Mission Memories -- Seminole -- Sister Collett: Part Four

I don't know why Sister Collet  and I were hanging out at the park with our district leader and his companion.  We are all in our whites, so I doubt that it was p- day. I vaguely remember this day.

I think we might have had a baptismal interview that day and maybe that's why we met with the Elders.

or maybe we were just being disobedient :-( because that definitely was against mission rules to lollygag at a park with the Elders.

Sister Collett and me in a tube on the playground at the park.  I don't know why we thought this was cool.

I guess it's kind of a cute picture :-)

Elder Young on the left, and Elder Giles on the right.  Elder Giles was our district leader.

I'm actually surprised that I remember these Elder's names.

slightly different photo than the first one.

great photography skills, Elders.

Sister Collett and me , climbing out of the playground tube.

a lovely photograph of Sister Collett and myself :-)

More crazy conversation bubbles.

Elder Giles and Elder Young, goofing off, making faces.

I don't know why Elder Giles is making that face.  Or why I wrote that phrase on the conversation bubble.  But I'm going to tell you a story that might explain it.

The only thing I remember about Elder Giles and this day is I remember standing in the parking lot at the apartment complex -- maybe it was when we traded them our car for their bikes one day.

Anyway, Elder Giles asked me if I had any good-looking sisters back home that he could write to.  I informed him that yes indeed, I did have two gorgeous sisters at home.  But that one of them was getting ready to go on a mission herself so, I told him to write to my youngest sister, Juliet. 

So, maybe, that picture was for you, Juliet. I don't know it sounds like a good explanation to me :-)

as Collin Raye would say, "that's my story and I'm sticking to it."

Juliet -- do you remember ever getting letters from Elder Giles?  I'm pretty sure I gave him your address.

it looks like Elder Young is taking a picture of me taking a picture of them -- Sister Wilson style :-)

I think Sister Collet must have taken these pictures while I was driving.

I'm not sure if that is Elder Young or Giles.

hey Elders,where are your helmets?

The bike flags make a nice touch :-) yes they were a mission rule.

nice pose, Elders.

this picture makes me laugh.  The Elders think they are cool.  :-)

I'm not sure if this is the same picture as before, but we look cute?  :-)

I have no idea what this is.

I think one of the Elders had a flat tire.  I'm pretty sure this was a baptismal interview.  And I think it was for the couple that we taught that I told you about in a previous post.  With the little boy that gave us the plant.

That's pretty much the only time we ever saw or talked to our district leaders -- when they had to do a baptismal interview for our investigators.

I don't know what Elder Young is doing in this picture.

why am I not looking at the camera?  There must have been so many paparazzi that I didn't know which camera to look at :-)

Sister Collett pulling Sister Wilson's antics -- taking a picture of me taking a picture of her.

I don't know why we thought that was so cool.

Elder Giles hugging a tree.

He must think he's in the Pacific Northwest :-)

I'm not sure what Elder Giles is doing with that shower curtain.

I don't know why I have that picture because we should not have been in their apartment.

Maybe this picture was taken from the doorway, standing outside.

I don't remember if we actually went inside their apartment or not, but I don't imagine that is something that I would have done.

Borrowing the Elders' bikes to go to Madeira Beach. while they borrowed our car for the day.

If memory serves me correctly, our p-day was Tuesday.  And the Elders had p-day on Wednesdays.

looks like fun!
