Summer is finally Summer June 20-26

This weird thing happened this week where all the sudden Summer became a thing.

Monday for FHE they gave us this list of crazy things to go to. The theme was to be unashamed. So we went Christmas Caroling at a professors house, we went and asked store workers strange questions as well as customers. There were some grass angels made and some fake proposals. It was pretty great!

After FHE Kaylee and I went and watched the end of a movie at Brigham's House. It was fun to watch it and then sit and talk for a bit!

Tuesday Kaylee and I opened our front door and sat down while watching the rain come pouring down. It was magical.

Wednesday was still kind of cloudy but Jessica, Rebecca, and Sam all came over and swam in my pool. After about 2 hours Jessica and I were starving. So we went and ordered pizza! It was delicious!

Thursday at about 4:45am a giant Thunder Clap and lightening struck! It was so loud and it didn't really stopped all day. It was the coolest thing ever!

Our Relief Society also had a frock swap. This is where you bring old clothes or anything really and you just exchange it and take what you like. I got an adorable dress, jacket, and a book!

Jessica and I decided we really wanted to go see Finding Dory so we went to the drive in. Well... it was closed. So we headed to the Lexington Movie Theater. It was 7:53 and outside it said that there was a showing at 7:40. Perfect. With previews we wouldn't really miss anything. So we ran in and they informed us that there was only a showing that started at 7:10. Somehow a manager came and gave us rain check passes to come and see Finding Dory the next day for free. My favorite comment was after we walked out when Jessica said, "Wow. Its not like we even look good today!" HAHA

Friday I went to this taste testing thing for the school which was interesting. Too much Pizza was involved.

But Jessica and I did go to Finding Dory that night! So cute! We had such a good time!

I was suppose to help clean the church Saturday morning but a youth conference was there. I showed up and helped Jessica take all the frock swap clothes to Goodwill. 

Then we looked up orchards where we could get peaches and strawberries. Kaylee and Jackson came with us. It was so summery and fun! (The homemade peach ice cream was amazing!)

 
 
  

 

I came back and worked on my Relief Society Lesson then headed over to Jessica's house. We used all the stuff we bought to make a yummy meal. We made homemade peach cobbler, spaghetti with this peach salsa we made, and green beans which we bought from the farm as well. Then we had this yummy white grape cider. We indulged ourselves in this delicious meal while watching Zootopia. So fun! 

 

I love Sundays. I sat down for Sacrament Meeting and was asked if I could share my testimony on what the Savior has done for me. I said yes and I felt like my mind went blank. But then I kept thinking of the word 'Everyday'. Everyday my Savior helps me. He sends me amazing people to watch out for me, the Holy Ghost to comfort me, and the Atonement. I am so grateful for the Atonement and its enabling and healing power. What a blessing!

Then for Relief Society I got to teach a great lesson on Temples. I am so grateful for Temples and Howard W Hunter has said that we need "to establish the temple of the Lord as the great symbol of our membership". I found this great mormon message and I love the words at the very beginning. 

It was a great week! Super fun and exciting! 

Now I need to work on that Spanish final project....
