Well folks. here we are. My final full week of being a missionary has come. and the good news is that I am okay to go home? why you ask? well you see I had this thing called a mission bucket list. it was to serve in dublin. Check. to serve in monterey. Check. to go to pebble beach golf course. check. and to serve in palo alto so i could meet steve young. check.
(this is the part where you all go what??? you didnt serve in palo alto!!)
Well Youre right. I am still in san jose. But I got to meet steve young!!!!!! Thats right. i even shook his hand. his hands are huge. but we will come back to that story in a minute.
Monday-pday! we played cracker tag. for those of you who dont know what that is, we tie saltine crackers to our hips and then roll up newspaper into bats and try to hit everyones cracker as well all run around. stupidest game ever? yes. but so awesome. hahaha
Tuesday- I was on exchanges with sis sakamoto! she is from Japan! I took her to her first american mcdonalds. I felt special. hahaha
Wednesday- We saw kristina and lisa and anastasia. Lisa made us hot coco. best day ever. especially since it was raining.
thrusdya- we did brianna's baptismal interview!!! she was so nervous it was adorable.
Friday-I met steve young. so we were at a mtg and president mella was like so we will ahve a guest speaker at 1030 so that should be fun. and sis berry leans over and says its steve young and we both laugh because that never happens. so then we went to have a break before our guest speaker and i looked to the other door and guess what? it was steve young! hahaha so funny! I guess him and president mella know each other pretty well so he had him come speak to us and he even let us take a picture which is pretty rare.So firday was great. haha
Saturday- alright so brother young was pretty cool but he will never compare to saturday. it was brianna's baptism! she is the 9 year old that we have been teaching and she was so excited. nervous but excited. and her whole family was there to support her. it was just an amazing time to see her baptized and to reflect on how amazing the past 18 months have been. there is no feeling better than seeing someone you love accept the gospel and decided to make promises with heavenly father. I am so grateful for the chance that i ahve had to serve a mission. But no worries i still have a week left so more stories next week!!
love you all!!
