Week 31

 


What's up everyone hope all is well with you guys. This week was a pretty slow week but it ended off really good. We got a referral this week from the sisters in council bluffs and he is so elect!! 

 Monday: you know I was Ballin like usual. I couldn't miss until I went up for a rebound and landed on my ankle so i had to get a quick sub and then that guy got injured on the next play but then he got a sub and our team won 6 straight games sooo it was a really fun p day. After p day ended we went with our friend Mark to family home evening class and had to explain person revelation to him which was tough but I think he got it 

 Tuesday: we knocked a lot of doors and nobody was really interested. We did have a lesson with our boy mark... well if you want to call It that he basically just complained about his life for an hour and then we gave him a blessing and left but marks gonna get baptized next transfer which is so hype! 

 Wednesday: just knocked all day and no homies wanted to hear about my man Jesus 

 Thursday: we woke up pretty sick but we were like "Frick it we ball" after a quick comp study nap we went to work... and nobody wanted to hear a message but that's alright because we got lots of return appointments. 

 Friday: nothing happened again! We did get our car fixed though. I think the church needs to invest in some better cars because these rogues do not work. 

 Saturday: we drove over to Iowa for a pass off lesson with the sisters because they were teaching a guy who actually lives in our area. We had a super good lesson with my Daniel. He is so cool. He loves college sports so he had to fill me in on whats going on in ncaa basketball but then we had a dope plan of salvation lesson. We almost got him to set a date for Baptism but we didn't remember any of the dates in April so kindve and L but he's gonna get baptized! 

 Sunday: all week we had been struggling finding people go teach but on GameDay 3 ppl came through and pulled up to church. It was so cool! And our boy James came to church and told us he wants to be baptized so now we are going over later this week and he's feeding us!!! Big miracle!! We also had the most ppl in sacrament meeting in almost 2 years on Sunday. 

 Well that was my week! I'm starting to finally see some progress in this area! Inactives are starting to come back and the people we are teaching actually want to come to church! We've put a lot of ground work in the last transfer and a half and it's so nice to see it all come together! Hope yall have a safe wee!! Imma go ball on some kids. Remember God loves you!!! 

 

No pics this week:(

Be Like Scottie Scheffler's Grandma

 


Scottie Scheffler is the number 1 golfer in the PGA right now.  I think we should all be like his grandma.  WALK all the holes with him using our walker.  :)  


Here's my golf for the weekend.  Glen Eagle golf course in Syracuse.  It was flat, but see that water on the right side, it was everywhere.  I have got to get a scoop so I can get my balls out of the water.  





THE new gadget.  A golf heater.  It doesn't work so well in the wind, but I'm excited for it to take it to the LAX games.  I am not sure if I can carry the blankets, help marlena, take her chair, her purse, her rain bonnet and her water AND the golf heater and get into the games.  I might have to bring the wagon that I have.  I will have to put it together.  





Here's what Brooke and Wonton did over the weekend.  Notice their matching vests?  It is St. John's Bark brand.  So hilarious


Speaking of Grandmas, this is my grandma's house


This is what Michelle did over the weekend.  Drove by Delta and this is my Grandma's house.  So many memories.  Looks lonely especially since Grandma isn't standing outside waving to us because she was so excited we came for a visit.

Bountiful vs Park City LAX

 LAX against Park City on Friday night. What a great thing to do on Friday Night.  Much better than football.  Less crowded and you don't have to pay.  :)  






Great pic of Jack.  He is in the white.  This is from soneone else that took it.  


I like this one too


This is mine .  Not that great from the stands.  It was super cold so any pictures I get are a bonus because my hands were so cold.  















I didn't get any pictures, of him, but he did go down in the 3rd quarter.  He was on the opposite sides of the field so i didn't see it.  he said he got cross checked in the shoulder.  He stayed down and the trainer had to go get him and help him. He was holding his shoulder.  He got all taped up and gave me the thumbs up so I suspected he was going to live and not need surgery.

