P-day and Senior Pictures


Ya'll, this was the most amazing day we have ever seen in Vedauwoo and except for two other people, we had the entire place to ourselves!  The day didn't seem all that promising when we arrived when we found snow on the ground, but as we hiked for a while, the clouds dispersed, the sun came out and the snow began to melt and oh my was it absolutely stunning!  And to make it even better, I got to take senior pictures of this handsome missionary!  I am not a photographer, I actually pretty much despise posed pictures, HOWEVER, I just let Elder Johnson do whatever he wanted and I just snapped away.  He walked through streams, climbed rocks and the picture of him taking in the view on top, well it was magic!  I don't know how the pictures turned out, but those mental photographs stored away are pretty spectacular, because we all know a camera doesn't do justice (especially mine:) .  We had a lot of great laughs, like when I slipped and fell on a wet boulder and landed in a perfect push-up position!  Elder Johnson spent a lot of time coaxing me, "Mom, it's not that slippery, we can make it!"  Then I would reply, "Yeah, I'm taking another way!"  I just followed him and we made it to the top just fine.

Joseph's last supper!

  Joseph decided that he wanted to go to Wasabi for his last supper and then real life happened and we had to shift plans and have grub hub deliver five guys to the house.  It turned out really fun though because after we ate, we played maki in the backyard and then everyone piled on the trampoline to bounce off some of those calories.  Just so you know, maki means lemur in Malagasy.  We usually play horse or pig, but instead we used the word maki to play "horse", because it's just so much cooler and fun that way!   Joseph is the fun in our house and we are really going to miss that dynamic when he is gone!  We also went mini golfing a few days later and it was fun to just spend time together.  We didn't keep score and we just decided to goof off and have fun.  Lucy played several holes in front of us the entire time and Joseph helped her get a hole in one on the last hole.  He's always so giving and kind to everyone!

Pday

 Hola!  Well we planned on going on another hike today, but an illness swept through our house and Elder Johnson spent part of his day recovering.  So while he was in bed, I took the opportunity to plant my garden.  After that was all finished, Elder Johnson was awake and he was kind enough to feed Lucy's gerbil, Burrow.  Aww, he's such a cute little guy!  Then, we went on a bike ride on the green way and on our not so secret secret path.  Elder Johnson likes to talk to me while I'm happily huffing and puffing to keep up with him.  We rode behind south high school just in time to run into a fight going on in the courtyard between a few guys.  I got off my bike and yelled, "Let him go or I'll call the school."  The two guys that were attacking the other kid let go and said, "It's none of your business."  So, I pulled out my phone and pretended to call the school (it's my not so secret secret weapon) and they took off.    Bu...

Drunk guy: we come across drunk people all the time but this guy in particular wouldn't let go of my companion and kept saying that he was his brother in christ it was kinda funny but i felt bad for the guy. he also said that he knew english but when he spoke it was just gibberish and random sounds it was wacky. When he was done telling us that he loved us, We told him that Jesus loved him and that we had things to do but he still wouldn't let us go. We eventually just started walking away, and after a couple ste...
