So this week has been pretty awesome. It started Memorial Day Weekend. We had planned to go camping but we pretty much got rained out and didn't get to go. It actually worked out for the best. Friday night we had a new guy from Sean work and his wife and kid over for dinner (The Wilsons) They are Mormon as well and thier son Conner is 10 days younger than David. They are quiet but fun.
Then on Saturday we found a sitter for David and the Wests found a sitter for their 2 kids and the 4 of us drove down to the temple in Billings. It is a 3-4 hour drive and then we spent 3-4 hours in the temple. It was amazing. Christina has done a lot of her family history and we were able to preform some ordinances for Andrews grandparents. It was was awesome. Just the spiritual boost that Sean and I needed. After the temple we went to eat at Del Taco which was awesome cause we don't have one and it was yummy.
Sunday was pretty normal day but after David went to bed Sean and I did an inventory on our relationship. As missionaries we did this with our companions and we are trying to do it as a married couple. It breaks down to letting the other person know what your goals are and how they can help you achieve them, bringing up and resolving any conflicts there are in the relationship, discussing areas that you might be weak in as a couple went it comes to being obedient to God as well as being united as a couple, and then making goals to accomplish as of the things you talk about, as well as telling the other person what their strengths are and then asking what your weakness are so that you can work on them. It was very wonderful for us to do together and has made such a big difference even though it has only been a week.
Monday night (Memorial Day) We got the opportunity to go to a lesson with the missionaries. They are teaching this awesome family, a young couple and their little girl who is almost 2. It was fun to get to be a missionary again. Plus this family is really cool . . . we are trying to make more friends and this was another opportunity for us to do that.
The rest of this week went as pretty much as normal except that Monday I got all of the housework and laundry done, which meant that I could do what I want/needed to do while David was asleep and got to play with him while he was awake. So that is my new schedule clean like crazy on Monday to I can play all I want the rest of the week. I just have to keep up on the dishes and cleaning up after my family everyday. Then today we had a heart to heart with another couple with whom things have been weird with lately. Hopefully today helped and we can all be friends again but time will tell.
Sorry for the long post with no pictures this week. Life is just really good for us right now and I wanted to share that with all of you. We love you all and think of you often!
