Cool VT Partner

How cool is my Visiting Teaching Partner? We're supposed to visit teach tonight--we have appointments with all the women we visit. And I have the flu. I called my partner today and left what I'm sure is probably a pathetic-sounding message (I'm all congested and hurt ALL over) apologizing and saying we can reschedule if she wants, etc. So what does she do? She comes by today with this:



I love Gerber Daisies! So colorful, bright, and cheery! And she's doing the visits anyway. She's awesome. What a kind, thoughtful thing to do--I'm very touched by it. We have a really great ward. And I have a pretty cool VT partner. :)

Yeah, I hear you on that. I love doing stuff so much more when I *want* to do it and not because of a duty/assignment. It feels more natural.

Though I can't deny that one of my closest friends in the ward started out as my VTer. Pros and cons.

But yeah, I hear you. I don't know what's cooler--the flowers or that she's VTing for us anyway. So cool.

Sorry you feel so crappy!

Also, funny enough, I have always loved 'gerber daisies' but I never knew the name of them--until now! Axel used to buy them for me in Croatia and therefore, they took on the name of 'The Croatian flowers I always loved'. Thanks again for enlightening me.

You're welcome! Now that you mention it, it occurs to me that I've erroneously said you guys lived in Bosnia in our Friend Spotlight post about you. Whoops! Bosnia and Croatia are at least neighbors, right? :P
