History In The Making

Have you heard about the historical event?

Are you going to go to the Leadership Training on June 23?  

Everyone in my mission is super excited for it and we are all making guesses as to what the "historical event" is going to be!

We have guesses from…

...the lost Book of Lehi has been found to

the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel are being revealed and then my guess that

John the Beloved and the 3 Nephites reveal themselves!

Some missionaries are guessing that they are changing the length of time that missionaries serve.

We have some crazy guesses!

I am sure we are all wrong — but hey — we can have fun guessing!

Apparently it is going to be huge!  It is two hours long and all missionaries are required to attend.  People in leadership positions and church members are invited and I was told that wards across the world are supposed to be watching it.  That means people are going to be attending at weird times and some will even have to change the hours of church.  

We are all so excited to hear what it is!

We just keep hearing that it will be historical!

Full Moon

Things are changing...

...I am moving tomorrow.

My new address is:

Sister Kourtni Ashcroft

4665 West 3277 South

West Valley City, UT 84120

Apparently the Elders apartment is infested with mice so they are moving into our apartment.  Our apartment really is too big for us anyways.  We are moving just around the corner into a huge beautiful home!

We have this amazing shower!

Big rooms!

And, a piano!

It is even bigger then our current place but the Sister who owns it is single so only Sisters can live there.  I was really bitter about moving but then I saw my new home!  I think I am going to be okay!  I will miss the ping pong table though!

Sister Brighton is so much fun!
She reminds me a lot of Kristy!
She has this huge house all to herself.
And, she goes with us to lessons.

I am still not recovering well from the bike accident so we called the doctor and he prescribed me muscle relaxers and an anti-inflammatory.  I think I got whiplash because my neck has been so out of whack the past few weeks.  I wanted to go to the quacker-practer, but they had me call the Mission Doctor first.  I am feeling better.  Sister Swain gave me a massage and a back-rub and she said that I had all kinds of knots in my neck and back.

My mission is so cool!  You know the district videos?  My mission is going to be filmed!  They have already filmed a few companionships.  Sister Joseph was one of them and she was not happy about it.  She is in the companionship that is testing the iPads.

There is a big missionary fireside on June 23 and it is supposed to be huge!  Sister Joseph will be in the videos. I kinda hope I am too.  It is weird to be teaching a lesson and have someone filming it but it is way cool.

Thanks for sending me the backpack.  It so much better than then my shoulder bag.  I have to be careful when I fling it onto my back!  Yesterday it hiked my skirt up so everything was showing.  Thankfully it was a day that I picked to wear a slip.  No one told me my skirt was hiked up!  I walked around for about ten minutes in the church talking to everyone!  Finally sweet Sister Leortscher came and pulled it down for me.  I have struggles!

I have to go...

...my ride is here to take me to the P-day building!

Things are great!

The church is true!

The Missionary Wall

Here is a picture for you guys!

I am sorry that I have been really bad at getting pictures to you!

I just never have time!

There is a missionary wall in my home and since I am leaving I have to add my picture and this is the one that I used.

Taking Vintage A Little Too Far

Sister Ashcroft

Look at this amazing dress that I found in my house!

It is so vintage!

I am going to wear it everywhere!

Thing 1 and Thing 2

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum

I Was Attacked

My companion and I were walking home one night and all of a sudden I heard a noise.  I seriously thought that a dog was coming after me!  I turned around to see where the dog was at and what part of my body it was going to take off and then the Stake President's sprinklers shot me right in the face.

I will not lie!

It hurt!

I screamed and took off running.  Everyone came running out of the house to see what happened.  They thought it was so funny.  It was pretty funny though.  It was worth it because they gave me a jar of canned peaches.  They were the best peaches in the world!

PS: Red Lobster is the first place I want to eat when I get home.

I really want some crab.

Oh Poop!

We were at a family's home for dinner and one of the daughters has some disabilities and she loves sign language.  We were talking about different signs and my companion said, "Isn't this the sign for eat?"  She was signing 'thank you' so I said, "No, this is it!"  I realized what I was signing after all the giggles. Turns out the sign I was doing to sign for 'poop'.

Yes, at the dinner table.

Yes, it was awkward.

Oops!
