March 11, 2009

You asked me what a normal p-day looks like for me.  Well, we would usually do laundry in the morning, but we got a washer and dryer at our place so we do laundry any time we want.  First thing we do is get up and pray.  Then we get ready for the day in our white shirts and ties.  Then we study.  Around 9:45 we head to the library to email.  We email until about 12:30.  After that, the sisters come pick us up to go to zone activity.  Our zone is way lame at this though.  It usually ends up being my district and the zone leaders.  That means 2/3 of the zone is missing.  We usually end up playing soccer or basketball.  This p-day I arranged for us to have a glow in the dark p-day.  We went and got a glow in the dark ball and a bunch of glow sticks.  We strapped the glow sticks to ourselves and turned out the lights.  We played glow in the dark basketball and dodge ball.  It was way fun.  We do that until about 3:30- 4:00 ish.  Then we go shopping for food, come back to the house and take a shower.  That's because basketball makes me sweat.  Dang, I used to never sweat.  Texas makes me sweat.  Then at 6 it turns back into a normal day.  We go to dinner and have other appointments.  

Sorry I didn't put more on the SD card.  I haven't been taking pictures lately because my camera is in the shop getting fixed.  Completely free because of that warranty I bought... smart plan.   (Note from Jamilyn... I'll post the new pictures soon- when I have time and a reliable wireless connection.) 

We do not have any Meijers in Texas.  We have something called H.E.B.  It sounds like they are very similar.  H.E.B is only a south Texas thing.  You were talking about Michigan weather and the blizzards... I know this isn't quite as bad, but we had a Texas rainstorm yesterday.  Now that wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't 40 degrees on top of that.  Let's just say that knocking and tracting was very cold.  Luckily I had Adam's New York jacket.  

Sounds like your Valentines wasn't as cool as mine.  We had two baptisms.  They were way sweet.  Couldn't ask for more.  After that, we did some knocking until dinner.  We then had dinner with Tina whom we baptized that day.  It was biscuits and gravy.  Then we went and taught Jim for the first time.  That was my first Valentines day on the mission.  

LOL I have gained a new view on Lent.  I had heard of Ash Wednesday but didn't know what it was.  It's the start of Lent by getting an ash cross on your head.  Anyways, the first time I saw it was when I went to go talk to a lady and she gave me a huge old crusty. LOL!  Nothing says leave me alone like an ash cross on your forehead.  

Well babe, just so you know, my district is doing better than it ever has in the history of the McNeal district.  5 baptisms this month!  I'm so excited.  Ruben is going to be baptized on the 22nd.  This Rocks!!  Pray for Jim and Ruben.
