Wow, I am blogging a lot today! I guess life has just been interesting lately. Haha... this past week I had a few unique experiences.
First off, I got to go out with the Sister Missionaries! Since Dan is the Assistant Ward Mission Leader, we actually know the missionaries for our stake. They have come to our house for dinner twice and this past week I drove them around because they didn't have a car. If it was Elders, I'm sure they would ask Dan for his help. But since we have sisters in our area, they call Dan asking if I can help them :). It was a lot of fun to be around them and to see what they do each day. We kind of had a weird experience though. We went to visit this lady and she was outside on her cell phone. She saw us and apparently she wasn't interested but she didn't want to tell the sisters, so she handed them the cell phone and made the person on the cell phone tell us to go away! It was so random! One sister told me it was the weirdest thing that has happened to her on her mission.
Then last night Dan and I helped clean the temple. When we lived up north we were never asked to do this, in fact I didn't even know they asked members to help clean the temple. But I guess since St. George is a much smaller area there are more opportunities like this. It was actually really cool! I'll be honest, I complained a little bit at first because you go from 10 pm to midnight. I was tired on the way there but once we got there and started cleaning I had energy! I think it was a major blessing. I helped this lady vacuum all of the sealing rooms. It was probably the best vacuuming job I have ever done. I tried to be extremely careful and not run into any of the furniture. It was a really neat experience. Even though I wasn't doing temple work, I still felt the Spirit while I cleaned. I also loved the lady I helped. She was from New Zealand and she told me she had been cleaning the temple for 26 years! I think if I had a cleaning job I would want it to be at the temple.
What a great week!
