June 6, 2017 goodbye Faribault, hello Rochester!

¡Hola mi familia y mis amigos!

LOTS OF FLOWERS!!!

       This has been a really great week to be a missionary. I really do love being a missionary it's the best. So we got news about transfers today and I am going to be serving in Rochester as an STL! I am so excited because this is where my Grandma Duvall was born and where my Grandpa Duvall was serving when he met my grandma!! Hermana Hughes is going to be my new companion and I am so excited to get to serve with her. I served around her in St. Paul a couple transfers ago, so it'll be a sweet reunion.  Another crazy thing that is happening with transfers is that Hermana Davis is also leaving Faribault, and our area is going to be whitewashed by two different Hermanas.  I am so grateful for the last 4 1/2 months that I've been able to serve in the Faribault ward.
   

 Donnahue's greenhouse and lots of pretty flowers. 

  We had some amazing lessons this week and we were able to work a lot more with the members in our ward!! One amazing miracle that happened was that our investigator Major Bell finally made it to church!!! He has been super sick for the last month or so. We had a lesson with him this last week and brother Taylor came with us. It was perfect that Bro. Taylor came, because he was able to help Major with some of his questions. Major promised us that day that he would come to church! He kept his promise, woooo! So, he said that he really wants to continue to learn and eventually be baptized! We also had an amazing lesson with a lady named Liz! Sister Reher came with us and it was also super perfect. She was able to address very specific concerns that Liz has had for a while. Liz told us that we were the very first missionaries that she has ever let in. She said she didn't know what had changed, just that she wanted to listen to us. So, she is now excited to continue taking the missionary discussions. Another person that we have been teaching is

Hermana Davis casually flipping her hair like such a model

Candelario. It's still the same with him. He wants to be baptized, but wants to make sure that he learns everything he needs to before. We have been teaching SO many amazing people who are so prepared to listen and receive the gospel into their lives!!! I am excited for the other Hermanas to continue to teach them, and hopefully I will be able to travel up for some possible future baptisms.
 
 

THE KOTAS FAMILY
 + all of the missionaries who have been on this journey with them!
 Brother Kotas was baptized a year ago,
and this last weekend him, his wife nikki,
and their 4 kids were able to be sealed!!!!

   Some exciting news: The Kotas Family got sealed in the temple this week! Hermana Davis and I changed our Pday so that we would be able to go. It was seriously such an amazing day! We were able to attend an endowment session beforehand, so that was special. But the sealing was so incredible. When they brought their four little kids into the Sealing Room all dressed in white, it was so precious. All of the kids were so quiet and reverent throughout the whole thing (which is not super common for those crazy energetic kids haha). The spirit was SO strong and I am so grateful that I was able to attend my first sealing :) Being there confirmed to me how special a temple marriage is and how important it is! It was awesome, because so many other missionaries were able to attend the Kotas's sealing as well. It was cool to see the impact and wonderful change that the gospel can do for so many lives.
         Something that I have been thinking about a lot recently, is the purpose of life. Our purpose is have joy and to learn, grow, become worthy to enter into the presence of God on day. Sometimes it gets really hard to live in this world of so many distractions and disillusions, where so many people serve for personal gain rather than to simply help each other. There's a scripture in Luke 6:23 that says, "Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven." Heaven is the ultimate goal. I know that having a more eternal perspective has helped me a lot in my life. As long as I am glorifying my Father in Heaven and following Jesus Christ, I know my life will be filled with happiness and I will always be able to leap for joy. I know that through Jesus Christ we WILL be able to return to live with our Heavenly Father again with our own families FOREVER. How joyous that will be!!
         I hope you all have a wonderful week! I love you all! But more importantly, Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, love you all SO MUCH MORE!!

con amor,
Hermana Duvall

This is Bethwell (or Karosi)!
We met him as we were walking around an apartment complex.
He is from Kenya and was SO excited to hear about the Book of Mormon.



 I LOVE HERMANA DAVIS SO MUCH.
She has become one of my "closest" friends :)



Sister Walkner!!!
We took some time to plant her flowers for her last week.
I enjoy gardening, but it was SO hot and humid!



