Be worried for me. I have finally started doing the unthinkable.
I have conceded to do that which I never have done, and as such, am morphing
into a super-market super-villain.
I am a cashier's worst nightmare,
I’m the “in-a-rush” mom's worst fear.
I am the sworn enemy of all 10-items-or-less lanes.
I'm........
The Coupon Clipper!
Yes, yes, you may make a grave for my youth, for my frivolous
spending, for my blind, oblivious teenager-esque grocery trips. 78 cents
for macaroni and cheese? No more! "The Coupon
Clipper" has a 20 cent coupon from this week's penny saver.
(Oh woe to the fact that "penny saver" is now in my vocabulary)
Well.... I guess it's not as bad as all of that, but it
does cause quite a delay for: "My name is: Rosa"…who was hoping
to take her break in 5 minutes.
Why have I started clipping you ask? Because I, (the
former, oblivious, frivolous me) learned that I had $6.15 left on
my food card the last week of the month,(the week before the card was reloaded)…
and buying a week’s worth of food for six dollars was.......a challenge.
Therefore I have decided to go against every teenage grain in my body and start
to actually spend my money wisely. ALSO, we're using the leftover coupons to
make THIS…
da-da-DAH! piñatas!!!! Well.....baby piñatas. These are pictures
of my companions by the way. Have you met? Oh good, I can introduce you to them
before we have transfers next week. On the left is Hermana Taboada and on the
right is Hermana Sudweeks.
I love these people!
So, kind of a slow week as to actually teaching lessons (boo.)
BUT we were able to FIND a lot of people, so hopefully next week we can teach a
lot more!
In this week’s blog post I’m going to do something a little bit
new. Instead of a WIWTK, I'm going to start another...er...for lack of a better
word, Segment titled:
Do you want to take
the lessons from me through this blog?
Reasons why you should say “yes.”
If you are currently a member:
1. You can actually know exactly what the missionaries are
going to teach your friends or referrals, and you won't have to be nervous.
2. Haven’t you wondered what missionaries are teaching anyway?
3. It’s always good to review the fundamentals of the gospel in their
simplest form.
4. They are guaranteed to be a spiritual pick-me up!
5. They are a REALLY good way to invite your friends to check
out the church without any pressure. You could even (here's an idea) read the
lessons WITH them! (Just in case they have any questions, and if you want to
bear testimony of a principle)
If you're not a member:
1. To find and better understand the basic beliefs of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints
2. You’re thinking about inviting the Mormon missionaries into
your home, but aren't sure because you don't know what they'll teach, here you
go!
3. Spiritual edification!
4. There is absolutely no pressure. AND you can always write to
me and I will answer your questions. Or you can get in contact with the
missionaries in your area and they will answer your question happily in person!
If you're a returned missionary:
1. See " if you're a member"
2. It’s yet another chance to bear your testimony by leaving a
comment!
Anyone is free to comment. Everyone is encouraged to invite
someone else to read. Sound like a plan? O.k. next week I will begin with the
first principle of the first lesson.
You’re awesome. Pretty much you just make me smile. And
sleep-laugh (which is apparently something I do? I didn’t know about this but all
of my companions have told me I do.)
