The Vacation

So I went on vacation which meant I couldn't post but here is the report of what I did.

8. October

I bought my friend some sheet music and took it to her. The music wasn't available to her where she lives (Toronto). This means that her ward choir will have some really nice music to sing... instead of homemade arrangements of the hymns.

9. October

I helped my traveling buddy stroll her luggage. She wasn't an invalid or anything - I was just being nice.

10. October

I let my friend sit in the front seat. This may not seem like a big deal but it is, because I'm usually subtly bossy and get my way. I also took photos for some fellow tourists so both could be in the photo.

11. October

I did the dishes for my host. I also got to chat with the local sister missionaries. I talked about my mission and how it wasn't super statistically significant. I think that made the one sister feel good. She said, "And you worked really hard right? That makes me not feel so bad."

12. October

I took my hostess out to "tea."

13. October

I offered to help a woman with a disability. She denied my offer, but I would have done it just the same. I also previously gave my friend a pass-along card which she passed-along today.

14. October

(I have returned home by this point but not blogged.) Today I talked to a really nervous mom. Now, I'm not sure work-related items really count, but I feel that today I went a little above and beyond and really tried to make this mom feel comfortable. I also made my friends dinner.

15. October

I've been grumpy tonight but I still took the time to write to a few friends, just to catch up and to let them know that I'm thinking about them. I want to be a good friend.
