Enrichment

So I have only been to one enrichment night since I have been in this ward. Mostly because I have Zoee and they usually don't provide a nursery and since Nate works at night I would have to find someone to watch her and that is hard so I don't go. Well, I got a card in the mail today from my visiting teacher inviting me to go with her. It was really sweet and thoughtful of her. (it's a good thing Nate checked the mail before he left for work or I wouldn't have gotten it in time.) I totally debated on whether or not I should go. I finally decided to go since it would be one of the few times that I would be able to go without Zoee. I am really glad that I went. It was a really great night. We had some food to eat and then we got in groups and we moved around to different mini classes. They were on communication, being healthy, and helping your spirital self by journal writing and things like that. They were all really great classes and had great ideas. Plus, I met some really nice girls from the ward. I am glad that she sent the card and I went. It also motivated me to call my visiting teaching companion and set up a time to go meet our girls. It was good for me.

I left the night feeling pretty good but also feeling a little down. It was a great night and the girls were all really nice but it made me really miss home and miss my old ward and miss my old friends. I guess it is just the feeling of being new and trying to make conversation and get to know people. I felt a little out of place at times. I know that it takes time to get to know people and to feel comfortable in a new ward and it is getting better, it just made me miss my home.

Oh well, overall the night was really great minus the fact that when I bit into my lemon bar I had this shocking pain in my tooth. It was awful. I opened my mouth only to find a peice of tin foil stuck in my tooth touching a feeling. OUCH!! I guess it was stuck in the lemon bar. Didn't feel so good. I wonder why that happens?
