Things are going well! it was a good week. the weather has been pretty good, and all the flowers are in bloom! absolutely beautiful! sending some pics w/ this email so you can see what it looks like! well,---here goes for this week!
MON-my pday! sis Yoon and i went to gateway mall and shopped around for fun, i bought some neck scarves so that was fun. we also ate at a mexican restaurant, and we ate a lot!! we got so full, but we had to go to the Haagan Daas icecream shop to get icecream. oh dear. Ü.
Tues-I saw Uncle Gaylon!!! sis yoon and i were just outside contacting people, and i look to my left, and theres uncle G just bookn' it as fast as he can walking right toward me! it was good to see him. that's probably the most i have ever talked to him in my life! haha. but he was so sweet-as always. he had mtgs. in park city and he said he wanted to come to temple square to see if he could find me. what a nice guy to go out of his way to see me! that made me happy!
Wed-at my most favorite assignment-the tabernacle! i was doing the pin-drop demonstration- and i say that i'm from washington-and as soon as i did, there was this couple sittting in the front row and they stood up and yelled wahoo!! so i'm assuming they're from WA, but it was kinda funny cuz usually everyone is really quiet while we speak, and then i had my own fan club! so i just stopped and went yay! w/ my hands in the air, and then continued my usual routine! but thot that was cool! its fun to meet people from back home! a little while ago i acutally met a korean family from pullman that were students here for a chemistry convention. so ya!
Thursday!- every first transfer sister gets a coupan to some restaurant near temple square to eat at, and i got mine coupan to the LIon House Pantry. sis yoon and i went and ate dinner there...and it was soooo good! i'd never been there before, they have these big n' soft dinner rolls w/ honey butter. i think i'll have to go back atleast a couple o times! Ü it was cute--at the tabernacle i was doing the pindrop- and sis. Holmes (mission pres. wife) came in w/ her grandkids-and she wanted us to the the demonstration for them again- and so i went up there, and she and her 3 grandkids went up to the podium w/ me and helped drop the pins! it was cute!
Friday!!!- sis yoon and i woke up real early to catch the 7am session at the Salt sLake Temple! my first time going into my most favoritiest temple! so that was really special for me! it was neat to see it live-and to think that the pioneers built it! it was special to finally see the inside. so pretty!
so i guess the Friend-is doing this thing once a month at temple square-where they highlight a primary kid doing some sort of talent on temple square-and so there was this 9 year old playing the organ w/ the foot petals at the tabernacle! it was so cute to look up there and see this little boy dressed in a shirt and tie- belting it out at the organ! i was very impressed!
i passed this lady just walking on the square dressed in ALL purple. she was seriously all purple--and my favorite thing on her i think was her matching purple band-aid! haha!
lastnight was what we called our Referral Center marathon. we had 3 hours set aside in our sched. to enter in the computer all the the potential referrals that the memebers had given us at gen. conference. and then we had the opportunity to call them. so it was really neat to get to talk to people, and let them know their frined was here on tmeple square and thought of them while they were here and wanted them to know about our church and why it makes them so happy. but everyone i talked to was very open and kind. i was nervous- becuase i didn't know how they would react, but i prayed really hard that they would have soft heart towards me and they truly were!
TODAY!! day before EASTER! yay! the senior couples hid easter eggs filled with candy around our lounge and and eating area. its fun to see it all eastery, and the yummy chocolate! Ü sis yoon and i are going to go shopping at walmart for groceries here is a tidge, and go to the Brazilian Grill Buffet. i've heard nothing but good things about it. so that should be fun! we just gave a tour to a huge group of like 20 people. they were a youth/adult ministry group. i was really nervous, but it worked out pretty well! we also gave a tour to this couple who asked a lot of questions. it was neat because this morning in my personal study, i really wanted to study about the great apostasy and the restoration---in preach my gospel, we are promised that if we study dilegently, something we study in our personal study, will be used and help us in our teaching that day. and so i prayed that i would be able to use my studying today. and sure enough, the Lord once again, has answered my prayers. Although it didn't really come out smoothly and i had thougt it would, this couples' questions were about the apostasy and the restoration, and wanted to know how we knew-so anyways, i was just greatful that i was prepared, and that i could feel confidnet in sharing with them my testimony.
So this is my week! i hope you enjoyed hearing about it all!
