Adventures from Sunday

Well I wanted to post this on Sunday while everything was fresh in my mind... but clearly that didn't happen.

We had pathfinders on Sabbath and i taught the First Aid honor. The kids didn't seem interested but I don't really blame them. That's not their most interesting honor.

Sunday, I slept in. I think the longest I have slept in since I have been here.

All in all it was good though, went to work then came home and made myself some Mexican food, which was pretty good. Last week on Wednesday morning I woke up long enough to see my power go out. This worried me because last time my power was out it took them  two weeks  to turn i
