January marches on here in Arizona. Nights get downright chilly but temperatures climb to the low sixties and even seventies during the day. It means we drive to the mission office in the morning with the heater and drive home in the afternoon with the air conditioner!
I kept myself busy this week finishing a dress for Larkin. When it came time to look for buttons, I found these adorable owl ones!
But the package had way more than I needed for the dress so Emily suggested I make a little tote bag to match. And, I had still more owl buttons to use so I made two front pockets. Then, I started to wonder if Lucy would feel left out. Emily advised me to make little vests and skirts for Lucy to dress her stuffed animals. And, so, below is the end result.
I watched two movies while I sewed - both on Amazon Prime: The Lightkeepers (a sweet romantic movie) and Miss Congeniality (which I've seen many times)
We invited Amy, Cory, Cade, and Colby to dinner last night. This was no small undertaking for any of us because of the wheelchairs. And, I am discovering that most people in the greater Phoenix metro area, don't venture far from home. Mesa to Anthem - a 50 minute drive? Nope. So, we were grateful that the Ellsworths made the trip. We fixed homemade pizza - both gluten-full and gluten-free and both were a success. And, I forgot to take a photo!
Below are some random office photos. First is Scott Collins, son of the mission president. I teach him a piano lesson every Monday. This past Monday, we had some shredding of old documents for him to do after his lesson.
Tuesday was Leadership Training Meeting and I noticed that Elders Snell, Scheible, and Aiken all had matching ties so I took a picture.
On Wednesday, we had a visit from a former missionary, Gabe De La Cruz, and his fiance.
On Thursday, I walked into the workroom to find Elder Shad Johnson with this on his head. Apparently, it is passed around to elders reaching their midway point of their mission - or "hump day"
And, we have just a little over four months left of our mission!
