On Sunday, after church and dinner, we went on the prettiest walk around Buena Vista! (Also at dinner they have this thing called Apple Butter! Its amazing!
Monday we had a combined FHE. We played minute to win it games, which were very exciting!
Tuesday I pulled off my first Relief Society Activity! It was exciting and turned out super cute and fun! We made caramel apples, and sat and talked! The apples that we chose were soo good! Same with the caramel!
Wednesday we went to the last soccer game! It was soo cold! The teams had some amazing plays and it was 0-0 until the last 6 minutes when the other team scored! It was so sad. But it was a very pretty walk up there, and sunset. I then came back and made hot chocolate which warmed me right up!
Thursday was crazy! Some of us needed Halloween costumes. So at 3:30 we picked up Ewa and went to Goodwill. We ran around, found what we needed and then ran to Walmart. We left there about 5. I ate dinner and changed in about 20 minutes! Then I went to work. I ended up working double shift because I had to change my shift for the Relief Society activity. We didn't get much done at work because funny things kept happening. But it was a fun night!
Friday, was actually pretty uneventful! I woke up and got all dressed up as an indian. (This is a big thing. I haven't dressed up since 8th grade!). Then I went to classes. We had forum which was awesome! I love forum! The speaker was a man named Mark Gottfredson, He owns a business and talked about how to become a better leader.
After my class, Ewa, Elizabeth and I went and drove the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was freezing! But so pretty! There were a lot of trees full of color, and a lot that had no leaves at all anymore. Nonetheless it was beautiful. We took all our pictures still dressed up for Halloween, so enjoy the pictures!
I was a big fan of these!
That night we went to the Halloween "carnival". We went late and it was pretty much over when Ewa and I got there. We stayed to watch The Addams Family, which they were showing in the SAC. I had never seen it before, and it was actually really good! I then came back to my room and vacuumed :). I also read Harry Potter and then fell dead asleep!
Saturday, I finished cleaning, then I went to work. The first shift we all talked to about 6 people. No one was getting anything! So second shift, one of my team leaders got her husband to bring us a treat. We were finding all sorts of random ways to keep us entertained. After work I went to dinner, and then to my room. At 8 I went to my RA's room to start our Boy Meets World TV show marathon (started because of me!). I think we watched 5 or 6 episodes. (They are each 22 minutes or so.) My RA had made lots of treats and popcorn so it was great. I then came back home and was dead asleep...again!
Sunday I slept in and throughly enjoyed the extra hour I got! It was a wonderful fast and testimony meeting and both Anna and Ewa were one of many that got up to speak. That is one of the many things I love about being in a YSA ward. Testimony meetings with lots of eager people your age getting up to share their testimonies are really inspiring. We have been talking about Jeremiah in Sunday School which is really great and in Relief Society we had a wonderful lesson on patience.
We then had my second Relief Society activity. We combined with the men to pull of a break the fast. We made salad, rolls, and enchiladas. We planned for 100 people, and I swear we didn't have that many and we still didn't have quit enough food! I felt really really bad! I think the first people took a lot of enchiladas and that was the problem.
After church I came back and talked to family! I first FaceTimed my family at home, then talked to Leigh, then called Erica to tell her I will be in Utah for her wedding!!!! YAY!!! Im super excited! I finished that call at 7:58 and at 8 I ran down the hill to the church. We had the most amazing CES devotional by Brother Hallstrom! It was all about building a firm foundation on Christ. It was a perfectly timed, much needed lesson and reminder! It was amazing! We were given ice cream sandwiches which made me more cold but they were yummy! After that I came back to my room and just hung out :) It was pretty relaxing and boring! It was very nice!
