Sister Alex Solomon:
This week has been kind of long and frustrating but some good things have happened as well...first of all, thank you mom and dad for my amazing Amazon package! I use that blender every single day! I have also been using the mini boom speaker in our lessons for videos andthings. I'm really excited for my new pencil sharpener but I just need to get a set of colored pencils now. I've been using crayons but there's no finesse there so I haven't done anything detailed yet. I'll work on it.
I've been doing pretty good with Eat to Live whenever I feed myself.This week that was only for breakfast and most lunches though. We had SO many dinner appointments and lunch appointments, it was crazy. So I'm not expecting anything miraculous to happen with this because other people feed me a lot!
We did a TON of service this week for this non member lady who is not interested in Jesus whatsoever. But she's still really cool and nice to us. Her name is Carol and she collects and sells sewing patterns on eBay. She literally has thousands of sewing patterns in her garage that we have spent hours organizing. And when we get done with that, she has a whole storage unit in Prescott full of them that she's going to bring down. The fun part is, if we see something we like, she will let us keep it. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for you, mom! What kind of patterns do you like? Another project we did for her was organize her cookbooks. She has over 600 cookbooks but the weirder part is that she doesn't sell those. Nope. She keeps those for herself. Who needs all those cookbooks?! The Internet is totally a thing now!! Anyway, Carol is kind of crazy but it's fun getting to go through her stuff.
We had another lesson with the Yankos this week and it was probably the best lesson we have ever had. Our Ward Mission Leader went with us and he was so solid helping us teach the lesson. They had so many questions about everything that was talked about at the regional broadcast but mostly about repentance because of Linda S. Reeves' talk. Anyway, it was great and Clint is now attending the Addiction Recovery Program and is preparing for his court date on the 30th.
I don't know if I have talked about them before but one of my favorite ward member families is the Addams family. The dad, Ryan, is a pilot for Southwest. The mom, Kristina, is super chill and let's us come talk to her anytime. The sons, Rob and Scott, are so awesome and they come tell me about all of their family trips that they go on to like Finland and Iceland and stuff. They also bring me candy from those places! Anyway, we stopped by this week to say hi and finally caught Brother Addams at home. It was great because I got to ask him all these questions about his job. The funniest part though was when he was talking about being a flight attendant and he said, "be prepared for a lot of gay male flight attendants". He then proceeded to do the most amazing impression of this gay flight attendant who flies for southwest and is apparently now a YouTube sensation. It was HILARIOUS. It reminded me of when Grandpa Solomon does his weird wrist thing and says, "oh pshaw!" Haha anyway, you guys should look up the videos of this guy. Search for Southwest flight attendant Richard or something. I'm sure you'll be able to find him.
Fun facts for this week: Our lesbians are all growed up and are getting married! Ha! They have only invited 26 people to their wedding and my companion and I are both on the list! We felt really honored but also kind of bummed because we can't go. If they weren't lesbians, we could totally go! And I will be honest, if I was not a missionary right now, I would totally hit that up because there is going to be some awesome food. Also, how many times do you get invited to a lesbian wedding in your Mormon lifetime? Not that many, I would assume.
Other "fun" fact for this week: I have been eating VERY healthy food on my own so when members feed me something really greasy or fried, it's only natural that I would get sick. I have been getting sick ALL WEEK. On Friday, a member took us out for pizza and it was good pizza. It was great! But on Saturday, it was not so great....long story short, we were driving along on Saturday and I thought I was going to explode so we stopped at a members house to use their bathroom...I knocked on that door so hard and pretty much yelled an explanation at them as they opened the door while I was already running past them to their bathroom. It was awkward but they're a young med school couple
and they were totally chill about it.
So yeah, it was an interesting week.
LOVES
