Hello family! I am emailing a day late because Sister Tipton and I had work to do yesterday on our normal p-day. But we have some time today to tell you about the week!
We had dinner at the Campbells house this week, which is always fun. Sister Campbell is the primary president in Fayette Ward and we are really close with them. Sister Tipton plays piano for the primary and so we get to go there instead of relief society. We love being in primary sharing and singing time each week. Sister Tipton plays and I am always the one they demonstrate with (i.e. extreme head shoulders knees and toes, what monkeys act like, do as I’m doing follow, follow me, and all of that good stuff). We have A LOT of fun. Sister Campbell’s youngest son, Joseph, is two years old and she says he has a crush on me. At the dinner table he insisted on sitting next to me and hugging me between bites of soup and salad. Is it possible for a two year old to have a crush?
We’ve been working on cast training all week, driving to Palmyra every day. One day we got to the Poulson’s house and they weren’t there yet for our meeting. So Sister Tipton went into their guest bedroom and pretended to be asleep and when they got home Sister Poulson asked where we were, looked in the room, ran in at full speed, and jumped on top of the bed between us and was shaking us. Haha I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. We have gotten pretty close from working so much together with her and Elder Poulson. I call her “Matriarch”. She loves it.
We did service for a potential investigator, Jenifer, this week. She broke her back in a car accident so we went and cleaned her house. We invited her to come to the Hill Cumorah Pageant and her son has never been and asked what it was. She responded, “It is a carnival for the Lord.” Sister Tipton and I really had to hold back from laughing out loud. So that is our new joke: We are going to work at the carnival for the Lord!
I got my hair cut! Thank goodness… it was almost to my waist and it was getting HOT. I feel like my hair has gotten a lot thicker here in NY. Maybe it’s the humidity? When the gal got done cutting it I asked her if it looked like there was a small dog on the floor and she said, “Nope… two!” Haha I told her to blame it on my mom- she’s the one I got it from.
Fourth of July was great. We worked at the Hill Cumorah VC and then we went down to the girls’ camp to watch fireworks with the Albany Stake young woman. It was so beautiful to watch the fireworks and the reflection off of Seneca Lake. It was good to be with the Breinholts too. We don’t see them very much because we are on in the busy season right now.
We have officially moved to Palmyra and will be living here for 3 weeks while the cast rehearses and performs. It feels weird to be so far away from our proselyting area in Seneca Falls but we have another area to take care of for now and that is the nearly 800 members of the cast. They arrived just yesterday and we got to meet them at dinner and be in their devotional and watch them be cast into their roles. It was so fun! We had a good time going around and talking with everyone. So many of them told us they are pumped to do missionary work each night before and after they perform! WOO! It’s game time! And we are leaving it all on the floor.
I love you all! If you don’t hear from me in the next few weeks don’t worry, I’m just busy with the Pageant. I got your pageant package and letters in the mail! Thank you so much! I have without a doubt the coolest, best family EVERRRRRR.
Love, Sister Adams!
Fireworks at Seneca Lake. The girls had slow stick necklaces on their heads.
Cast Trainers watching the casting process. Sister Poulson creeping on us from behind! Haha
My companion and I so excited that Pageant is here!
Sister Hawkes and I.
Elder and Sister Poulson. I LOVE them.
Casting! They don't know their role until they get here and the directors have a look at them.
