Hope things are going great at home! :) I love life here. Summer is great--everything is hot and busy and glorious. Plus, being a missionary couldn't be better.
Ahh! So last Monday, right after I emailed you, we went to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Concert. Oh my goodness. I knew it would be good, but it was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! They are so talented, the orchestra was phenomenal, the music selection perfect, and. . . ALEX BOYE was there! He did some incredible solos! It was all amazing. We had good company, too. Last second, a bunch of missionaries got tickets to go, so they were all bringing less-actives and investigators. There were even missionaries from the New Hampshire Mission! Crazy!
That was a fun day. :) And for this whole last week, we worked on a project. Remember the Primary PVC I've been working on? The big, interlocking foam map we projected and drew a map of the world on? Well this week, we painted it. Neat, right??? We had to do it piece by piece, starting with primer, then two layers of the color! On that huge map. . . man. It took hours and hours. Most of the week, frankly. The moving Elders and Spanish Waltham Elders helped out a lot, though. I'll send pictures! Let me tell you, oil-based paint doesn't come off very easily...
One night we had a solid correlation with President Miller about the PVC, and then on Saturday, we went on splits to cover events! Sister Cruz and Sister Asay went to Marlborough for a big Brazilian party. Apparently it was super solid!!! 20 non-members, and Sister Cruz got to see her people!
Sister Thompson and I went to Providence for a pizza-making girls' camp fundraiser! Haha, Sister Thompson is a 4'11" riot! :D We had so much fun. We set up a display outside, where the pizzas were cooking. It's in a foot-traffic area, so random people came and bought pizzas and watched the videos. That pizza is to die for. One of the members is famous for it. :) The Elders were having fun tossing the dough, everyone was contacting, and Sister Thompson and I folded pizza boxes and stacked them as tall as her. Haha!
Yesterday we attended a baptism in Brockton. Those are great. It was half Portuguese, half English. I love going to baptisms! Sister Miller surprised us and showed up with Bella, which was awesome, because she got to see a display for the first time and loved it!
So life is good. :) :) Keep in touch! I love you all so much.
Love,
Sister Merkley
MBM PVC Missionary
