Opposition is so real - Jack's email from Alaska

Hey everyone!! This week was kinda wild for sure. I can for sure say satan has been doing his thing. My companion and I had a pretty good week until Saturday and saturday it felt like everything just tore apart lol. We both ended the day and were like "that was probably the worst day I've had in awhile" but you gotta have bad days to have good days. But let's get into the week!! 

Our friend Tyler who ive been talking about who's on date for baptism, we found out needs first presidency approval for baptism which SUCKSSSSS we also found out due to the repentance process he can't get baptized til hes gone to church a total of 12 times which is brutal. We are just scared hes not gonna stay motivated but I guess we will see. 

We got out of a lesson with one of our friends and his son in law pulled up right as we went outside. He comes and talks to us and pulls us aside and says "thats my father in law hes Christian already, if you come back I'll take you to court for elder abuse" like brooo whatttt such an opp bro. 

Lastly we are now in a trio due to someone going home. Which is hard cuz this missionary isn't the most obedient and doesn't really care anymore. He also has said probably the craziest things I've ever heard out of someone's mouth before. Definitely been hard to feel the spirit this week, but that is okay!! 

Anyways that's all I got!! Spiritual thought 

19 And we did magnify our office unto the Lord, taking upon us the responsibility, answering the sins of the people upon our own heads if we did not teach them the word of God with all diligence; wherefore, by laboring with our might their blood might not come upon our garments; otherwise their blood would come upon our garments, and we would not be found spotless at the last day.

Send me an email!!

St. Anna's golf tournament and Bingo

My friend Kim, works for the Greek Orthodox church.  The other Greek Parish was having a Golf Tournament.  Sandra, Maureen, Kim and Victoria played in the tournament.  

Had to leave bright and early to get there for the 8:00 shotgun start.

Here I am checking out the outfit

Lined up and ready for us to load

Here we are.  We all have matching shirts from yadda golf.  Love them.

Look how cute we all are.  

We were the only all female 4 some to play in the tournament

Carting with Sandra

Posted in the social media page for the church,

We played a great game.  We were 6 over Par.  We didn't win any prizes but had a great time and lunch after. And a new shirt.  After the tournament, we had to head straight to Bingo in Brigham City. 

It is the second Saturday of the month.  We wore our matching shirts because we didn't have time to go home.  We also picked up our other golf friend, Jenny.  She didn't have a matching shirt.  )

I actually won a game of Bingo.  I have never won since we have been going.  I won 15.00.  

We also entered the raffle.  The raffle I would just assume not enter but everyone else buys tickets so I hate to not be a follower.  I did win a prize this time.  This burner.  It could have been so much worse.  

Bingo is such great people watching.  They serve us dinner, this time we had Chow mein which is such a strange thing to have, but it was really good.  We sit and dob out numbers, and then laugh and drive home hoping we don't win anything with the raffle.  Oh and it is for a good cause every time.  That's why we go to support the charity...)  

This is a better pic of us.  We strugled to get any selfie pic.  We are all too old to be good at taking selfies...)

Valley View and St. George

 Headed to Valley View at 6:20 am on Friday.  Seriously that is early.  Left around 5:30 am.  But it was a bit chilly and ended up such a beautiful day. 

Here comes the sun

After golf, headed to Black Bear diner and while there, decided to see if there were any tickets to Les Miserables at Tuacahn in St. George for that night.  Yes, there were tickets available.  Bought them and headed to St. George.  

Got there in plenty of time for Curtain Call 8:45 pm

Show was absolutely fantastic.  Probably one of the best shows I have seen there.  

Next day early we headed over to Black Desert Golf Resort. They were having a tournament and we went to this crazy putting green.  

Crazy fake grass and hills and just something I have never seen.

Got some breakfast at their clubhouse and a bottle of water.

Breakfast Burrito on the menu.

Loved this plant.  The desert plants are always so beautiful and interesting. 

Back home after all the traffic.  Fast and fun.  Love the St. George

Summer Lunch at Grandma's and a Lobster sweater

 It was Lunch at Grandma's house today.  Andrew and Brooke go on Mondays.  I conveniently don't have golf today so I joined them.  We had Zupas and Nick and Andrew had Wing Stop.  Grandma didn't like the lettuce at the Zupas.  I love the lettuce.  

This is a better picture after I cleaned the camera..

Sunday I wore a new sweater and skirt (but no one even knows the skirt is new).  Sitting with God of of course early.

Couldn't decide what shoes to wear.  I found those blue ones in the closet in the box that I think I ordered last year and forgot them.  The vote was for the Blue shoes.

Here's the whole outfit.  A Lobster Sweater  Yes serious.  Lobster.  I also had some Lobster earings on that I ordered from Temu.  The sweater was from Jcpenney.  I got two compliments on the sweater at church.  Really No one even bother's with me at church.  

Nick came to church with me because he didn't work at Lowe's until 2:00.  He wasn't having a picture during church.  

Look at the cute shoes.  The blue were really cute.  I was afraid I would be too tall in them....I just can't be over 6 ft 6 in.

Later in the day watching the Golf Tournament on TV.  Poston won.  

I also found these shoes new in a box.  I think I need to wear them.  

Brooke was at work and the Ton was home. She was going to be late because they had an Otter born.  She needed someone to let out the Ton so I went to her new house in Syracuse and let him out.  It was probably the ONLY time he has been excited to see me.  

Took him on a walk

Jack turned 20 on the mission this week.  I sent him some Crumbl cookies for his Birthday.  Here's the delivery.  I was surprised they got there in about 30 minutes in Anchorage.  I was impressed.  I don't do Doordash so much but maybe I should.
