Fireworks?…. Fireworks!!😅

Hi everyone!
Sorry I couldn’t write last night, I was still in dressed in black and shut up in the house mourning LA’s loss….
Jkjk but on the real Kobe’s death hit the press sunday morning-right smack in the middle of our sweet stake presidents talk- and on behalf of everyone there I can tell you that hearts were moved but not because of the message he gave lol. On the bright side, a lot more people here are interested in the plan of salvation 🙂

This week we’ve been hearing lots of fireworks going off ha! Well to be honest I’m not even sure the were fireworks or not hahaha! it’s super funny because no matter who we visit if theres a few loud pops we all just look at each other and everyone says “fireworks?…yeah fireworks!!” Haha …. yikes love it!
Anyway the other Friday night we traded our bikes for the elders car for a bit, so of course when we switched back that night something was broked Haha. So ya know theres this clamp that is tightened with a screw to connects the handle bars to the frame, but when we got them back that screw in my bike had become very loose Haha so much so that the handle bars were completely uncontrollable Haha they would flip in circles and wobble the whole bike but because we still had one more lesson I decided I’d try out my circus skills and do my best riding it. Well I made it to the apt with no major difficulties but on the way back theres this one part where the sidewalk gets a but narrower because this giant shrub is sticking out. Well as we were heading home we went past that part and all the sudden my handle bars started wobbling super bad and then one caught in the shrub and over the handle bars I went hahahaha I didnt hurt anything so we’re good! Tbh idk how I didnt but yeah it was pretty funny 😂this bike is gonna kill me!
As for a thought, this week has definitely been super cool because I feel like I have really seen my testimony grow when it comes to change! I hated change for so long but now I cant help but love it! I love the Prophet and I love being obedient to all the changes; and as I do so, seeing the blessings! I have definitely learned that life is SO SO SO much easier when we are humble and also faithful enough to listen to others. I love the prophet. I LOVE MY MISSION. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE JESUS. I cant describe like some missionaries can, just dont have the words I guess ha, but in my heart there is a big glow that comes from knowing what I have come to know. It’s the best:)
Hope you call can find that too❤
Love Ryenne

Small town girl. Lover of stories. Believer in God, family, America, and in finding beauty in both the past and the here and now. I grew up alongside my five siblings as our parents dreamed and worked and picked themselves up time and again while creating their small business . Interestingly, I married my high school sweetheart, who now co-owns his own small family business with his brother- the same business that he grew up in, working alongside his dad. We have five kids of our own (who are pretty cool, if I must say so myself), and both understand the grit and determination it takes to build our own dreams. I feel honored to share our story here and join my parents and brothers in their desire to create a welcoming, positive spot – where we can share stories and resources for those wanting to make memories with the people they love the most.
