1/20/14: Week of Things :)

This was the Week of Things because we had all kinds of random stuff going on.

We started on p-day by celebrating Elder Norton's b-day. We decorated the halls of their apartment complex then spent all day making an ice cream cake then ate it over bowling at some really sketchy bowling alley. Ron the bartender is a sucker for sister missionaries though and we got to bowl for free :) For the record, I only got second to last! :P

Then on Tuesday we had zone training, which was lots of fun. Our ZL elder kanahele is awesome. then we had the best Cafe Rio dinner at bishops house, then we met up with our STLs and went on an exchange.

I got to go with Sister Milligan!!! Reunited once more :D

We had a blast in Kenosha. We totally sanitized this sweet lady's house, answered some temple questions for their investigator Melissa, and generally had a good time. I loved spending a day with this girl again. I totally admire her, and I'm so proud of all she has done :) And it was a tender mercy to me to see how much she looks up to me as well--I worried about how competent of a trainer I was back then. It was an awesome day.

Our elders. Are awesome. We just have to help them believe it.

Sister Boggus and Sister Peterson picked up the flu on their exchange. It was a rough day Thursday, but we got to see lots of people when Sister Boggus wasn't napping.

Friday was just plain hilarious. We talked a lot and Sister Boggus slept all day when we got home from seeing Bro Foster. Bro Foster is a psycho-therapist President wanted us to go see, even before I got to Janesville. It was super funny because he was trying to help fix our companionship issues, which turned out to be really difficult because we...don't...have any. Seriously. He reminds me of Mr. Schugk from Snow College, who was one of my awesome Criminal Justice teachers, who had a degree in behavioral science. Hmm...

It did help to at least get us communicating a little more, just cause we aren't really that chatty of people. It was cool to hear about Sister Boggus's life. She's an amazing girl :)

I watched all the D&C videos while she slept. They are awesome. I need more of this stuff...

We met Crystal, a referral, who is totally awesome. And some other really nice LAs. And we made homemade chicken noddle soup, which was delicious.

The Andrus family fed us the best missionary meal I've ever had <3 It was super basic, but soo good! I love mashed potatoes and gravy wayy too much. And all the other stuff :)

Sister Boggus is still pretty sick. It's not cool. Poor girl :( Still taking things slow. But having a good time, and managing to learn a ton in the process!

I love learning :)
