What did and didn't happen.

Today I'm going to share with you a list of things that did happen since the last time I've posted and a list of things that didn't happen since then......

I DID get outside of Denver.  We went driving through the mountains and got out to explore a little bit too.  Yvonne said, "You just don't realize how much you need to get out of the city till you're out!"  To which I replied, "Well, sometimes you do..."
I DID leave a phone message for a woman in Spanish.  She didn't understand it, but she called back and I explained again, and this time she understood.  That's good enough for me. 
I DID go to another Rockies game- their last home game. 
I DID receive a million dollars in the mail.... unfortunately, all the bills said "fake" on the back.  Thanks, Joe.
I DID figure out how to register a team for a local basketball league.
I DID rejoice with a woman who attends our bible study at the Sam House, who told us she is going to become Catholic!
I DID play in the rain for half an hour during the only thunder storm that's happened since I've been here.
I DID skype with all of my roommates from last year. 
I DID get assigned as Master Chef for the upcoming week, and Bishop Conley is coming for breakfast this week.  Get ready for a taste of the Midwest, Bishop!
I DID hold a two-week old, four pound baby girl. 
I DID drop Bri's breakfast on the ground.  Then, in the process of making more eggs for her, I dropped and broke the plate too. 
I DID find what I believe to be the only hill within my current running radius.  I decided that I enjoy running on varied terrain more than I dislike running up hills. 
I DID wear my Nebraska hoodie, and was greeted by 3 different supporters.  The only negative comment I received was from a teammate whom I have yet to convert. :)
I DID listen to an awesome talk by Cardinal Arinze.  Here's a picture of him, Archbishop Aquila, and some of us missionaries.


I DIDN'T get completely rid of that hematoma that's been on my leg since sliding into 3rd base back in early May.... maybe in another month it will disappear. 
I DIDN'T go hungry.
I DIDN'T play cards.... lame.
I DIDN'T receive my new blood donor card in the mail yet.
I DIDN'T get tuberculosis.  Two TB tests have proved so. 
I DIDN'T clean my room. 
I DIDN'T remember the new Spanish word I learned this week: the word for a swing.  Spanishdict.com reminded me that it's un columpio
I DIDN'T stay in contact with as many people as I wanted to.
I DIDN'T learn to bilocate.
I DIDN'T write blogs for the Mullen Home like I was supposed to.  Guess I've been failing at a lot of blogs lately.
I DIDN'T get bitten by a bug, cause they don't exist in Colorado. 
I DIDN'T get a back massage.
I DIDN'T get mistaken for a homeless person, as a few of my teammates have had happen to them. 
I DIDN'T have anyone come visit me... I'm still waiting....
I DIDN'T figure out my way around Denver yet.  Seriously, I know I'm bad at directions, but who builds a city like this??

  1. This was kind of comical and just made my day. Sounds like you're having a pretty busy time out there too!
