Dear Mom and Dad,
Which of the girls from the ward are in Cheer? Holly, and Anna I assume, but who else?
This week was good. There were three main events from this week.
1) Zone Conference! It was really weird to have my last zone conference with Presidente Detlefsen and the Hermana, but to the surprise of all that I know, I did not cry my eyes out the whole time. It was a great conference, and Presidente and Hna said goodbye to us all, which was very depressing. But, as always, Presidente knew just what to say to help me get myself back on course!
I also got to see Hna McWhorter at the conference! It was great! I was so excited! We talked every spare second we had, and I am very happy to report that she is doing great! She is working in an area called Pigue, and it is a hard area, but she is doing so great! I just love her, and I was so excited to be able to see her again before I go home!!! We had 9 Hermanas at the conference, and it has been more than 6 months since I have been with that large a gathering of Hermanas, it was great! Although, I realized how old in the mission I am! Super weird!
2) Ezequiel got baptized! It was so great! We had a really good program. Since he is a YSA, we had the program completely full of YSA. It was really great, some of the YSA from the Stake ended up coming since they knew him. We were a little worried at first since he had had some mildly negative experiences with some of the YSA before, but everything turned out just great! He even enjoyed himself.
It has taken him a while to get comfortable with us, but we learned on Friday (the day of his interview) that he is indeed comfortable with us. This is how we learned, when he came out of his interview (at the church), he sat down on a bench, and put his head in his hands, and Elder Howard came in, and looked a little distressed. After a minute, Elder Howard told us that they had put a new date for the next week for another interview. I thought I was going to die. I tried super hard to be supportive, and to say okay, that’s fine, what do we need to do? When Ezequiel looked up, at Elder Howard, and Elder Howard told us that it was a joke, and that Ezequiel passed the interview. I wanted to hit the both! And turns out it was Ezequiel´s idea!
So he got baptized! And it was great! And yesterday, he came to church in a dress shirt and tie to get confirmed! It was so great! He looked so good, and like a professional member of the church! I was so happy!
3) I got sick. Don’t worry! I am already doing better, but Friday night, I started to not feel so great. It was very unpleasant. So I went to bed early, and when I woke up on Saturday, I felt a little bit like I had strep throat. But I focused on baptism things instead of sick feelings. And I was fine. But then at the end, when we were getting ready to leave, like 5 members told me I should sleep since I look really sick. How flattering. So I went to bed early on Saturday and I got up a little late on Sunday, but not so late that we were late for church. At church about half the members there told me that I was looking a little dead, (and yes, more than one person used that description, again, how flattering), and so after eating lunch (with Gaby and his family Yay!), we went home and I slept more. I feel much better today, and the strep feeling, which faded yesterday is completely gone today. Yay! So don’t worry, its just a cold.
oh there is a 4) I got a haircut today! It doesn’t look much different as you will see in the pictures, but I am very very happy!
Funny story with bishop. Okay, it won’t be as good since I am out of time, but I will do my best.
Last Sunday, as we were arriving at the church, we saw bishop get in his car, and start to back up a little bit. So me, being the bright thing that I am decided to run behind it, since he had already seen us, and stand behind it like I do with Dad. Originally, not such a bad idea, as I have done this hundreds of times before. Except, then it turned into a really dumb idea, when Bishop didn’t see me, and accidentally ran into me. Not too hard, I didn’t even get a cool bruise out of it, but Bishop fully hit me with his car. I don’t think I have ever seen him so concerned. He wasn’t going so fast that it was that big of a deal, but it just goes to show that your parents are always right. When they tell you not to run behind cars that are backing up and might not see you, they have a point. Potentially even a good one. But now I can say I got hit by a car in Argentina. One more thing I can check off the list.
