February 17, 2014 (Still out of order)

February 17, 2014

Valentines day was great!!  We spent the morning doing service and then we ate lunch with the Ashton's.  It was a pizza party!  We got a heart shaped pizza and taught them to pray over their meals.  Then when we went to leave David (11 year old) asked if we were going to say a prayer before we left!  The faith of this young boy is amazing!  He is quickly making friends with a boy in the ward and is convinced that he wants to go on a mission someday.  His friend in the ward is only 12 and just got the priesthood so it is amazing to see his example!  He also got David a small children's hymn book because he didn't know any of the songs in primary!  It was way neat!  We have an amazing ward!

Also that night the Young Women did a fundraiser dinner for girls camp and we got invited to go.  We sat with the Elders and with the Griffiths.  It was totally weird because of the romantic lighting and music, but we just made fun of it the whole time :)  While listening to the "worldly" music though we realized we are totally brainwashed as missionaries because we couldn't remember any of the song names or the singers!!  Funny how when you fill your mind with good things like the gospel everything else that is unimportant just seems to slip our memory :)  

All in all a good week and we are way excited for this week.  Tomorrow I get to go to Zone Conference which is going to be right next to Glen Carbon!!  I will get to see Sister Anderson and it will feel like I am home haha.  I have SO many homes now!!  

I love you all!