We went on a run the other day to this tin man.
 We have been wanting to take a picture by it for a while now,
so we thought we mind as well workout on the way there?

Lakeville missionaries reunite! 


HERMANO SALDANA!!
He is a member from my first area in the Lakeville Spanish Branch.
Ran into him at the temple because he was picking some elders up!
It was so fun to catch up with him.


Julian was sleeping,so we gathered around him
 and took a nice family picture.
 I am going to miss the Kotas's so much. LOVE THEM






      Pie in the face videos!

June 5, 2017 B.A.T.= Begin Again Today

¡Hola mi Familia y mis amigos!
      Ojalá que hayan tenido una buena semana :) this was a really great week for me. I still love being a missionary! I cannot believe that I hit my year mark last week. Time really has just flown by, it's crazy.
   

Sister Benson, Sister Miller, me, Hermana Davis.

  This week we "blitzed" our area with our STLs. This means that instead of doing an exchange where a person in each companionship switches places with another and goes to another area, they both came here and stayed in our area! It was really awesome and filled with little miracles. I was with Sister Benson and we went up to Lonsdale for the day. It was cool, because a while back Sister Benson met a lady in a gas station in Lonsdale who gave us her her number but not address, saying that she would love to have missionaries stop by. We said a prayer that we would be able to find this lady, and after knocking only two doors we found her house!! Miracle. Prayers are answered.
      Candelario!! I cannot remember if I have written about him before. We are teaching so many people right now, but Candelario is one of our most progressing investors. A couple of weeks ago, we were knocking an apartment building. Candelario walked passed us up the stairs. We stopped him and asked him a simple question: Do you know what happens after this life? And he replied: no, who knows? WE DOO!! So ended up setting an appointment for another day and then  we taught him about the Plan of Salvation. He looooved it so much. It was funny because we asked him to say the closing prayer to the lesson and to ask if the Plan was God's plan. However, he decided to just say the prayer in his head. Once Hermana Davis and I realized what he was doing, we did the same until we could tell that he was done praying haha. Yesterday, we taught him about the Restoration and he LOVES Joesph Smith's First Vision and completely believes that it happened. He loved how Joseph Smith said that he saw a light brigher than the sun. Candelario has had some experiences that he could relate to that of Joseph Smith. He expressed to us that he knows it wasn't a coincidence that we stopped and talked to him a couple of weeks ago. He wants to be baptized eventually, but wants to make sure he is ready. Which is exactly what we will help him to do!
   

Chalking at the Baseball park!
An investigator took the picture of us. 

Now that the weather is starting to be a little more consistently nice, we have been chalking some more!! We decided to go chalking at a Baseball park where there were various baseball games going on. During the hour and a half that we were there, we ended up seeing two of our investigators that we hadn't seen in a while!! Both of them told us that it wasn't a coincidence that they ran into us there. I love when we know that we really are in the right place at the right time.
 

 It spells out LOVE. 

     We also had Stake Conference this weekend and it was so good! It was so much fun being in the Lakeville Chapel, because I got to see a lot of the members that are in the Spanish Branch I served in my first area of my mission. I had the wonderfully, super stressful opportunity to translate two talks. I forgot how hard it was until I started speaking haha. I also ran into someone from Temecula! My sister Emily's friend, McKenna! It's always a special treat when you see someone from home :) Due to the fact that we got to the Saturday Adult meeting of stake conference a little early, we went and did some work with the Lakeville Hermanas. that was fun too.
   
  There were so many great talks given at Stake conference. Elder David C. Scott of the 70 came, and I especially loved what he spoke about.  He talked about how we need to develop unshakable faith. Life is obviously hard, we are meant to be tried and tested. But as we are constantly strengthening our faith in the Savior, life will be more joyful and a little easier. He also used a little saying "B.A.T" which stands for "Begin Again Today". If you feel like you're faltering in your faith and trust in God, you don't have to procrastinate the day that you can feel happiness. Through our Savior Jesus Christ you can feel that happiness TODAY! I love Jesus Christ. I know he is the Savior of the World. I know that He is the reason why I can find happiness and still have hope, even in the darkest of times.
      I hope you all have a wonderfull week; love you all! More importantly, Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, love you all SO MUCH MORE!!
con amor,
Hermana Duvall

