Hello!!
I got your package with all the fun (zucchini bread) and not so fun (the
dead bug) surprises!! It was a great way to start off the week! I also just
looked through the enormous amount of photo's you sent.
We had a very great week with lots of great stuff accomplished- which is
amazing because Thursday night I felt so sick we had to come in early and then I
went to be around 10 and didn't wake up until 3:00 in the afternoon!! My body
had said I'm done, that's it! And I had an upset stomach all day that day
too, but by Sunday I was feeling much better! Knowing that the clock is ticking
with my time left as a missionary I am pushing full steam ahead every day, and I
think getting sick is God's way of telling me to slow down. And I think my
companions like the break too. But after just one day of being sick- I am
completely tired of it! It is no fun to be sick- but it is especially no fun to
be sick as a missionary. I called Sister Augustin when I was felling really bad
and said, "I just wish I could call my mom, but I can't so I'm calling you."
When I told her how I had slept for like a half day she told me she was proud of
me because she knows I am not the type to just do that. There is not a lot you
can really do around the apartment when you are sick so I was so glad when I was
feeling better so we could get back out there.
Before I was sick we had the Sisters from Midland come. Sister Tu from
Elk Ridge (I believe) is our Sister trainer leader, and she brought her two
companions who she is training. Sister B from Hooper, UT, and Sister
To from like Sandy. Sister Tu has been out now about a year and has been
a trainer the WHOLE TIME! I told her I feel so bad for her, but she says she
doesn't know anything different, so this is just life. She is awesome and it was
nice to be able to work with them, and learn with them and encourage and support
them too.
We have an exciting day today: we are going SKIRT SHOPPING! There is this
amazing woman in our ward, Sister Z: her daughter is in the Twin Falls
mission right now. But she has been working with like 5 of her friends and we
have a lesson in her home at least once a week, so we have gotten to know her
really well. Anyhow- we were asking her where her daughter got skirts for her
mission because last week we went to the mall, but had zero luck. Nothing is
mission appropriate. Or if it is it is really pricey. So she said today she
would take us to some secondhand stores and show us around the shopping in town!
I have been dying for something new to wear so I am so very excited!!
Oh another quick update! President had a conf call this past week and next
Tuesday, because we have all being working so hard, we are having a fun day! A
day full of outside activities to relax a bit and fellowship one another! We are
playing baseball up in Abilene with the missionaries in that zone. Each zone has
a different day of the week (since our mission is too huge). But we are all very
excited and this is unheard of! yay yay!!
I love you all!!
we had zone training and the sisters from brownwood came out! :)
This is R, we were teaching her but she was moving so she
wanted to give us a gift! It is a solar system spray painting! Who knew- it's
just like the big city life! haha so talented so cool!
