Except for a couple of shopping excursions, I have been at home ironing! Yes, I let it creep up on me again. Those 14 white shirts lull me into thinking I can get to it later, and then suddenly the closet is bare. But once again the white, and the two light blue (for p-days) are hanging primly on hangers, ready to be worn.
It was a sunlit day with occasional showers and it was lovely. SK served in the temple today for several hours, while I was the apartment drudge....but it felt good to clean and do some scrubbing. After lunch we walked to a store where we did some shopping.
Later in the day SK went with the missionaries to teach a young man who is very interested in the Gospel. He enjoyed that immensely. He spent extra time there and was able to share his testimony with him about the Book of Mormon. Meanwhile, back at the apartment, the drudge was creating more ironing by doing more washing.
It's OK....really! That fact is that once in awhile it just plain feels good to do that. Besides, I listened to some fantastic CES Fireside talks.
We both had a very productive day.
I love listening to those CES Fireside talks when I am doing the drudge of housework or bottling fruit! It makes the time go faster! In fact, I love listening to books on tape when I travel too because before you know it, you are there! Hang in there! And don't dream too much about Az. It will be here when you get back. :) I tell Josh that you have 23 months to do it and a lifetime to remember it. Don't waste a second of it thinking about home! :)
ReplyDeleteMagnificent counsel! My time here is going so fast.....
ReplyDeleteThose CES Fireside talks are outstanding and entertaining and uplifting. I hope Josh is having a grand time! He is such a people person, how can he not be a great missionary?
