If I were to get paid a nickel for every time someone told me I would be so bored on my mission, we would be rich. They said that in reference to Glenn being called to be an AMA. Since last Tuesday, which is 5 days, I have gone through 25 pounds of f lour...15+ pounds of sugar...8+ pounds of butter....6-7 dozen eggs. I made cookies for Sister Boyer.....I made a white cake with chocolate frosting...2 pumpkin cakes with carmel sauce.....pumpkin bread.....a total of 50 dozen cookies. Sister Treasure invited all the Senior Sisters over fora cookie exchange. I made cookies for our Ward Christmas Party. 200 chocolate and chocolate chip, and 200+ sugar cookies with icing. Makes me tired typing this. I think I have done more baking in less than I week than I ever did when I had my bakery back home. That doesn't count all the meals I cooked for us and for some of our friends here. As I always tell Glenn, I'm not bragging, I'm just stating a fact! Yes, I do keep busy, and I'm never bored. It keeps me busy, and takes my mind off of being homesick, especially at this time of year. I am so grateful that the Lord continues to bless us with good health so we can serve...that is definitely something I don't take for granted!
We have taught the 15-17 year old youth in SS since we got here 9 months ago. Today was our last day teaching. They called someone to be a permanent teacher. We will miss teaching, and we are grateful for that time with these youth. Our class grew from 2-3 per week, to 12 today. I have also been playing the piano in RS since we got here. Today, when I walked into RS, a sister was playing the piano......so I guess I'm done playing. (Our ward had 1/2 of another ward merge with them) So we are seeing lots of talent, and callings are being filled. I am still filling in as Secretary to the RS President. I'm sure they will call someone soon for that as well. I love the flexibility of Glenn's calling. We are able to help in various ways. Last week we were set apart as Ordinance Workers at the Kansas City Temple. We started last week and will be working every Thursday morning until we leave next year. It's great to be serving in the Temple again! What a blessing.
Until next time, keep reading your scriptures and be happy!!
