I'm going to give a shout out to my two new friends (Shown here with a sweet little girl who's mom is getting baptized
tomorrow)! I am a ward missionary and get to go out and teach, well mostly they teach and I provide the entertainment. Seriously, these women have come into my life at the perfect time. They have inspired me to be a better person through greater obedience and selfless service. I try to take what they do as missionaries and apply it to being a better mom and neighbor. Of course I love the structure and routines they have (surprised?, didn't think so Annika). I love our early morning walks and look forward to many more! These women teach with power! They are pretty much Alma and Amulek in skirts! They know and understand their calling and
work, work, work to bring happiness to all of God's children.
Sister N
The first time I heard her pray I said to myself- 'I wish my prayers were like that'. She prays with power and you know that
she knows that God is listening.This girl has style!
She appreciates a well-kept/clutter-free home. I love that!
She remains optimistic even when potential discouragement is eminent.
Sister T
Throws a mean frisbee! Even early in the morning.
Stayed in town long enough for the three of us to be true friends, get up early to jog together, and to cram into the back of my hot civic with two carseats!
She uses her talents to help others feel the love of the Lord (she wrote an amazing song!).
I know they can't stay here forever, but I am grateful for the days we do get to spend together!-

Hello! Thank you so much for posting this! I love seeing pictures of Bree (oops, Sister Toone) and reading such neat things about her! I so wish I could see her in action as a missionary!!! How fun that you commented on my blog! We'll have to keep in touch. Give Sister Toone a huge hug for me!!!
ReplyDeleteHey girl! I was cleaning my room today & found the baby gifts I bought you! I forgot to send them!! I think I am losing my mind!!! Are you still at the same address you were at during Christmas??? Let me know k? The outfits I bought are 3-6 months so luckily they will still fit! Hang it there. 2 kids is really hard! Addison has been a challenge for me. She cries all day long - I can't put her down or she sceams. I seriously have almost talked myself out of having any more kids!!! I am hoping that she grows out of it & that it gets better. Sorry this is a long comment! Let me know about your address.
ReplyDeleteYaayyy that's my sister! (Sis. Toone) I love her and miss her, and it's so fun to see pictures and hear about her. Thanks for being her bud and for working out with her too...whip her into shape! :) Please tell her I say hi and keep up the good missionary work!
