Sleep? That's a part of the schedule?

So this week was great! I'm a little bit fuzzy on remembering things (lack of sleep) BUT, I have my handy dandy planner to help me remember it all!

Monday was pretty crazy. Tuesday was insane. Wednesday was also super packed. And then we had Thursday. Yes, it's in a category all it's own because, apparently, no one wants to set appointments with us on Thursday... Seriously.

Tuesday was my favorite day because it was, like I said before, INSANE!! We were able to meet with Heather, Ricky, Kaitlin, AND Tsahai all in one afternoon. And because none of you really know how crazy that is, in this area and on bike, let me tell you something. It takes us 30 minutes to bike from the church to Kaitlin's apartment. From her apartment to Ricky's it takes us 15 minutes. From Ricky's apartment back to the church is 15 more minutes. From the church to Tsahai's is another 30 minutes. Yes, we bike 15 or more miles every day. That being said, Tuesday was insane! We had a really good appointment with Heather and she prayed with us! For the first time! She's so amazing and she really wants the best for her family, so please pray for her. She's going through some really tough stuff right now.

I've discovered that I absolutely LOVE object lessons! We've been teaching several 8-10 year olds and the object lessons are GOLD with them! It keeps them focused and it keeps me focused too! We've been doing a lot more visual aids with our teaching recently and we've seen a huge effect on the participation in the lessons. It's been awesome!

So, due to the shortness of the letter, I will include a short little snippet about one of our dinners this week. We ate dinner with 2 British women that are both in their mid to late 70s and it was so funny! Their mannerisms were so different and I really loved talking with them! Especially hearing their funny stories about missionaries (one of them had been a mission president's wife) and it was fantastic! I wanted to talk in a British accent for the rest of the night!

We had an amazing Stake Conference this weekend! We had Elder Nash come and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The Spirit was so strong and it was such a good experience! I took a lot of notes. It was amazing :)

Well, I love you all and I hope that you all have an absolutely FANTASTIC week!

Love,
Steph

Also, I'll be going to BYU-Idaho in the Fall!! I'm super excited :)

pics: Arizona sunsets are the best! Also, my wonderful companion, Sister MacKillop, drew a simple comic to describe the 10 commandments... I though it was epic :)
