Man weekends are the greatest! Friday we all just hung out. We had a very exciting dinner. Usually we are all just enjoying our food, but we were so animated and loud. We definitely got some very strange looks! I was exhausted but we played a few rounds of bananagrams, and then I went to FaceTime Alley! Great times! We were going crazy and I got a little loud. At one point I was cleaning while talking. I had gone to Walmart earlier to buy NyQuill because I lost my other bottle. I was cleaning and FOUND the first bottle! I was so mad! So when I found the bottle I screamed "Theres the NyQuill!" A few seconds later, Anna texts me saying, "Were you just shouting about NyQuill". It was super funny!
Saturday we woke up early (at 7:30) to go to a Stake Relief Society Conference. We technically aren't in the Buena Vista stake any more. They took out the YSA stake. But they invited us anyway! We left at 8:30 because it started at 9 and off we went to try and find the church in Lexington. I eventually got us there, but there were just a few cars. It turns out it started at 9:30. So we got wrapped into sticking stickers on folders. But we were happy to do any service needed. At 10 it started the workshop rotation. We went to three rotations before there was a keynote speaker. The whole conference was centered on covenants and it was awesome! Our keynote speaker was Erylnn Lansing. Her husband is a member of the Seventy. She was amazing! They then fed us lunch and everything was coordinated! It looked amazing! The center pieces were even symbolic. So cool!
After that we all came back to change and take a quick break. We had a little heart to heart conference and then off we went to... wait for it...
FOAMHENGE!
Thats right! Stonehenge made of styrofoam! Some random guy got the idea to make Stonehenge and tell the myths about how it got there. So yes in the picture, there was a statue of Merlin. It was super super weird, but so great!!
We then came back and went to dinner. We had enchiladas in the dinning hall and they were delicious! We then all did a little bit of homework and then came in my room for Saturday movie night! This has happened for the past three weeks and its my favorite. We all pig out on popcorn and candy and just relax! Its the best! This week we watched Sleepless in Seattle. Love it!
Sunday was also really good. We had three great hours of church. In Sunday School we have been talking about Isaiah and its awesome! Then we got our visiting teacher assignments! (I get to teach Ewa! So exciting!) We also got to meet with our home teachers :) It was great! I have three very nice gentleman. Two of them are twins that are on the soccer team, and the other one is on the lacrosse team.. I think.
My visiting teaching companion invited Ewa and I over for dinner. She lives in Carriage which are houses that have kitchens! It was so nice to have food from a home kitchen! We sat there and talked for quite a while, and then my companion already had a quote to give us both and a headband she made. It was quite fun. The only problem is that I am so mad I live in the Lofts.. We have a plan to all move into Carriage next fall, but I don't think I can wait that long!
We then went to the CES fireside where Elder Christofferson spoke. He talked about giving your life to Christ. It was really cool and we got donuts after! Maple donuts for the win!
It was a great weekend. I am not ready to do my homework, so i'm writing this blog and its already 10 at night! Go me! Hope you all have a great week!
