peace pimpin' aint easy. the chamber singers filled in for 1st pres' choir this morning which required early risin... always fun! we sang a couple ditties at the 8 and 11am services which was.. well, painful. firstly there was the whole early thing -but thats generally whateva, but then we had to sit through this awful sermon TWICE! haha seriously, they're usually pretty good but this one was weirdly organized and didnt seem to actually convey a message.. strange.
the services were made even weirder by this woman's testimony about her volunteering experience in bolivia. apparently her most spiritually moving moment was when she gave a girl the "gift of beauty" by paying $25 bucks for a couple root canals. interesting how her spiritual experience had nothing to do with God but had everything to do with her making the girl's life better through aesthetics... very interesting...
needless to say we were all fighting sleep... soo painful... soooo painful...
came back to peace for fall carnival and manned the anthro club pumpkin walk which was actually really nice. the weather was beautiful, there were tons of kids, and everyone was having a great time! im actually surprised i didnt steal a few toddlers on the way out... there were some very adorable and deliciously awkward children out today -it was glorious haha. mom and caroline brought the boys out too which was great! isaac got tons of candy and sam made me presents and fetched me candy hahaha. having a 12 year old boyfriend rocks -lemme tell ya.
halloween party this week and i am so stoked! it's finally time to go shopping and decorate in a major way. annnnnnd it seems like we're gonna have a really good turn out! lets keep our fingers crossed that my shoes get here in time!
