this is going to be a frantic email haha because i have an hour until pday is over.... we spent the rest of the day going around to some shops and i also did some researching on where you can stay. the other one i heard from a senior was fake news because i did all the research and its meant for youth groups and its over 300 dollars haha.
so the best one in town is the 60 dollars a night at the havenlight gallery apartments. so definitely call scott sumner about it because that is the way to go. and probably call him sooner rather than later, so it can be reserved(: just remember to tell him that you are sister bush's parents haha
as for other things, i already told you about how i'm spending all my time trying to stay dedicated and focused. which is way good. i've had some really awesome study sessions (like the alma 32 revelation one i was talking about) and others. like another cool one i had was reading alma 26 and realizing that i can relate to ammon in such a personal way now. because the way he feels about his mission is exactly the same way that i feel about mine! man i love it. i love the scriptures!!!!!
a couple favorite experiences from this week:
i was having a lousy day at brigham youngs house. i didn't stay focused very well because there was a mouse that kept bothering us and it was fun to take videos and try to bait it and stuff and before i knew it i had "wasted" good study time on this mouse. and because of that i felt like i had been giving some pretty pathetic tours haha. well, i realized this and began to pray for a better attitude and for at least one more tour to come in so i could have at least one good one. well, this one family showed up and the kids did not want to get out. it was there last stop of the day and they were done haha. you know kids. well the parents asked me to like help encourage them to come by telling them how fun the home is. well, i get up, start talking to them and before i could stop myself i heard myself saying the words "if you can guess the end of one of the stories i tell ill let you touch an artifact" OH NO WHAT HAVE I DONE haha i was shocked it just sorta came out! well that got them in the house. and then i helped them guess the ending. so low and behold they got to touch the chair made by phineas young and mary anns bonnet. boy i hope no one finds out about that..... but ive thought about it and it really doesn't matter. its just an old chair! and because i let it happen, those kids had the best experience ever. they just LOVED it and they actually listened when i bore my testimony too. so it was meant to be i guess! haha
another one was when i was at the brickyard, ya know, living the life and making bricks hahaha and i get this tour of these 4 adults and they are literally the funniest people i've ever met. we just made fun of each other the whole time! haha it was great. they were older but they acted like they were in their late teens. well at the end it was the best cuz i gave them a brick and the main jokester took a pencil and wrote sister bush on the back. he was like "i want to remember who made this brick." and i was like "awkward cuz i didn't make that one...." and we were all laughing and he was like "WELLLLL close enough" hahaha but it was also kind of tender cuz he's going home with a brick that says sister bush on the back. cute.
also! with all the time in the temple we spend, we've made quite a few temple missionary friends! the Linsleys invited us over for dinner and it was literally the sweetest ever. they are so cute. he told us a story about them and their family on a boat during a storm and how they were safe because they put their anchors out when it was still calm. he bore his testimony about how we need to put our spiritual anchors out. it was so cute, he got chocked up about it too! aw i just love it.
i love everything about nauvoo and the people here. i'm really just soaking it up. i only have 1 month left but i know i will enjoy every second of it(: and then ill enjoy every second at home too! because the work wont stop!!!
love you!!!!! more than you know!!!!!
