LIGHT OF LIFE
It really is the most wonderful time of the year. Cliche...perhaps. But grand I tell you. Simply grand. This week, I thought I'd give you a top 5 events of the week. I'm all about bullet points, don't get me wrong. But I thought I would "WOW" you all with a numbered list. Oh alright....and bullets too. Bullets will kick us off. They'll be the "misillanious thoughts" category.
- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
MAIRE MCCANISTER. Happy Day oh Happy Day!!! I know it was yesterday, but I'm sure you understand this whole, once a week thing. I love you so much Maire Face. Please eat lots of layer cake and call it a HC Andersen cake from La Glace. If only.... I love you lady!! Oh! And if you get the chance, make latkas (I hope I spelled that right...) with Garid! I miss you two!!! Happy happy birthday!! I LOVE YOU!!! - Mama CHELSEA Denster. Happy day to you! I heard about the feeding pump for Nicole. Ha! You know us Harmers...real classy. Grade A. I hope you have the best birthday ever. Maybe we'll bump into you in San Francisco and maybe your dad will almost give himself a concusion again this year. Love you!!
- UNCLE DAN!!!! Happy birthday!! I love you so much!! If I were home, I would be calling you and asking about directions to get off the island of Northern California. :) I love you so much!!! I'm eating lots of pie on your behalf. LOVE YOU!!
- CONGRATS BRETT ROBERSTON!!
HOORAY Fancy brother-in-law/my sister's baby daddy! Hooray!! I am so grateful that you are so fabulously you. I hope that you all have so much fun in Vegas!! (And P.S...I keep meeting Lehi HS students. Haha! It's pretty fantastic. I always say..."Oh yeah, Do you know Brett Robertson, the Ag teacher?". The responses are always very positive. You're a pretty hip dude apparently. I don't need no high school student to tell me that one. You are fabuloso. - THANK YOU DAD and PAIGE
for the pictures of the baby shower!!! I relished those!! It was so nice to get caught up. It helped me feel like I was there. Thank you!!!!
Next Wednesday is transfer day, so I might have a new P-day...so Thursday I might not be e-mailing. Just a heads up.
ALRIGHTY here's some of the high lights of the week.
- Jimmy Stewart---Yep. Last night, my companions (Sister Fox and Sister Everett) introduced the movie "Mr. Kruger's Christmas". When I asked the crowd who had seen it before, about 1/2 of them raised their hand. When I said, "Well, get excited. Jimmy Stewart's in there", a tween from the crowd said, "Who's Stewart?". My heart sunk as I gasped for air. Ok. Maybe a little dramatic...but I definitely felt old. I almost asked him to look up, keyword "JIMMY or JAMES STEWART" on his cell phone. Oh man....
- Dallin H. Oaks---Yes. I definitely met this apostle. Here's a link to his Bio: Dallin H. Oaks. But in the most unpredictable of circumstances. The hour was about, oh 6:15am. In the morning. No sunshine out yet. A group of us were assigned to go wash the mission vans. He came up to us and shook our hands, asked us where we were from and thanked us for our service. Nothing crazy. And yes. We were in our sweats.
- Reggie from Alaska/Japan---awesome guy. When Sister Fox, Sister Everett and I shared with him the scripture from Moroni: (click here to see it), we told him that he could read the Book of Mormon for himself. And that he could pray to find out if it's contents are really from God or not. There's one part that says: "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would aask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not btrue; and if ye shall ask with a csincere heart, with dreal intent, having efaith in Christ, he will fmanifest the gtruth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost" He couldn't stop thinking about Lauryn Hill's "These things, these things...." Love it.
- Carol from Temple Square-- (she's my friend, and one of the the homeless women that frequent here) She admonished me when I didn't have a heavier coat on. "Where's your coat young lady?" "Oh I'm inside for a few hours" "Oh. Well, that's just me being mother hen..."
- LIGHTS---CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO of the lights at Temple Square. It's a great preview of where I am right now and what I'm doing. (It's about halfway down the page).
I LOVE YOU ALL!!
TAKE CARE!
Sister Amy Harmerino
