This week has been a super busy week!!! But it has been great! Here
are my Top 5! :)

1.MOVING. We moved into a new apartment and lemme tell you it is a
palace compared to the old one! The old one had cracks in the walls
and the ceiling was sinking in and there was mold in the bathroom and
grime all over and it smelled eternally nasty. So we are very grateful
to be in a new place. It is nice and clean and the perfect size for
us. We have been on cloud nine enjoying our nice new apartment. We had
a lot of help to move and we were all unpacked and moved in that day.
It was basically fantastic!

2. MORMON FLIES. Have ya'll heard about Mormon Flies. They are the
plague of Nauvoo. They are these huge bugs that swarm like crazy all
over the place in the summer time. Seriously I cannot describe the
amount of nasty that is Mormon Flies. I cant even talk about it
anymore. Everyone needs to google them and then send me bug spray, ok?
And also pray that I don't get eating by these little spawns of Satan.
Thanks.

3. So the other night we found out that Hermana Smoot is deathly
allergic to peppers. So she likes to suck on hot sauce packets and
lately her mouth has been getting itchy and her lips swell a little.
She didn't think it was a big deal. Then one night she ate potato
salad with peppers in it and red pepper hummus and that night her
throat swelled up and she couldn't breathe. But this was in the middle
of the night and I was sound asleep and she didn't tell me until that
morning when her voice was gone and her throat super sore! Scary
right?! I was so mad at her for not telling me! We called the nurse
and now she has to have an EpiPen with her at all times because if she
eats peppers again it could be fatal!! Crazy right! It was so scary
but luckily she is just fine:)

4. Saturday night the elders in Burlington baptized a family and we
took our investigator Austin and his friend Sam to it and it was a
great baptism and everything was great and then afterwards there was a
huge storm and a couple of tornadoes touched down near by and it was
crazy! we had to stay the night in Burlington with the sisters cause
it wasn't safe to drive home! But all was well and the only damage was
emotional and of course a bunch of trees fell over. It was a super
cool storm! Iowa is definitely not boring.

5. This morning we went to the Temple with all the sisters in our
Zone. It was super fun! The Temple is always a great way to spend your
morning! I love it.
Nauvoo is super special and so beautiful!

So yep that was my week. I love every second I spend here and just,
wow everything is so great! I still wake up sometimes and am like, oh
my lanta I am on a mission! How cool is that!! Yep. True story. But
yeah I love and miss you all!! until next time...xoxox
