Weekend Fun!

This last weekend the "Techs" finally got a little bit of time off and got to all go out to dinner together. It's been a while since we've all gone to dinner being that one tech usually stays behind to take jobs for our ONE salesman that insists on working late. He's an over achiever. The techs are given $10 dinner bonuses from the company each week but since we hadn't gone in a while our bonuses added up. Each Tech (and their wife) had $40 to blow... each! Oh you better believe we went all out! We all went out to The Cheesecake Factory. Yummmm!! I started out with a peach smoothie and then got the most delicious lettuce wraps! Wow they were all sorts of tasty! Peter got Hibachi Steak and garlic mashed potatoes. Oh my mouth just waters thinking about it! We ended off the night with Dutch Carmel Apple Streusel Cheesecake. It was all SO delectable!

On Sunday after church we all went to Independence to the Church visitors center. It was such a neat and spiritual experience. We were also able to bring one of our non-member friends, Jory Lara-Sullivan. We all had a great time and learned alot about the saints and their struggles. We also went through a presentation that was all about families and the plan of salvation. We have really enjoyed being out here where there is so much history. Jory got a Book of Mormon and told us that he would read and pray about the chapter that we assigned him. We've been praying for the Lords help in opening his mind and heart to the spirit. He came to Peter today with many questions about it so we're very excited about the teaching opportunity ahead of us.


It has been such a blessing for us to be out here and learn so much about our own church that we didn't know before. We have learned so much together and felt our Heavenly Fathers love for us very strongly. We have grown closer together as a couple and are grateful for blessings that we receive as we follow the promptings of the spirit. It is amazing what the Lord makes clear to you when you are listening to the still small voice.
