Missions Weekend

This last week at school was student missions emphasis week. Each day the department did something different like handing out doughnuts on the Promenade or all wearing our shirts... etc. Friday night we all marched in with the different flags of the world and had a special vespers. It was really quite fun.

Everybody standing in the atrium waiting.

Grace and Robbie. Robbie went to highschool with us way back in the day.

Always together. Doesn't get much better than that.

Sara and I. She was a task force dean last year too. Can you tell I felt a little like Miss America? A girls dream come true without even trying lol.

Then sabbath afternoon was spent at the Missions expo where students put together booths to try and recruit for the places they went to. This the deaning booth. Desmond was a chaplain but his booth was next to ours. Between the two booths there was a good ten of us that just had a ton of fun all afternoon.

This is Grace's booth. I wish you could have seen the whole place. They do it in the student center and it's really really colorful with a big blown up globe in the center. It just makes you want to go out and be a missionary tomorrow.


Then came Saturday night in which I was determined to do something fun. Grace was off carving pumpkins with the Chemistry dept and I was feeling inspired so we went to get a pumpkin from walmart...and some stuff to make cookies with.

(This is the pumpkin Grace and Sarah carved. Isn't it the coolest ever? It's Noah's Ark!)

On our way out the door we met this little guy. His name is Rocky, raised by one of the guys in the village. I've always wanted to hold a squirrel.

To make a long story short, while waiting for tanya to pick out a puzzle, which took 16 years, I kind of killed the pumpkin.


That's right, split the thing dead in half... on accident. Got it for free tho, they wouldn't let me pay for it. Anybody know some good pumpkin recipes since it's lost it's ability to be a pumpkin head?

After making myself what turned out to be amazing gluten free cookies from scratch (Grace wasn't sure if they were gluten free or not they tasted so amazing. how great is that!?) We watched Monster's Inc and put together the puzzle. Katelyn was there too but for some reason she didn't make it into any of the pictures.

Yep, it's of Las Vegas. It took tanya that long to pick out this puzzle mostly because she couldn't decide if it was OK to buy a puzzle of "sin city" even tho it was her favorite lol. So we sorta stayed up...extremely late doing this because we were almost done for 1 1/2 hrs.

Some areas were just a little bit harder then we thought.
