Hello Everyone!
We went to Texas Road House on Wednesday and did the Wild West Wednesday thing - TEXAS ROAD HOUSE IN TEXAS HOW AWESOME IS THAT!! Anyway, we had steak and it was exceedingly delicious and here are some pictures :)
So, a miracle happened this week. I was starting to run out of my prescription medications and needed to order refills for them, but I totally forgot last Tuesday while emailing and started to freak out. But them we remembered that one of my companions, Sister Udall had to go back to the library to to something called MyPlan for departing missionaries so they don't get home and be a bump on a log. So, I emailed the prescription lady and then prayed so hard that it would go through quickly and that there would be no problems, but of course, I didn't have prescription numbers for two out of the three I needed to refill. I was also worried about them having to send the package to Texas instead of Sandy, UT. We had to go to the library the day after that as well because Sister Udall was way behind in her MyPlan. The entire way to the library, my heart was pounding and I was just about to have an anxiety attack, but we got to the library and lo and behold, the lady emailed me back, told me it was just fine to send them to Texas, and that because I had all the other right numbers, I didn't need the Rx numbers for the other two and that my Mom had paid for them and they were on their way!! I screamed internally, screamed externally, and then immediately said a prayer of gratitude to my Heavenly Father! It was incredible. I needed to email them about it a week previously and was quickly running out and it just would have been a huge mess without them and it was just a miracle that whole thing happened. It made me think of Philippians 4:13 - "I can do all things through Christ which strentheneth me." That is so true! If there is ever a time where you think you can't do something, think again because no matter how tough you think the trials ahead of you are, think instead of the power behind you.
Apparently grass doesn't exist in Texas! Okay, that's a lie, but it's very VERY rare that you see a lawn with actual, green, healthy, grass. It's either just full of weeds, or full of crab grass, but since people can't get regular grass to grow, they feed and nourish the crab grass :/
Yes, those two beautiful young ladies are my companions :) The one with the straight dark brown hair is Sister Udall. She is from Las Vegas, but moved to Moapa Valley (still in Nevada) and has lived there for many years before coming on a mission. She is almost done with her mission! This is her last transfer and then she's going home! She is really sad/nervous about it. She didn't do any college before coming and she just applied at BYU and recently received revelation about going into Photo Journalism as a major. So, she's not as nervous anymore, but still sad to go. The other one with the amazingly beautiful curly hair is Sister Slater. She does an amazing impersonation of Jimmy Stewart and we joke about it all the time! She is also obsessed with the Grinch with Jim Carey and we quote it exceedingly. Especially in the morning, "But what would I wear?!" and "That's it, I'm not going!" and then during daily planning, "5 o'clock, solve world hunger - TELL NO ONE. Six o'clock, dinner with me - I can't cancel that again!! 7 o'clock, stare into the abyss. . . I'M BOOKED!" She is from Lindon, UT and my mom is SO meeting her when I get back!! She is also 9 months into her mission; so we are the birth, the mid-life crisis, and death! They are both hilarious and we have many shenanigans together. All day. Everyday. They seriously keep me going.
