This was actually pretty funny. Sister Roake and I wanted to have some fun. So while at a Zone Activity, we snuck to where one of the Elders cowboy hats were and took some pictures with them. The funny thing about this is, is that we wanted to take pictures of ourselves with this Elders camera. We thought we were sooooo funny, but when we found out that the camera that we used wasn't that Elders and it was someone else's...we felt pretty stupid!

a family activity in Rexburg, ID. One of the families had brought these awesome dragon wings, sword and shield so we had some fun.

Sister Deana Willerth, showing off
her "pink patch" which was to tell me
that she was thinkin' of me...as one of my fav. colors is pink : ) You can see our Johnny Lingo and his Mahana behind her.

This was such a great district!! After a
District Meeting we all decided to take this
photo. It turned out perfect!

Sister Roake and I-today was a great day...for the most part. It was July 31st...my one year mark out on my Mission, and it was also Sister Roakes birthday. That same night at our dinner appointment was the most embarrassing moment on my mission...perhaps in my life! We were over at the Olsen's house. After everyone had served themselves, I had the pleasure of having the gravy set down beside me. One small move of my elbow flung the spoon in the air along with the gravy flying all over myself and Sister Roake. I don't think I've laughed so hard in my entire life. It was one of those scenes you can picture in slow motion...classic!

This was the funniest day. One Preparation Day in Idaho Falls Sister Roake and I were in our Apt. When our neighbor Chris started talking to us outside through our window. She was pressing her face up against our screen, which was apparentaly dirty. Before we told her she had dirt on her face we took a picture, because it was too funny not to! We laughed and laughed. I don't think Chris thought it was very funny though.
