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!

Oh hello there!

Hey what's up everyone, i don't have a ton of time (basically becoming the usual) but anyway this week was great, I had a lot of great experiences. On Wednesday our mission president and his wife tested positive for covid and they are super sick right now, I really hope that they will be okay. The new mission president is supposed to come in this week I think, and that's gonna be a big change. We were supposed to have a baptism this week but they canceled because they were sick. I feel like something always bad happens on those days to be honest. We rescheduled for wednesday this week, which my companion is super excited for. We had tons of people cancel this week because of rain, the people hate rain here, it's really interesting. When it rains it either comes down really hard for like an hour, or it's a steady sprinkle the whole day. And humidity kinda sucks, when it's hot you go inside and you're still hot, and when it's cold it's...

Preparation day Cinco de Mayo! Halfway through home MTC!

Elder Johnson loves the outdoors and so we decided that every preparation day, we would go up to vedauwoo and go on an adventure. Last p-day we hiked in vedauwoo (pictures to come) and it was probably the most beautiful day we have ever seen up there. It had just snowed the night before, but as the morning progressed the snow began to melt and there were waterfalls coming off of the rocks everywhere. The sky was crystal clear, the air was still, clean and fresh. The sound of water falling off the rocks, the gurgling, bubbling and splashing made for a magnificent experience with Elder Johnson. This p-day, we decided to bring our bikes to vedauwoo and because it had snowed again, we enjoyed riding through the snow covered path. We found some hidden gems a long the way (I'd like to imagine that no one has ever been where we went) like the little stream that we found at the end of our trail. Elder Johnson and I are a lot alike, we both enjoy a...