I (Momma Duvall) received this picture and message on Sunday morning.  it made my day!!!
"Hey Emily & Sharon! This is McKenna (Lawler) Guess who I just ran into at Stake Conference!!!"
"McKenna, Ohhhhhhhh!!!!!!!😘❤!😁This just made my day! Thank you! Give her a big giant hug from her momma if you are still near her!!!🙏😇"McKenna: "Isn't that crazy?? I walked into the chapel and as soon as I saw her I said, that's Jenny!! I couldn't believe it! I absolutely will give her a big hug from you both and tell her you love her. She has such a light and confidence about her, only talking with her for a few minutes I can tell she's an amazing missionary who loves the work- truly. Minnesota is so lucky to have her!"



 excuse all of the ugliness in this picture but I just love it haha. 

Just another picture with some of our
favorite people! I love La Familia Espinal.
I am so grateful for them. Especially crazy little Abiu. 



all of us missionaries with the Brother and Sister Kasper. 



Hermana Davis made me breakfast to celebrate 1 year
on my mission. So sweet! I am a creature of habit
and I literally eat the same thing
for breakfast every morning. 

shout out to my girl, Cals.


Lakeville Hermanas, Dean and Bryson.
We have way too much fun together.

May 29, 2017 ONE YEAR!

¡Hola mi familia y mis amigos!

 

Just one of the thousand lakes in Minnesota..
oh yeah, and Hermana Davis :)


  First off, happy Memorial Day! I am grateful for all of the men and women who have sacrificed their time and lives to serve our country. This has been a great week for me in the world of missionary work. There was so many little miracles and amazing things that happened this week, and I wish I could share all of them with you. I don't have that time to do that though; but just know that I am writing in my journal every night!

    I was set apart as a full-time missionary exactly one year ago today and then I left my home and flew to Mexico on May 31st. It's crazy that I have been on my mission for a year already. Time has just flown by so quickly. I feel like I am going to be a missionary forever and I still love it!

     So to start off the girl Aleah who we found about 2 weeks ago came to young women's last week and she LOVED it. Her mom is totally fine with her coming, which is great. We love Aleah and her enthusiasm about God, and we are excited to teach her some more.

     We were finally able to teach Valencia this past week! She was a referral from a member and has come to church one time in the past. The lesson was perfect because she had so many questions about the church. We were able to give her a little church tour because we met there for the lesson. She has a desire to find the truth all in one place and is excited to pray to know if what we shared with her is true. She is pregnant and is due soon (or maybe she already had her baby, we don't know haha), so it is going to be a little more difficult meeting with her soon. She said she would eventually be baptized if she learned it was true.

    We also met with a guy named Steve this week! We knocked on his door a couple of weeks ago.  He had several questions about what happens after this life, so we gave him a couple of chapters in the Book of Mormon to read. He said that he had met with Elders before  and they gave him a copy of the Book of Mormon. He called us last week saying he actually didn't have a copy and wanted us to come give him one. So we did that and he ended up having so many questions about the word of wisdom, law of chastity, the difference between his church and our church, and the nature of the god head. It was just a solid lesson and he is going to read and pray about this church! He also said he would be baptized if he learned it was true!

 

¡Grande eres Tú! (How Great Thou Art!)
We finished our language study
in the park and sang some hymns.I love music so much nd the spirit that it brings!

  Okay, so last story. Last week, Hna Davis and I were doing language study. All of the sudden Hermana Davis come up to me saying: "We need to go the the Faribault Mill Park...right now." She said she got an impression to go and so we did! It was a cool experience because we ended up being able to teach two lessons. One of them was just a couple sitting in their car eating lunch. The second one was a brother of one of the members in our ward. He recognized us from pictures, knew we were missionaries, and saw us as he was driving past the park. So he stopped to talk with us! It was just a cool experience because we went to this park, and people were just brought to us for us to teach.

    I feel like I learned a lot this week, especially the importance of following the spirit. Sometimes I don't understand why exactly I would be prompted to go something or to say something, but I do know that when it is good it is of God. In Doctrine and Covenants 6:33-36 it says,

 "Fear not to do good, my sons [or daughters], for whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap; therefore, if ye sow good ye shall also reap good for your reward.

