You should know that as I write
this email, I am feeling very conflicted emotions. I don´t know whether
to think that it is amusing or tragic that Dash died and no one told me!
How long ago did this happen?! And why did no one tell me? I mean, I
know I don´t have the worlds strongest connection with Ace and Dash, but
still! Just because I am on the other side of the world doesn´t mean
that I shouldn´t get really important information like that!!!
Okay, a couple of minutes have passed, and so has
the indignation. I do have a request. Will someone send me a picture of
Zac and his puffy face? Please please pretty please!!!
This week was bastante weird. ( Like super super weird). It started out
pretty normal. On Tuesday we had district meeting, and it went fine.
Nothing super thrilling happened. Unfortunately right now, there is an
Elder in our district who just wants to make every district meeting as
painful as possible for the rest of the world. And he usually succeeds.
However, lunch on Tuesday was pretty great. We went with the Hnas from
White to lunch with Romina and Fernando, and they surprised us with
asado, and the fact that we were going over to another members house to
eat. So we had a pretty big party for lunch it was great. We also had
our ward correlation meeting with our ward mission leader. Things in
that area are getting a little bit better. Every week, he is just a
little bit more excited about the things that we are doing, and has more
drive to help us out. We also had a surprise on Tuesday night. We got
a call from one of the Elders in the office saying that Hna Vaughan
would be staying with us for a couple of days, we had no idea why.
But Hna Vaughan showed up, and can I tell you, I
love that girl. Her companion had to go home early (health stuff), and
Hna Vaughan is having quite a bit of problems with her foot, so she is
waiting to go to the doctor. She is currently unable to work, so she is
spending her days in the office.
Wednesday morning, the assistants came to pick up
Hna Vaughan, and Hna Carson and I finished up our studies. At the end of
the studies, Hna Carson said that she wanted to call the Hna Parreño to
talk to her about her foot, because it still wasn´t feeling any better.
Hna Parreño sent us to a doctor that afternoon. The doctor said that it
isnt´ yet, but easily could turn into tendonitis (Sp?). And that she
needed to have a couple of days of complete rest.
This meant that on Thursday and Friday, Hna Carson
went to the office with Hna Vaughan, and I went to White with the Hnas
there. It was a very complicated situation. There were lots of taxis,
and lots of buses. But it was really fun. I also had to spend a couple
of hours in the office because the White Hnas were at a different
doctor, and I got to help with some stuff there. It made me secretly
jealous of the office elders, I forgot how much I enjoy office work. But
at the same time, I think it would kill me on the mission to be
confined to an office all the time. I am really grateful for those
elders though, they put up with a lot of stuff so that the rest of us
can be completely committed to the work that we are doing.
On Saturday, Hna Carson and I were able to work a
normal day. That was very nice.Even though we didn´t have much success, I
was just happy to be working again, in my area, with my comanion. There
is a very nice feeling about that.
Sunday was good, but complicated. Romina picked us
up for church, since Hna Vaughan really can´t walk more than a couple of
feet with out having a very serious amount of pain. Church was good.
Ezequiel blessed the Sacrament. I love it when he does that. It makes me
so happy inside. We ate lunch with Gaby and his family. And when I
shared the scripture, I just lost it. I really really started to cry. It
has been a while since I hae lost so much control. It just kills me
because Gaby is menos activo again. He knows everything that it is that
he needs to know, he just isnt´doing it. And it breaks my heart. It is
like watching one of my best friends destroy thier life and know exactly
what it is that they are doing. Please pray for Gaby Garay. I don´t
know what it is that he needs, but please pray for him.
So after embarrassingly losing myself during the
scipture, we headed home. We were home for a couple of mintues, before
we had to head to White for a baptism. It was great! There is always a
bit of drama in White, like there is in any small town, but overall,
things went great. Then we headed back home, and Hna Carson and I
finshed weekly planning, and Hna Vaughan read her Book of Mormon.
It has been a really big blessing in disguise to
have Hna Vaughan here. Hna Carson and I aren´t struggling by any means,
but we certainly have our tense moments, and Hna Vuaghan has really
helped us both. I love love love her. And I really hope that she gets to
go see the doctor this week, so she can figure out what it is she needs
to do to fix her foot. I really don´t want her to have to go home, but I
am afraid that that is going to happen.
Okay, some ideas for the package.
Garments
*tops (cotton square necks) 24 long
*bottoms (cotton) 30
(will
you get four pairs, and then only send two. My garments are super sad,
and I am going to retire a couple of them before I get home, and then I
can come home to nice garments.)
Deodorant
Face Lotion
foundation )powder and liquid
mascara
and my contacts please!
I think that that should be everything! Sorry I am so high maintenance.
Pictures
Hna Vaughan and I
Hna Baker and I, while I was in White this week (it was really really cold)
Sorry, there aren´t that many pictures this week. My bad.
Also, transfers are this week, so next week I will
let you know where I am going to be spending my last transfer! AHHHHHH.
The fact that I start my next transfer next week, may or may not be
giving me a heart attack. It will be a miracle if I make it to the end
of my mission alive. Haha. But seriously.
Okay, well, on that cheerful note (I hope you know I really am okay.), I gotta go. Its time to work!
I love you!!!!
