WATCHED a puppy go through OPEN HEART SURGERY...THANKFULLY the operation was a success & MANY tears were shed when that lil puppy was well enough to bark and walk again.
All thanks to the late Elder Challis & AAA batteries for reviving that stuffed animal.
ALY, TRINITY, & JOEY are some of the newest members of THE one true church!!!!!! It was such a happy day AND THEN IT ONLY GOT HAPPIER because Travis & Lali said that they want to be baptized too!!!
MAN my last day in Denham was a GOOD ONE!
BUT BYE BYE DENHAM & HELLO HAMMOND.
I already love Hammond & everything in it.
Like Kathy's cat!
That thing had given birth 2 hours before we got there and was still absolutely COATED in blood & after birth!! YUM! But don't worry, that was NOT gonna stop that cat from crawling all over my dress!
Thank goodness!! Yay!! Whoop!
Sister Cropper might not be able to LAST 4 more weeks on the mission when she could accept Gary's marriage proposal INSTEAD!!!
"If I say this is true will you take my hand in marriage, and lead & guide me down the path to God?"
YES PLEASE!!
Poor Gary......
Found a talk all about the benefits of experiencing AWE and WONDER for the gospel & MAN WAS IT GOOD.
APPARENTLY cultivating feelings of wonder REFRESHES your spirit & PREVENTS complacency!!
Uhhhh who doesn't want that????
SO of course I tested it out.
Basically I sat there just BASKING in awe over the gift of repentance.
REPENTANCE BOGGLES MY MIND.
My teeny tiny little baby brain can barely comprehend a persons ability to COMPLETELY change.
How often do I stick people in a box & tell myself that they will ALWAYS act or be a certain way???
Way too often... BUT NO!
People can & DO change DAILY!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine if I was the same ryan from high school..... or middle school...... uhhhhhh PLEASE NO.
Repentance really is a gift. A BLESSING.
Just look at Alma the younger!! Look at Ammon & Aaron & Omner & Himni!! "they were the VILEST of sinners" BUT because of repentance they became some of the Lord's MOST devout servants!
REDISCOVERING the WONDER and AWE in the gospel MADE ME SO PUMPED!!!!!!!
Continually in awe over the Atonement, & the Plan of Salvation, and eternal families, and everything else our Father in Heaven has so kindly given us.
TAKE TIME TO BASK IN WONDER FOR THIS INCREDIBLE GOSPEL!!
it's a blast.
Ate a chili dog with skyline chili, so now I never have to go to Ohio. Thank goodness.
(kidding grandma & grandma & george! I love ohio)
Juan bought us sushi AND let us come to a quinceanera??????? It doesn't get much better than that. He also absolutely SHREDDED me for being from California & Texas and STILL not speaking Spanish............... yo soy stupido.
Highlight of the week was Sister Cropper's bike tire POPPING 4 miles from home!! The sun demolished us and turned us into lil lobsters... whatta powerful september sun.
