Hi everyone! I'm going to do think a little bit differently this week (mostly because technology is a pain and I have a LOT of pictures from this week).
So! I'm going to recount to you the story of what happened last preparation day:
We were at our District Leader's church building for a district activity and we were bored, so we decided to do some adventuring outside. Sister Cook wanted to take a picture climbing a tree, so we found one and snapped some photos when the elders can over and told us they had found a better tree - by a little canal behind the church that was block off by a fence (that had a convenient hole in it for us all to go through). We were walking along the canal for a little while and we asked the elders where the tree was, and they said we had passed it and were going to adventure. I had already turned around and started walking back when all of a sudden, one elder goes running into the canal and up the other side and my district leader is behind me saying "Sister Carlson, run!!" and I feel a painful prick in my back. We had stumbled into a wasp nest and they were angry! We all ran out and I fell on the way out (classic) and Sister Cook got one stuck in her hair and it was a hilarious disaster!! Sister Cook got the worst of it, she got seven stings: 3 on her head, 1 on each arm, one on her leg, and (the cherry on top) 1 on her bum! The two pictures of her arm are from the day afterwards - they got so bad!! She was on Benadryl for a few night, but she's all healed now so it's okay :) I lucked out and only got the 2 stings right next to each other on my back (see picture three, that was right after it happened). I've never gotten stung before, so this was quite the experience! We all got stung except for one elder, those wasps were brutal (and they chased us all the way back to the church!)
Then yesterday, we found this wasp catcher outside someone's house and I thought it would be fitting to include in this email with our story.... :)
But we are so lucky that none of us were severely allergic and that we only got as many as we did! Everything could have been so much worse - Heavenly Father looks out for us :)
Then transfers!!
Sister Cook and I get to stay together in this area (YAYYY!!!), and I've been called to be a Sister Training Leader. Heavenly Father knew I could only handle a few changes at a time :)
But we got to be with Sister Enkhbold for the day because her companion Sister Peterman was shipped down to Twin Falls! But Sister E's new companion is Sister Woodcock, my MTC companion! It will be fun to all be close together :)
So yeah! The first and last pictures were on Facebook, but I love them so I put them in here. I love Sister Holland (the red head). Then the other three are from our trio for the day! (and yes, we did lay down and may have slept a tiny bit for our companionship study...we were all exhausted!
Then yesterday. There is a new housing division going in Hidden Springs, and at the top of this hill they've barely started making the foundations. So OBVIOUSLY we had to take some pictures up there :D
1) Me and Captain Moroni
2) My beautiful companion (she was so excited we found a tractor....)
3) Selfie with the brown nothingness out there!
4) My beautiful companion part 2
