lots and lots of food🧀🍉

SO MUCH good food this week😊 I'm not even exaggerating when I say we ate out every single day this week for lunch and dinner and people gave us so much food to take home. The members are so sweet here and just want to feed us constantly so that's good but also we are so full. Also we did service at this girl Donna's place and she fed us watermelon + feta cheese + mint and some other stuff and it was actually so yummy. She's the real life Donna from Mama Mia and I love her🫶 She's so free spirited and it took her an hour of showing us her garden before we actually started doing service for her lol.

But actually this week went by SO FAST- the highlight of the week was going to the temple with Mallory for the first time though!! She got to be baptized for both of her grandma's and it was so special🥰 Also the guy who baptized us literally served his mission in Leeds England so that was pretty cool!

Other highlights:

- got a text yesterday saying "I wanna take you girls to Texas roadhouse" 🤠 like yes Sister Carter pls do_-

-interviews with Prez

-taco bell feast at the Essigs

-the watermelon salad thing

-Donna gave us flowers💐

-David was excited to tell us he got another Harley 🏍

-not a highlight but the new movie about sister missionaries getting kidnapped sounds awful😃 we're going no where without pepper spray now 🔫

Anyways love and miss you all!!

Also I love this quote👇

"As we are yoked with Him through sacred covenants and receive the enabling power of His Atonement in our lives, we increasingly will seek to understand and live according to His will. We also will pray for the strength to learn from, change, or accept our circumstances rather than praying relentlessly for God to change our circumstances according to our will. We will become agents who act rather than objects that are acted upon (see 2 Nephi 2:14). We will be blessed with spiritual traction."
