Just witnessed a 90% total eclipse. Super cool! Almost the whole city of Blacksburg went to North Carolina or Tennessee to see the actual thing. Yup, it's a good thing this is our day off! Really love the majesty of our Creator, Jesus Christ. Under the direction of the Father, the Son gathered materials and formed the earth. Personally, I think some dinosaur bones were floating around in space from another realm and got caught up in the debris, and the Lord was like, "Oh well, something for scientists to discover." I know that's not doctrine, but the Church has no statement on Dinosaurs, and Imma gonna have to wait 80 years to ask the Source of All Knowledge, so gimme a break ;p
Happy Birthday to muh DA!!!!! (Tuesday, the 15th of Aug) Also, happy birthday to Percy Jackson (the 18th of Aug)(sorry PJ, didn't have any blue food coloring). I also celebrated my 7th month on the mission!!!!!! I dressed up in my sailor dress; Sister Harris did my makeup and plucked my eyebrow for the first time ever!!!; Ate at Gobble Cakes(cupcake place with boss frosting and killer flavors).
Funny story of the week!
So, we sisters of Blacksburg ride the city buses quite often. And we've gotten to know quite a few bus drivers. In fact, the elders are teaching one of the bus drivers. Anyways, the past month, there has been this really attractive bus driver who looks EXACTLY like Leonardo DiCaprio! Put the pieces together, shall we? 1. Very attractive bus driver our age. 2. What do we do all day? We go tracting. 3. We are the YSA sisters, so we knock apartments. 4. Cute DiCaprio lookalike most likely lives in an apartment.... Guess who we bumped into this Thursday? That's right!! Sister Harris and I knocked into Colby the Bis Driver, AKA Leonardo DiCaprio's doppleganger from Titanic!!! I was so flustered, especially when he started flirting with us! I held my ground. We gave him a Book of Mormon, invited him to church, and we may or may not go back to follow up.. depending on the strength of sister Peacock, hehe!
We got some very interesting news this morning from the Mission President. Elder Cook will be visiting the mission this upcoming month. We will be addressed by him, shake his hand, and take a group photograph. There's a lot of strict rules we need to follow, considering the fact that an apostle of the Lord is coming! I am so stoked!
I love you all so much!! I see my families smiling faces everyday on my study wall, but I wish I had photos of each and every one of you. Thank you for your prayers... They keep me going :)
