My Young Women's Calling

Mia Maid Back-to-School Feast

The ladies I work with are basically professional entertainers and had floral crowns made, individual desserts, and instructed me to coordinate serving with them from the same side of the table and to the right... instead of all cray-cray like I had done with the first course...


Year #3 of the Amazing Race. Our part of the race started with missionary appearance prep and culminated in teaching a discussion to pretend investigators.

The girls tied the boys' ties...

The boys put on the girls' make-up





The men helped...

... in their own way


The boys had to put in a ponytail, which was surprisingly difficult for them...



The boys have remnants of their craft-stick shave.... A team member also had to iron a shirt and another to sew on a button. It was a lot of work. I mean fun.

I spoke a bit at our YW in Excellence dinner, "Be a Force for Good" (with a Star Wars theme)

The set up took 3 hours, 2 changes of venue, and about 16 people to put it together, pffffff
But it turned out so awesome.

I've loved working with the Young Women...so much more than I even thought I would πŸ’–

Fall Break! 2016

Loved the condo Rob rented... it was so well organized and thought out. I'm obsessed with that kind of stuff. I started crushing on the phantom lady who put it together πŸ’˜
Videos late at night. Watching "Daddy's Home" on VidAngel was like seeing it 4 times in one sitting (random scene replays πŸ˜†πŸ˜’)


A couple of quick hikes. I'm explaining how the cliff looks like two lovers kissing...


Am I crazy?












Bella Marie's Pizzeria, as usual. Plus the best vanilla/strawberry Italian sodas ever.


Getty showed us the cliff he scaled with Kevin. He climbed just past that hole on the left (check out the tiny hikers at the base). Getty can pretty much do anything... as long as it's deadly and/or insane. "He's a really good boy when he's asleep..." πŸ˜‚



Rob chased the boys around the Lazy River...





Getty reserves these facial expressions for me... 😊

Cy's general mood...



Dinner with our besties in St. George.

Cam and I went on a Ripstik/walk the next morning while Rob rented the gear for the day.




Rob made the rounds to come back and get Cam and I. 

Getty doing what Getty's do...



Check him out! When did he grow up?!


Moving over to my best side😜😊


Mud slinging (just like Trump, haha)




Thinking about it... (you know she will)



Mia kept slipping...
and sliding...



The only two to jump


So much fun. We'll be back here next year....

And here...
at the rope swing
It's an ice cold dunk for those of you who don't have Cheimaphobia (fear of cold) like me πŸ™‹ 

Cam

Mia (above); Cy (below)

Could the candidates be any scarier this year?... 😱

Shout out to the creepy killer clown rumor going around everywhere and freaking out all the kids...






The Hot Pots were loaded!

Getty dove deep to pitch black water and suddenly heard breathing right next to him... 😨
Scuba divers—see their bubbles? πŸ˜…...

St. George, you never let us down.
