Is Vitamin D Milk the same as Whole Milk?

Hi Friends!

So, we just found out we're getting smartphones in April, so that's weird, I currently have an LG flip phone, quite the difference. We're all still deciding how we feel about it, there's pros and cons to everything, but it'll be good :)

It's been a good week. I'm learning more and more to judge the quality of my week by effort instead of perceived success. I want to be able to end every day by saying "I gave my all, I did everything I could, and put my heart and soul into it.". There's contentment in knowing its out of my hands. Doesn't sound like me does it? Yeah, it's weirding me out a little bit.

In other news, related to the subject line, we delivered some milk the other day. Lelani is a less active member we've been trying to see, and we reached out to her on Saturday to invite her to a ward activity and found out she has the measles.. yeah. So we were like, uh, let us know if there's anything we can do for you, or bring you.. and she needed Whole Milk! Well, we just happened to have a full, unopened gallon of WHOLE MILK, so I got really excited since people don't usually tell us things we can do when we ask like that. So we start to head over(keep in mind, we're walking, in the cold, with major wind, and a gallon of refreshing, fresh-from-the-fridge milk) when we discover its Vitamin D milk, not Whole Milk... We don't know the difference, or lack of, so we call like three different people trying to find out if that's acceptable in the place of whole milk. It was a very stressful walk. But she accepted the milk and we got to visit with her, it was grand. :) Below are selfies of our milk delivering adventure. As well as the district, and Pday funtime :D

It's been really cool this week, as I've tried to focus more on doing all I can do, I've developed more love for the people around me and for each aspect of missionary work.

Always Learning, Still New...
Much Love!

"we don't want to break into our car..."

Hi Friends! So, I'll start with the funny story. on Thursday we had to go back the apartment to grab a Book of Mormon Lelani had given us to write our testimonies in and as we were leaving, I locked the handle, like we always do and closed the door. Sister Jensen looked at me and asked if I had a key to the apartment, which I had the spare in my bag. Turns out she meant the car key, which was attached to the apartment key, which had been left inside. and my copy of the apartment key, along with our phone, etc were all locked in the car. We tried to card the door, but unluckily, our apartment isn't very easy to break into haha. So we prayed(which is where the quote comes from, Sister Jensen couldn't keep it together after that) WE called the sisters we live with on our neighbors phone after calling the mission office to get the number, left a voicemail, and walked to our appointment. I'd left my coat in the car too, so it got cold pretty quick, but after seeing Jean...

"I will go, I will do, the things THE LORD COMMANDS!!"

Hi Friends! So Mission time is so totally warped. The days feel super long and the weeks seem to go by quick-ish, but come Pday I feel like I have no memory of anything that happened that week. And every day ends in a similar way so I have no way of knowing what day it is. Basically my perception of time passing no longer works. It's cool. We had a Trunk-or-Treat on Wednesday and there was this family all dressed up as Harry Potter characters (Carson, you woulda LOVED it) I took a picture but it's kinda blurry. the mom was Professor Trelawny(sp?), the dad was Professor Snape, and then they had Hermione, Harry, Ron, and their little girl was Dobby. Margaret is doing super well. We still don't know if she's moving out or no, so that's concerning, especially as we get closer o her baptismal date, but she's super diligent and is being a member missionary before she is even a member. She reads the Book of Mormon to her mom and is t...

"the road's that way"

Hi Friends! It has been one heck of a week. Goodbyes, packing, transfers, new area(and companion and roommates and routine),service, walking, and missionary work interspersed with all of that, we'll see what I can put into coherent thought. My new companion is Sister Jensen. She's been out just over 6 months (and I hit 5 tomorrow!) and has been in Ephrata fro 6 weeks or so. We're both still pretty new, but we've got a good feeling about this transfer and we're gonna learn a lot and work hard. I'm excited. We live with another set of Sisters which has been a little more of an adjustment, to go from spending 4 1/2 months living with one person to living with 3 who already have a groove that now I have to fit into. But they are all wonderful people and we've had some fun in these last 4 1/2 days. I'm going to learn a lot here and its exciting to see how Heavenly Fathers hand was involved in all of this. I know I'm supposed to be here in Ephrata and ...
