I'm a little distracted.. We have family over and the football game is on..
Today was a great day at church. Somethings that made me smile.. A new older person was baptized this week. That in itself was awesome.. But it was sweet seeing her walk up.. She has trouble walking so one if the elders gave her his arm to hold onto to walk up. And then bro. Richardson gave her conformation in German. How cool!
Sunday school was good too. We talked about trials and forgiveness. One of the thoughts that really stuck out to me was, sometimes we face tragitity so that we can have compassion for others.
This week was long and a little rough. Last Sunday when i wrote, I was a little out of it. Losing my uncle was and is really hard. I loved that Melissa and I both described him the same way without knowing it. We said that he reminds us of a non lds pres. Turner. He had the capability to make everyone feel like they were the favorite! But my main point is that last Sunday, I found out right when church was starting that they were pulling the plugs and it would be soon that he passed. I was a mess! I had to leave the chapel and was crying too much. But i felt i needed to sit on the couch for the sacrament. I needed that peace that it provides. I'm grateful for the sacrament!
The other thing this week.. I started teaching preschool again. Fun! I think I'm really going to like my little group!
And one of the most exciting parts.. I got to facetime with melissa when she tried on wedding dresses. She is so beautiful! And you guessed it.. I cried! I was sad to not be there.. But grateful for modern technology! Her and Chaz are coming for a couple days in early October to finalize wedding stuff. I'm so excited! She also went wedding dress shopping with friends and pulled up Brooklyn's pic to be there with her. Love!!
