hey everyone!! sounds like everyone is settling down in their new surroundings :) crazy how life changes huh? mission time is really crazy...at the same time, i feel like i JUST got here, and then i also feel like i never lived before haha. i'm sure once i get home, it will all seem like a dream. but i'm trying to drink in every minute!! it's been a little rough this week because i've been SO congested. i can't decide if it's a cold or allergies...because it's been like 2 weeks...which makes it appear like allergies...but sis larkin checked the pollen counts and they're not high...and my allergies have been minimal my whole mission so you wouldn't think they'd act up unless the pollen counts were high! anyway...so that was a little frustrating. so hopefully that goes away soon. but it's just been an amazing week! C is doing so great! we made her a quit smoking gift bag with pics of Christ (we got to go to Desert Book when we went to the temple on Tuesday), scriptures to hang up in her room and car, gum, jolly ranchers to suck on, and my ipod to borrow so she can listen to inspirational music in the car (she usually only smoked in the car when she's driving around for work. so yeah, she LOVED it and she's doing great! her kids are doing great too and would love to be baptized, but their dad is not in favor yet. we're praying for that. if i hadn't decided to stay another transfer, i'd miss her baptism! so i am so grateful. i know it was the right thing.
we just found out that elder kikuchi is going to speak to our mission on monday morning, so that'll be awesome! (speaking of...next week is transfers so p-day is tuesday...just a heads up) i have no idea what president will do at transfers. i doubt he would move me for my last transfer, but i'm not sure if sister M will stay. we'll have to see!
well i feel REALLY lame, but honestly i can't think of anything else to tell you! sad huh?? SO much happened it seems but sister M can't think of anything to say either haha. lots of crazy tracting experiences. last night this guy went ON and ON about how God is just energy and when I pray I'm not actually talking to him. I made sure he knew that we really DO talk directly to God when we pray. there are some crazy ideas out there. I'm so grateful for how simple the gospel is. even children can understand. yet there is SO much to learn. whatever level we're at, we can learn more.
well maybe i'll think of something in the next few minutes. sorry i feel like my letters are more and more lame haha. LOVE YOU ALL!