Saturday morning he said he was ok but it hurt like _____.  

They lost to Park City like 15-5.  The first time I saw Park city they lost something like 30 - 5.  They are getting better.  Super cold night.  It said it was 36 degrees.  The Grandma and I left early with 4 minutes to go which is against everything I believe in.  Jack was on the sideline with an injury so I thought it might be ok.  Plus I thought the grandma might freeze to death or not be able to walk to the car due to frozen feet.  

Jack had a great game before he got hurt.

Toe problems

 

I have been having a problem with my big toe.  I decided to go see my favorite Podiatrist, Dr. tight pants.  

His real name is Dr. Seagle.  He does all our feet issues.  He also did my ankle surgery.  He is super hot and likes to wear these tight lulu lemon pants that have this cool zipper.  

I get there and I don't have an ingrown toe nail like I thought.  He has already fixed it before but he said I had a calous under my toe nail that was causing it to hurt.  So he trimmed it out.




This is how he left me.  If it doesn't fix it, he said he will cut out some of the nail and remove more and the nail will grow back so it doesn't look weird.  



This is it this morning.  It feels better although it looks gross.  I definitely need a pedicure when this is all healed.

I think I need to retire since I have all these dr appts now.





Bountiful vs East

 






JV roster





I only took 4 pictures because it was absolutely freezing.   had a pretty good view of Jack when he was out resting so that is why I have two of him.  He is 7. 

He played a great game against East.  They lost 8-6 or something like that.

Colonoscopy

 

Just by looking at this picture, one could guess what I had ahead of me.  


This is the colonoscopy prep.  I had been fasting since the night before (well really since about 3:00 due to the tire incident) .

Noon takes 4 dulcolax pills.

5:00 mix 64 ounces gatorade with an entire jug of Miralax and drink 8 ounces every 10 minutes until two glasses are left.  

Then wait. 

Clear liquids only.  And 5 hours before the procedure drink the rest of the liquid.  That was at 2:30 am for me.  My procedure was 7:30.  

I had heartburn all night and I had to just suffer.  

Brooke arrived at 7:10 and we drove over.  Got the proedure done and was out of there by 9:30. 


They said I was a fall risk so I had to wear this wrist band.  


We went to Mcdonalds and got a bisquit sandwich to tide us over then home to take a quick nap. 









 
After our nap, we took Ty a treat at the jail.  We took him a cheese ball, wheat thins, snickers and a drink.  We also bought us a fake crab cheeseball and wheat thins.  Wheat thins were 5.50 a box. Seriously.  
THEN we went to Target and finally, to Olive Garden for lunch.  It was absolutely fabulous.  I was thinking about Olive Garden since Sunday.  
THEN since it was Pi day (3/14) we got Crumbl cookies because they had Mud Pie.  Had to try them.




They really were great.

Had a great time with Brooke.  It is almost worth all the prep just to have a good day off work.

Good News, I only had one polyp removed that was 4 mm.  If it isn't cancerous I can get a 10 year clear until the next colonoscopy.  Here's hoping  



Here's my results from the doc

AND here's what he said AFTER the biopsy


I was hoping for 10 year clear, but 7 year is good.  Last time I only got 5.  So here's to7 years!








Potholes for the lose

 

Sunday Night we were traveling to pick something up in Ogden.  Then we were stopping and getting some dinner because I had until 7:00 pm to eat due to a colonoscopy I had scheduled in two days.    On the way back, we hit a pothole and tore a hole in two of the tires.  We had to pull over and call a tow truck.  



As we waited for the tow truck (I was waiting in the tow truck)  TWO other cars pulled over because they also hit the same pot hole and got a flat tire.  




My view from the tow truck. It was a super clean tow truck.  We rode with the driver to the tire store.

The real problem with this incident is that this made us late and we didn't get to the tire store until after 7:00 pm.  I didn't get to have my last dinner (we were stopping for Chinese).  I was now fasting until Tuesday.
