To Denver and Back Again

This week I got to go back to Littleton.  It was the best.  There was a specialized training that 50 missionaries were invited to attended in my old church building. A member of the 70 came and did a training.  He talked a lot about the gospel of Jesus Christ and how that really is the message we should teach around.  All of the lessons are centered on that and we better not forget it.  We also got to see the new Easter video which is just fantastic.  The hardest part was not going around and knocking on every member of the Cornerstone Park Ward's home and giving them a hug.  I did find out some very exciting news though.  President Gibb came up to me and said I have something to tell you about Nathan [fondly referred to as the dragon guy at our house].  I was like "yea." He said that he had the meeting with Nathan's parents and the parents dropped us.  About a week later Nathan called the Elders and said that he still wanted to meet with the missionaries and that every thing was okay.  He is getting baptized at the end of the month. :) 

We spent Wednesday driving and then Thursday was the meeting and driving back.  It was a lot of driving, but it was a pretty drive and Denver was super fun.  On the way back we found a Target so we stopped for a little as our dinner break. 

On our way to Denver we got to drive through Sister Herring's old area too.  That was super fun.  We decided to go to this Sushi restaurant that she just loved.  One of the many reasons she loved it was because it played pop music.  We went in and sat down.  There was not pop music playing there was some instrumental music playing.  It was nice; then we realized that it was an instrumental of I Love to See the Temple. We just both started laughing at our table. We got a few weird looks. 

I also got to go on another exchange in Steamboat.  Everyone decided that we were the people to tell their entire life story too.  We met a former drug dealer, someone who was trying to track down their ex, and many more odd things.  We also volunteered at an Animal shelter which was fun. 

Denese quit smoking this week which is exciting.  After our lesson she was like I need to stop smoking tonight.  She handed us her box of cigarettes and told us to throw them out.  She still has not been able to come to church yet.  Maybe next Sunday though.

Have a great week.    

Accurate picture of how excited we were to go to Denver.

 I like them, they actually are color changing.  The darker blue turns more like the sparkly blue color when they are warm.  They used to be a bright sparkly pink color.
