Hello everyone!
Another great week here in Highlands Ranch, Colorado!!
We went on exchanges again this week and this time Sister Russell came here to the Saddle Ranch area with me. We had lots of fun and it went so quick! It was super fun to do language study with her because she speaks Spanish! So we just talked in Spanish for an hour and it was so fun :)
We also had some great lessons this week! Jake told us he wants to be baptized in February so we are super excited!! Angie and Audrey said they are coming to church in person next week which is huge for them!
We also had zone conference this week which is always the best! They are getting more stressful for me though because now, not only do I do the musical number, but I also have to do a training for the zone. I always love hearing from President and Sister Rees and seeing all the missionaries in person!
So in case you didn't already know, everyone in this area is super rich and they all have huge houses (we are in the richest area of the mission). They are all like so generous though so we love it. This week a youth gave us some mask mist that you spray on your mask before you put it on and it smells really good. He made it and he like has his own business and sells them but he gave it to us for free. Also, another member casually owns Costa Vida so he gave us free Costa Vida for dinner one night and drove up in his huge Costa Vida van. And another member just randomly gave us a box of Crumbl cookies. We always have a lot of extra money on our missionary cards since people give us so much food so we decided to go to Trader Joe's today. We are definitely living a nice life here haha.
Now for a random story... we went on a walk around the apartment complex and this old lady yelled to us to come over and gave us a bunch of old pillows and rugs that she didn't want anymore. She didn't have a mask on and we didn't have ours with us since we usually don't see anyone so we couldn't really talk to her so it was just really weird. We ended up throwing the stuff away though because it smelled like old lady and we didn't want it.
This past week on January 28th marked one year since I opened my mission call! I can't believe the time has gone by so quick! My mission has been COMPLETELY different than what I expected when I read my letter but I have loved it! I have learned a lot and have met so many amazing people!
Love, Sister Megan Young
