, haha... no more problems with it besides the usual airing it up with the temperature changes.

This past weekend, we had stake conference which was sweet. The stake center is on the same plot of land and right across the parking lot from the temple! I can walk from the outside wall of the stake center and walk to the door of the temple - and if I remember right it's like 50 or so feet! So there is always a special presence. But both sessions I attended were awesome. There was a special focus on families and temple work.

Then on Monday, well yesterday, there was a mission tour for Elder Packer (you know, President Packer of the 12? This was his son) and that was combined with our zone conference, so that was cool. He did like a question/answer type thing, so that was pretty legit. It was after the conference that I was interviewed!

We also had, like, every appointment possible cancel because it rained most of the week! I was sooooo irritated!!! They wouldn’t (I explained it to all of them!!!) understand that we are gonna be out in the rain if we’re at their house or not! Hahahaha... so we rode around a lot and got wet for most of the week. :) I just pray and hope that this week is a little less wet and that people will be more understanding!

Hope you all have a fantastic week.

Peace out ~