Therefore, fear not, little flock; do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail.

Behold, I do not condemn you; go your ways and sin no more; perform with soberness the work which I have commanded you.

Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not."

I know that as we look unto god in every thought, we will be doing what we are supposed to. God is all-loving and all-knowing, and he will never lead us astray. This has brought me a lot of comfort this past week. I love that God loves me. I love that He has provided me with this love, by sending His son Jesus Christ to show us the perfect way to live. I know that as we strive to do what's good, we are bringing glory to our Father and Mother in Heaven.

  I love you all! But more importantly, Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ love you all SO much more!


con amor,

Hermana Duvall
The Nielsen Family!
Their little girl, Kelsey, really wants to be a missionary
when she's old enough. We love spending time with them. :)

May 22, 2017 President Nelson and shaking his hand!!!!

¡Hola mi Familia y mis amigos!
      I hope you all had a great week. I think the Minnesotan curse of always being able to have a conversation about the weather is rubbing off on me, because I want to share what the weather was like this week haha. This past week, it has basically rained every single day all day. The beginning of the week was hot, humid rain and then it got colder on the weekend. I survived and now everything is more green outside so that's cool.
     

Aleah!! We took this after we met he very first time. 
She is so awesome and I am excited to continue teaching her. 

This week was such an amazing week with meeting so many great people, including this girl named Aleah! Hermana Davis and I decided that we were going to go do some tracting on a street that had a fun name. Outside this one house, there was a super cute dog. For those of you who ever meet Hermana Davis she absolutely LOVES dogs (and fun fact: she can even bark like a dog to). So we went and pet this dog, and the dog "told" us to go knock on the door haha. So we did and we found Aleah! She's the cutest girl ever and loves god so much already. She is excited about the Wednesday night youth activities and she was able to make it to church yesterday and she loved it! She wants us to come teach and meet her family too. We are super excited about her.
      We also had a really fun surprise yesterday at church as well!! After the sacrament was passed and the doors to the foyers opened we saw another investigator named Patrick walking in!! We met Patrick over a month ago! We have been trying to meet with him and teach him, but he has been pretty busy. He always promised us that he would come to church one day and he finally did!! He is planning on coming to church next week as well! We are going to try to teach him this week if his schedule allows it.
 

Ray Chavie (member) and Sue Lukes (investigator). 
They enjoyed the spaghetti dinner and getting
some good deserts from the auction. 

   There are honestly so many great things about this past week, it's hard to pin point the best part. We had a really awesome ward activity on Saturday evening, and one of our investigators came!! It was a Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser for the Scout's. They also did a cake auction at the end, and you would be amazed the amount of money people were willing to bet on some of those cakes. We have been finding a lot of great, amazing people who are prepared to listen to the gospel. I know that it's all in the Lord's hand and that as we follow the Spirit we are doing what we are supposed to be doing!
 

Minneapolis Minnesota Mission Conference with President Russell M. Nelson

I think that one of the best things that happened this week was being able to meet President Russell M. Nelson and shake his hand!! We had a Mission Wide Conference where all of the missionaries were able to come hear President Russell M. Nelson speak and Elders Christensen and Stacy. It was a day that I don't think I will ever forget! Most of the Spanish speaking missionaries, including me, had to opportunity to sing "Come thou fount of Every Blessing" in Spansih/English, and that was a special experience. I learned so many great and valuable things during this Conference. I wish I could share it all with you. One of my favorite things, however, was when President Russell M. Nelson talked about repentance. He went through the different greek roots of the word Repentance and defined it. Essentially, repentance is changing your mind, knowledge, spirit, and even the way you breath to be closer to the Savior, Jesus Christ. I love the very last part, that as we sincerely repent even the way we breath will change. I think it's because every fiber in our being, all of our desires and our wants, will act more in accordance with God's will. None of us are perfect, and we all have that "natural man" within all of us. But, we do have a Savior who IS perfect and CAN and WILL help us if we just turn to Him. I know that Christ will always be there to help us if we just turn to Him. I know that God loves all of us very much, and that He wants to bless us for our efforts!!  I know Russell M. Nelson is an apostle of God. When I shook his hand I had a very profound peace and love testify to me that he is a disciple of Jesus Christ. I am amazed with his example. Even though he is already so close to being like the Savior, he was still listening intently to those who spoke and reading all of the scriptures throughout the meeting. He said one thing that I loved: "Those who love the Savior, will want to know more about Jesus Christ. They will want to study, ponder, and apply all of those teachings of Him." I love my Savior so very much, and I know it's a live long process of trying to become more like Him. However, we have the best help there is out there: Christ!
   
