Catching up to Tuesday

Friday,  May 8th

Today we had our Ocho de Mayo celebration.  Basically a chance to celebrate mexican cuture with the wsrd and neighborhood.  I got the chance to talk Spanish to a lady from Panama and also to play Uno cards with some teenagers who were skateboarding in the parking lot. One of our ward members was kind enough to invite them in.

Saturday May 9th

Today Megan and I planted flowers for Mommy and we all took a nice mothers day gift to my mother in law.

Sunday May 10th

Today was all about Kristen!!!  I made breakfast and dinner, put Mel down for a nap, played with the girls in the back and we did a dance party!!!

Monday May 11th

This evening I got to spend time with Melody and go on a nice walk to the mailbox. We didnt have Megan with us so we got to walk at a slower pace and Melody got to hold keys the whole time. Her favorite thing!!!

1st week of May

Well here I am writing on my blog on a Thursday night.

Here is what happened thiis week:

Sunday May 3rd

I went to visit my neighbor Luis with my daughter Melody to give him a flyer to our upcoming missionary/ward party. I had a great conversation with him on the porch.  He is a really cool guy and has quite a bit in common with me.

Monday May 4th

Well we have been working with one of our part member families and trying to get them in with one of our strong families to have a meal and make more friendships.

Well since there was some communication mixups the dinner never happened and I was afraid that we would damage the progress we have made so far so I bought them pizza and dropped it off! They loved that...who doesnt love pizza?!?

Tuesday May 5th

During lunch I arranged rides for Johnnie to be able to go down to a career class at the lds employment center.

Wednesday May 6th

I have tried to go out of my way to introduce myself and get to know some of the new guys at work: John, Grover,  Justin, and Pat.

Thursday May 7th

Im sitting in a parking lot at a Lowes in Apache Junction to meet up with some people that want to buy some pond supplies from me. Even though they are really late...im being really cool about it and not negative at all :)

This past week

Ive started slipping on the daily opportunities to help other people so I will do a better job at paying attention to what I can do.

But this past week I did have the opportunity to help Johnnie out. I helped him build a resume, cover letter, and his list of references. And today he came over and I helped him apply to 30+ jobs!!!
