another week mannnnn

Hello!! 

P DAY man. Today we are riding bikes with our whole zone in Central Park. FUN. (This is my VERY first time putting jeans on in 11 months.) #kindofhateit  weeeirdest feeling ever. And then to do my favorite ever... Window shopping down on fifth and like 18th street. BEST STORES. (Remember it helps me feel normal.) and then we might go stop by FIT the fashion institute because my dream will come true of going there after the mission. So anyways.. 

It was a good week. Highs and lows as always!! I feel like so much happened. How do I even get this out.. I'll just jump right in. (This email is random sorry)

Friday we went to MLC upstate in Scarsdale with all the leaders in the mission! It was President Morgan's very last MLC!! SAD. Awh I just die at how much I love President Morgan. He's taught me so much. For reals President Morgan is an amazing human. I can't explain the impact that he has had on me and my life. I LOVE The Morgan's.  At MLC we had Cafe Rio salad!!!! Sister Morgan made it for all of us and I was in heaven. (You don't understand the cravings I've had for that food.) man. YUM. MLC was just way good. President gets us all pumped to be leaders in the mission and we all just want to DO WORK. Straight up motivation. Loved it. 

Friday night we got to go to a museum at Columbia University for our relief society activity. That was grand. Every time I walk on Columbia University's campus I decide I want to be a smart human and go to school there. HAHA. (realistically never gonna happen.) but.. You guys it's dreamy. I feel like I'm walking in a movie. I have actually felt like I'm walking in a movie majority of my mission. I LOVE MY MISSION. The museum was way cool. I wish I took more pictures. But I will send the ones I have. OH and then after the museum we were on our way home and we talked to a man who had a giant white bird that he let me hold!!! I have always wanted a talking bird. It was a really good Friday filled with fun things. 

Oh this was HILARIOUS. 

Hahahahahahah. So. Thursday night I was going down the stairs of our apartment building. (In my pajamas, hair on top of my head, no makeup, slippers, etc.) well I start hauling down the stairs when I suddenly took a wrong step and bam bam bam bam bam. HA HA HA. On my bottom side down down down. The amount of laughter is indescribable. If only you could have seen. Hahaha you guys I'm like crying laughing as I'm typing this haha. And the BRUISE. Oh. My. Gosh. I am wounded. The biggest darkest bruise I've ever seen in my life. And I'm still laughing about it. If anyone even cares to know. It was a highlight hilarious moment. So there! Lesson: don't haul down the stairs in your slippers. 

Monday night Sister Checketts and I had a miniature spa night. We did nightly planning with my new green Glymed face mask!!! Mwaaaahhhhahah. Heaven. Who says missionaries can't be beautiful. Nonstop laughter again. 

Let's see what else. Our investigators are moving right along!! We may need to scoot some bap dates back a tiny bit...  But it's all good!! Just need a little more time. I get overwhelmed when I think about how much information I could tell you about all of them.. That's why I lack in letting you know more details about our investigators. But just know that we are busy busy.

Unhappy moment when:

We had a dinner appointment scheduled last night. For 7:00. Well we went to teach one of our investigators at 6:00 just before. Well. She (being the nicest human) decided to feed us dinner. And she dished up our plates for us. (I'm standing there like screaming in my head nooooooooooooooooooooooo) but out of the love in my heart I kindly shovel the food in my mouth, knowing that in less than 30 minutes I get to go eat ANOTHER dinner at a members.) 

To say I was full is a complete understatement. You guys. I was compacted with food and I wanted to cry. There was also desert involved in both appointments. HAHA. Who knew charity involved being full SO MANY TIMES. Daaahhh. 

A simple short thought to close!

Haha. For my little "spiritual thought" I decided I would quote Elder Perry's closing testimony from conference!! I love him. And I loved his last talk. What a great man. I miss him already! He said:

"Let me close by bearing witness (and my nine decades on this earth fully qualify me to say this) that the older I get, the more I realize that family is the center of life and is the key to eternal happiness."

SUCH a cute little quote and testimony from him. He is so right. I LOVE MY FAMILY!!! Dunford's I miss you more than you could ever imagine!!! You make me happy. Keep being the funnest bestest coolest dunfuns that you are. Love you so much. I'm grateful Heavenly Father put me in the family he did :)

LOVE YOU ALL.