      I hope you all have a wonderful week, and try to recognize all of the many blessings God pours out upon your life! I love you all, but more importantly Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, love you much!!
con amor,
Hermanita Duvall

Last Pday, we were able to all meet up together and spend a fun day
in downtown Northfield! Some person gave us all some free shakes
so that was awesome. Sister Benson, Sister Miller,
Hermana Davis, Me, Hermana Dean, Hermana Bryson!


selfie time



Just a picture of the beautiful clouds after it stormed all day.

May 15, 2017 Feliz dia de las Madres


¡Hola mi familia y mis amigos!
 
   First off, Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful, amazing momma. I love you so very much. I am so grateful for your wonderful example and for everything you have taught me. Also, Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful women out there who have helped me tremendously in my life. I am appreciative of you all. I know I have been blessed with some amazing women as examples in my life, and I am so grateful for that!

       
Yesterday was probably one of the best days ever because I got to talk to my family!! I love my family so much. I am grateful to be a missionary alongside with my twin brother, Jeremy. He's a great example to me. I'm glad that we were all able to say a family prayer together, even though we are all in different parts of the states.
   

The one and only SISTER CURRY. I love her tons!
She told us to tell our parents that they did a good job raising us :)
Thanks mom and dad! 

 One person who we are really excited about is Major Bell. We knocked on his door a couple of weeks ago and we met his wife, Grace. Then, when we came back the next week we were able to teach Major as well. We have been meeting with him frequently, and he is so solid! He has a lot of questions, but you can just tell that he is searching for the truth. This last week, we were able to go over to his house with some priesthood holders and give him a priesthood blessing. He has been having very bad health issues recently, and hasn't been able to make it to church due to them. He was practically begging for a blessing of health and was happy that we came by. He casually said to us that he wouldn't mind being baptized! We are going to continue to work with him, and hopefully his health will improve soon! He is just so prepared and ready to learn more every time we visit him!
        Other than Major, we have been able to teach and find a lot of new investigators. I love being able to teach people about the Plan that God has for us and also about the Book of Mormon. Hermana Davis and I have been trying to walk around holding copies of the Book of Mormon in our hands, and we have seen a lot of little miracles because of it!
   I am so grateful for my wonderful family, and for my parents who have always set such a great example of faithful followers of Jesus Christ. This marking the day that my Papa Smith passed away 17 years ago, I am also very grateful for my humble, faithful grandparents who raised such amazing parents on great values. I was reading in "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" this morning and I found something that I really loved in it and reminded me of my parents. It says,
"Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities"
I know that as we live the principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and incorporate them into our daily lives, that we will all be so much happier. It sometimes feels like it takes a lot of work to do all of these things, but it is SO WORTH IT! If only we could always recognize the happiness that we feel as we are simply doing what's right, even when it's hard. I know that we are blessed for our efforts. I also know that we don't have to go at it alone, because we have the Savior to help us every step of the way!

We substituted a primary class yesterday with 
no guidance as to what to teach. 
Luckily, we had the spirit with us and it turned out great. 
I love this group of crazy kids


Andy! She just had to take a selfie in my iPad haha 



    I hope you all have a wonderful week, love you!! But, more importantly, Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, love you all so much more!

con amor,
Hermana Duvall
Last Pday we decided to have lunch on the Taylor's
back porch, because they have this cute little pond.
We had fun as we tried to feed a duck goldfish, it just ran away from us. 




This was during a thunderstorm last week
and the sun was just setting.  It looked a lot
cooler in person








We were going to dinner at members house,
and the daughter Hannah brought us a frog to hold!
It was really fun!





Here  are some more pictures from our Mother's Day Skype call...Gotta love technology!!!

