I did it again. So sorry dude mans. This is the update from the past two weeks so it might be a little fat. Apologies in advance!
•Hitting my year mark. That was weird. It hurt a little but was also exciting? I'm not sure what I feel. It felt like an average day. At the same time, Sister Whitcomb had her four month anniversary the same day so that was super fun too! We made quinoa burgers (no I'm definitely not going vegetarian sorry) and strawberry pie. I was already making the whipped cream topping by the time I remembered that we don't have a mixer, so I ended up killing my forearm. It was totally worth it though. Nothing like freshly whipped cream.
•We also made a humongous cookie in order to celebrate getting new roommates/made an excuse to finish off the Tillamook before we got our roomies. It was delicious!
•We got new roomies! The Spanish Hermanas that were assigned to us were kicked out of their apartment and came to live with us so now we're a four man team and I honestly love it so much. It's so much fun and it gave Sister Whitcomb a break from just seeing my face every waking moment. I appreciate the variety. One of the Hermanas actually came out at the same time that I did so we got to catch up and revisit old times!
• So many walks and bike rides. I actually put forth some effort now in the mornings for my exercise. I'm already in my "six months to sexy" so I need to pick up the pace. I'm gonna kick quarantines butt!
•THE FOURTH OF JULY!!! First of all, God bless the USA. May He continue to do so.
Gettysburg was certainly an interesting place to be for the holiday. Note to self: never be in a historic place during a National holiday about America. It gets REAL busy REAL quick. In our brisk walks, we strived to stay away from the crowds but it was like trying to avoid the sun in the middle of the oceans. Not exactly possible. There were a few people in Civil War Era clothing who did a couple of shows for the public. I'm almost positive every motorcycle in America was here. Some were VERY loud. It was awesome. Also, the FBI, Homeland Security, and every cop near Gettysburg was here. Luckily there wasn't really anything horrible that happened but it was quite fun to watch all the big black cars roll up and file into the town. They came in groups of three and I even got a wave back from an FBI driver! I guess I'm besties with the FBI now hahaha.
Other than that, we've just been having a blast. We learned how to make tortillas and made the BEST fish tacos I've ever had in my life. I still dream about them. Seriously.
I guess my uplifting thought for you this week will be simple. Never forget the power of attitude. It's quite possibly the most important thing for you to remember right now. In a world where you see so many people abandoning hope and turning from the tasks at hand, don't forget that there IS always a bright side. You CAN do hard things. Seriously. This week I was reading about the creation and I am simply in awe of the Creator's power. But also His love for us. He worked so so so hard on you. He put His heart into you and He created everything for you. Doesn't that show your worth. You are worth more than anything on Earth. Anything! Pick your chin up and look forward. I don't put Onward and Upward at the end of my emails for no reason.
But I hope you all know how much I love and appreciate all you do. I hope you know and appreciate how much worth you have. If any of you ever forget your potential or power, just send me an email or drop a note.
2 Néphi 22:2
"Voici, Dieu est ma délivrance, je serai plein de confiance, et je ne craindrai rien ; car le Seigneur, le Seigneur est ma force et le sujet de mes louanges ; c’est lui qui m’a sauvé."
Câlins et bisous, Sœur Morrison
Onward and Upward
Que Dieu vous bénisse
