Hey!
That's a crazy story about Brennleigh and Aria Flying all over the
place! That sounds extremely frustrating! I know I would be frustrated
after all of that. Jeanne Suarez told me she messaged you. Haha, she
is pretty awesome. She is one of the less actives we are working with.
She is less active because of health problems, but she knows the
gospel pretty well. But she always provides for the missionaries.
Every time we go over, she just HAS to give us something. Food,
beverage, etc. It's funny. We ate dinner at the Merricks on Monday.
They are an older couple. Man they're so cool! Sister Merrick always
has a goodie bag for us. She gave us some healthy snacks and a few
weeks ago they went to Hawaii and she brought us back some snacks from
Hawaii. Brother Merrick plays the Bagpipes. He is one of those guys
who plays in parades and stuff. He has like 3 kilts! Haha. He also
played us some songs on the bagpipes! I took some videos that I'll
send you.
We have about 4 potential investigators and we have been working with
a few less actives. The hard part about it all, is all of our
potential investigators are supy busy ALL the time! We haven't gotten
a chance to meet with any...yet. There is this 16 year old boy named
John. He is from Jamaica. He came to church last week because he has a
friend who is a member in Connecticut. But John lives in our area, so
we will be teaching him. He wants to come to conference with us this
weekend too. Man, am I excited! We have been talking about conference
for a while! We call it the missionary Super Bowl, haha. I have never
been so excited for general conference before!! Love it! I'm glad you
liked the women's meeting! We invited a few of our sisters who are
less actives to go to that. I heard a lot of good things about it.
So, Facebook is coming along. I am still cleaning up my
Facebook...gah. It's filled with years and years of just random junk.
I wish I could just make a new one! But I can't. I'm almost done, I
just had to delete or hide some photos, delete some posts, and unlike
tons of things. But I was able to find Robert on Facebook. He has
iPads and Facebook like me! So that's cool.
I went to the post office and gave them that tracking number. All they
told me was that it was delivered on Thursday. So, if it has
insurance, USE IT! That's sooo not fair that it's just gone! That
makes me really really upset. Especially since there was money
involved! Please tell me that it wasn't a whole lot :( I hope you can
get money back or something. So, from now on. Send me packages to the
mission office or Brother Smiths house. (We call him Ray). Then when I
get transferred, only send them to the mission office. I don't want
things to get stolen. That's so upsetting. But! I got the fedex
package you sent me! Mom, you're a beast. Thank you so much!! And for
the flyer too! Haha. Thanks mom. I love you! I'm also sorry that you
lost your backpack! That thing is your life! Man...I hate losing
things!!!!!!
Things have been going okay here. More and more I feel like Cloward
annoys me with the littlest things...but I'm dealing with it. We have
been working out at the gym a lot lately. I love it. We get up at 5:45
every morning (which is surprisingly easy) and we work out for an
hour. I've ran a mile every day! I'm so proud of myself! It's awesome.
I really need to lose weight :( It's sad of how big I am now. I was
175 all through high school and now I'm like stuck at 230. It's
ridiculous! Haha.
Thanks for all of the support! I love you guys!! I hope you find your
backpack mom. You're gonna be so bored without your laptop! Haha.
Love y'all!!
