Called to serve in Ranch & Cucumbers : Old People and Parties

February 2, 2015

I've had a fun week so far. Got to visit lots of old people, said lots of goodbyes, helped a sister organize her cook book, had another awesome lesson with Gilbert, and Ally even came to church! Friday night was one of the Elders Birthday so we chalked his driveway and ditched a funny lamp that our neighbor gave us on his doorstep. We drew him a red carpet to the door with little stick people cheering him on along the way. It was pretty great if I do say so myself. We also connived a bunch of pranks that we could pull on them during a dinner with one of our members. We were dying laughing and everyone was looking at us funny. We also celebrated my comps 18th month mark with S'mores and a surprise from the other sisters. When we answered the door they threw balloons at us, pumped up some efy music, threw us some hula hoops and gave us some light flashy thingies. It was a fun night.

Guess what! I went a whole week without eating sugar! Ah yeah. I had no idea how many deserts people give us until you don't eat them anymore. Man, I even resisted Baskin Robins and the best brownies on planet earth. Be proud, be proud. I'm hoping to continue it this week too. I never realized how addicted to sugar I was! What the hay. It's been good though and I feel better. Wish me luck for round two.

Yesterday was fun too. Every one was busy with the super bowl so no body wanted to see us but the Lyons were nice and still invited us over for homemade, sprouted whole wheat pizza. We got talking about health and made some fun connections and she is going to make me some stuff and we're going to do a cleanse together! Their family is so cool. They have cows, pigs, and chickens in their backyard and a massive garden. We've had the chance to get pretty close with them and they always take good care of us. I love my ward and everyone here is so kind to us. We have like a meal appointment for lunch and dinner every day this week since it's Sister Riley's last week.

Well, nothing much to report but I'm killing my comp this week so maybe I'll have some good stories next week. The week seriously always goes by so fast. I feel like we had P-day yesterday. I can't believe how fast a transfer blows by.

Love ya lots,

Sister Prows
