Elders

Back in April 2013 I started writing this missionary. Fast forward a few months, still writing him and I move to the area in which he's serving. Totally thought it would be weird and it was the first couple of times that we ran into each other. Technically we shouldn't be writing each other right now because I'm living in his mission area but that's just a technicality. Anyways, the elders came over for dinner tonight. I was supposed to leave and go down to Provo and have dinner with 2 of my best friends but I was in so much pain from snowboarding I couldn't sit, let alone sit in a car for a 40 minute drive.
Needless to say, the elders came over. It was fun to sit in the same room as Eric. I tried to stay out of the same room as much as I could, which wasn't hard because I was having to sit on a butt pillow and in a comfy chair. Everyone eventually made their way into the living room where I was for a spiritual message mostly directed to Jake.
Shawn was about to take the elders home and Shara asked if I wanted a blessing. Yes, a blessing for my butt. I decided that probably wasn't a bad idea and so Shawn grabbed some oil. Eric did the anointing and Shawn did the actual blessing. It was so good. I love how strong I can feel the spirit during a blessing.
Today was his 2 month mark. But who's counting?... :)

Snowboarding

So this one time when a boy thought it would be a good idea to take me snowboarding... it happened. I also happened to break my tailbone. I'll never go snowboarding again. Once was enough for me. Oy. It was probably the worse time to go snowboarding, late in the season, after some rain showers had moved through the area, the snow was no longer snow, it was ice and it was hard. I fell towards the top and I knew I was hurt. To make matters worse I fell a couple more times. But I made it down the hill and I survived. I was also in one piece, hurt, but in one piece.
