Dearest Family,
This week has been a busy one. We have done lots and lots of service. Oh. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! Our ward is making us fat. We have so many treats, and candy that is in our apartment. It is crazy. We enjoy it though :) Not to much to complain about. It will only be a little weight gain... I hope only a little...
Anyways. This week has been good. I have pulled weeds, and anything green in a garden. I have helped someone move. We took down some extensive Halloween decorations, and we also served food for 7 hours at a Redlands fair. I now have a very funky tan line. Oh well. It was a lot of fun. We got to see Sister Straatman again, which was very nice :)
We have taught some lessons this week. The total lessons we taught was 20. Our goal was 20. it is really exciting :) The Lord is defiantly providing miracles in our area :)
My favorite part about this week... hmm... I think it would have to be all the service we have done. A lot of it was with other missionaries, so we got to know them a lot. :) It was a lot of fun :)
Funny Story: We were helping serve lunch and dinner at this fair thing, and all the missionaries were serving people. I ended up standing next to one of our AP's and I was giving out the rolls. I kept telling people, "if you wanna open your buns, it will make a great sandwich". After the crowd died down a little, the elder was like, "its a little awkward for me when you talk about buns like that. I am sure people don't want their bus to be opened and made into a sandwich." I had NO idea that it would have seemed like that. So, when someone else came I said "if you want to open your roll, it will make a great sandwich." The elder just grinned. it was really funny. I guess you had to be there... idk... not much else has been funny. I just keep saying things and my dry humor comes out, and others laugh. idk.
We are still teaching Robin, but not as much as we used to. We aren't sure what it is that we are supposed to do anymore. She isn't really progressing. All well. It will all work out.
We are still teaching Linda as well. She has a baptismal date for November 16th, but she is going to be moving soon. We are trying to decide whether or not we should baptize her now. She wants to be baptized before she moves, but we aren't very sure how we fell about it. I guess it will take lots of fasting and prayer.
We did get a new investigator this week. Her name is Sharon. She lives in the apartment right behind us. She is an older single lady, and very sweet. She has had a rough life, but knows that god is there for her. :) She is cute :)
The new missionary in out apartment is Sister Anderson. She is amazing!! I love her!! It will be lots of fun :) She is from Utah, and is so sweet. She loves theater, and has been through some hard trials. She said that from the first moment she saw me, she felt more of a connection then she did with Sister Mucke. It was neat to hear. She is 19, and just so cute :) I love her so much!
It is kinda nice to not be a newbie. The bad part, is that I am still kinda treated like one. It has a lot to do with the fact that I am not training. It is weird how much that has to do with the way that the other missionaries look at you. Our of the district that came out with me, one elder has gone home, and everyone is training except for me and another elder. It is really hard. I know that it shouldn't affect me, but it kinda does. I don't like being treated inferior. I will live though. The Lord has placed me here, and kept me with Sister Young for a reason. She is great, and I love her so much! I have come to think that I am not supposed to train. I have a feeling that the Lord is going to keep me in apartments where there are two companion ships, and I am supposed to help the ones that aren't my companions. It feels right to say that. I may never train, but I can know that the Lord will always have a purpose for me.
I love this work!! The Lord has blessed my life so much. I know that this ward cares for me, and that I am supposed to be here. We are seeing those miracles that have been promised to us. It is a wonderful work.
Thank you so much for all that you sacrifice for me. Without the support of those that love me, I know that this work would be much harder. I am truly blesses. Thank you for your prayers.
Know that I am praying for you, and that I love you all so much!!
Have a great week :)
