Play Matters

May 4th, 2015 Letter..............


 So, not much to talk about this week. It was sorta sad because all of our our teaching appointments fell through, which was sorta disheartening.... Those people and their darn agency! As wonderful as a gift it is, people tend to use it in ways that I wish they wouldn't, but there are situations that are out of our control. What we did do, though was take advantage of everything that we could control! It was pretty sweet because we have been planning this huge service project for our district that our sisters found, so that happened this week.
      We built/ put together a huge playground for a rather ghetto community. Haha! It looked super good by the time we finished it. With about 200 people there, we built it in about 4 hours or so. There were team of people working with cement, some in mulch, some on the big toy, some on the hopscotch and four square, and some in the woodworking part where we built benches, planters, picnic tables, and pavilions. I was in the woodworking section with Elder Nielson. We built a bench by ourselves, so there is a wooden bench there that just the missionaries built. Coolieo, huh!? My group was the mustache group, so we had mustaches on our name tags. After it was built, we had some kids do a presentation on why playing matters and he educational benefits to it all. Really cool.

     That is probably the highlight of the week. Stake conference was awesome! President Riggs spoke with Sister Riggs, so that was cool. Great talks and things pointed out. The theme for it was all on missionary work with the Ward Council. I really liked it. We also had Duty to God, Dodgeball, and Doughnuts! I don't know if I wrote about that yet, but it is a young men's dealing that we are doing to ultimately get them worthy to come pass/bless the sacrament. Anyways, that went super well, so that was awesome! 

     Not much else to write about, but I do love you all and hope you have a stellar week as well! Happy Star Wars Day!!!