May 8, 2017 Be Believing and Be Happy!

 ¡Hola mi familia y mis amigos! 
   

You know you're missionaries when you use a
Book of Mormon to prop up your ipad to take a picture

 This was another great week for me, and I hope you all had a wonderful week too! It was so weird not actually going up to transfers because that was the first time I haven't really participated in a transfer. It was quite nice actually :) Hermana Davis and I are happy to still be able to work together and we are hoping for many more miracles this transfer! 

   

The plan of salvation that
Hermana Davis and I chalked at a park 

 We had the opportunity to go chalking this week! "chalking" means that we go somewhere like a park or sidewalk and you chalk out the Plan of Salvation or some cool, inspirational quotes. So, Hermana Davis and I found a park to chalk the Plan of Salvation! We ended up being about to teach a girl named Emily about the Plan of Salvation. It was a really cool experience to talk about God's plan with her, because she hadn't really thought about God as a our loving Heavenly Father. I love teaching people about the Plan of Salvation. We also had a cool experience as we were visiting a couple of less-active members! Their friend, Gale walked in the room as we were visiting them, and he asked right away what we believe what happens after this life. He listened intently as we explained the Spirit world all the way to the three kingdoms of glory, and he just soaked it all it. He said, "well, that makes more sense then just laying in dirt." Yes, yes it does haha. But, we are hopefully going to be meeting with him this week to teach him more!! 


Holly Phillips! I forgot to mention her in my letter.
As we were knocking on some doors,
we noticed holly walking around.
So we decided to go talk to her.
She right away asked us, "are you missionaries?"
And when then explained that she's LDS too!
She doesn't live in our area but works there during the week.
We are happy because we found someone
who wants to go out teaching with us :) 

We've been having a lot of cool lessons and finding a lot of new investigators, which is something that was a struggle in this area for a while. We have been trying to find more opportunities to serve people everywhere we go. Although some people may think it's weird that two girls in dresses are offering to help them with yard work or cleaning, it has opened a lot of doors to sharing a message of the gospel. 

This is Walt! He was in the Korean War
and has a lot of faith in prayer and God.
It was fun getting to know him and all his stories.

We met a guy named Walt this week through offering help, and he was so nice! We had a wonderful discussion with him about following Christ's gospel and how that helps us in our lives. He shared a lot of his experiences that he had while he was in the Korean War. I know God helps us through all the hard times and the good times as well. I love being able to try to walk in the path of Jesus Christ every day. Although, we are rejected sometimes, that's still what Christ went through too! 
   
  This week, one thing that I noticed is just how happy I was in all things. I noticed as I was pulling weeds out of a less active member's yard (and I was wearing a dress) that I did it with a smile on my face. Everyday, I feel like I was just so much happier and I've realized how much I love smiling. I found myself repeating a quote that President Gordon B. Hinckley used to say: "Be believing. Be happy. Don't get discouraged. Things will work out!" I know that as we have faith, trust in God, and follow what He has asked us to, that we are simply so much happier. I was reading in the Gordon B. Hinckley's Book and there's a quote that I just love. He says, 
"Never forget who you are. … You are in very deed a child of God. … He is your Eternal Father. He loves you. … He wants His sons and daughters to be happy. Sin never was happiness. Transgression never was happiness. Disobedience never was happiness. The way of happiness is found in the plan of our Father in Heaven and in obedience to the commandments of His Beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ."

Trying to take cute pictures with the
cute spring blossoms!
The spring is soooo pretty here! 

As we look forward with steadfastness, knowing that we are all sons and daughters of God, things are just so much easier and happier. This life, we are meant to have REAL joy not worldly, temporary joy. I know that through following Jesus Christ's example and relying on Him in all times, we can find that real joy everyday of our lives!! I am so grateful to be a missionary and to be able to help others discover this joy in their lives!
I hope you all have a wonderful week, love you all! But, don't forget that Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, love you all so much more!!
con amor,
Hermana Duvall

Last Preparation day we decided to drive out to Mankato
 to hang out with other missionaries!
We went out to Buffalo Wild Wings


Last P-day we went out to Buffalo Wild Wings
and then we went back to a member's home to
play board games and card games.
