We got a car!

So she took zero, I mean zero pictures this week. What is the blog creator supposed to do with that? Use old pictures from her missionary Google photos. This is a blast from the past. Best picture from the Missionary Training Center in Provo.

Hey everyone!  This week was crazy. I feel like I've been in this companionship and ward for months. Also WE GOT A CAR. It was very exciting. We still have and use our bikes. 

We had lots of trainings with individual missionary companionships. We are training on Facebook stuff and we train on different principles in each one. 

Both of my companions applied to BYU today! Sister Lowder applied to BYU in Idaho and Sister Atwood is applying to BYU in Utah. The Idaho application goes a lot faster than the Utah application. 

So for a while we kinda had in the works for me to go home last weekend, two weeks early, so I could make it to fall semester at BYU. We changed that a while ago to go home at the normal time (the 15th). But, the filter on my phone thought I went home so now my phone is wacky and won't let me use half my apps. That's fun. I'm told it will take three days to fix.

Dawn is doing well, we are starting with Bible studies because she doesn't know it as well as she wants, and she feels more comfortable starting with the Bible rather than the Book of Mormon. 

We have been heart attacking people's doors and giving them a bag with other hearts and telling them to go heart attack someone else.  Sister Atwood had an idea from her sister to "mug" people instead of heart attack, so to shake it up you get a dollar store mug (maybe with a hot cocoa packet in it) and leave it on their doorstep, and cut out mugs and tape them on their door. On the door you write a thing that says "you've been mugged." Haha.

Cornelius has been great, we love it here. 

Also I finished the Book of Mormon today! I started it again on July 28th, and it has been really fun to read through it so fast. Then I ran out of ink in my gel pen but another missionary had a gel pen that was the same color, so I was able to finish my highlighting method in the same color. That was a miracle. f

Life is fantastic! 

Love,
