Date Description: This was such a relaxed, fun date! Betty had offered a service for a service auction in our ward. Her service is priceless: Teaching how to make her famous oreo cookies together! I couldn't pass that up, so I purchased her service (the money went to a sub 4 santa charity activity that our ward did). So we decided to make it a date! All I have to say about the cookies is that they are divine, and the recipe to make them is so complex, you'll never get it right unless you are lucky enough to get it from Betty herself. (Her last name could be Crocker, that's how good she is.) While we made the cookies, and for a good couple of hours afterward, Betty and I had very nice, long conversations about all sorts of stuff! From Christmas stories, to talking about clothes racks being pulled down in department stores, fingers being almost cut off, relationships, and modesty. It was really enjoyable to just be able to talk with her, and not worry about what topics to bring up. The conversations just flowed from one topic to the next, and we shared a lot of common views on those topics. Betty's a pretty amazing girl.
Best Quality: I've always been so impressed with Betty's genuine generosity. I think if any person sat down and looked at all of the amazing gifts that Betty is willing to give, without reserve or hesitation, they would be as astonished and amazed as me.
Highlight of Date: There probably wasn't just one moment that stood out to me on this date, but overall being able to talk so freely with Betty was so valuable for me. I treasure the conversations that I am able to have with people like her.
What I Admired: Along with her generosity, Betty is always very hospitable, caring for other people, and has her head on straight about life's issues, especially as a single. She cares for people deeply, and is always willing to be a friend to those around her. She has the heart of a princess, and lives to make others' lives (and her own) as happy as possible.
How do you know the person you're on a date with? She's in my ward!
Describe the date in one word? Uplifting
What is her favorite type of music? Oldies, and music that is similar (pure - like Betty herself).
