Dear Mom and Dad,
My email worked!!! Just keep hoping that it
will work next week. I am a little nervous. But mostly nervous because I
only have to be nervous about one more week! I know, I make myself
nervous about silly things, but with everything that a mission does to
change a person, isn´t it nice to know that I am still myself? Haha.
I also thought of something interesting, and I forgot to tell Kami
this, but yesterday she turned in her papers. Which is super cool. And
she turned them in on the same day that I officially completed my 18
missionary months. Kinda cool isn´t it? She´s geting ready to start her
service, and I am getting ready to wind my official service down.
This week was really good. It really did just fly by. There was some
really sad news however. Miriam didn´t get baptized. It makes me really
sad, breaks my heart really. But there is a silver lining to the sad
cloud. She still wants to learn, and she came to church yesterday. She
is just going through so much with her health. She has just found out
that her cancer has returned, and a couple of other things. So she is
wanting to wait a little bit of time. We are hoping to help her see that
baptism really is going to be the best thing for her, and it will bring
her the blessings she so desperatly needs. Please keep her in your
prayers.
Hna Baker, unfortunately, also isn´t doing well. The poor girl just
isn´t getting much better. Okay, that is a lie. She is getting better,
it is just at a pretty slow rate, so she feels like she isnt´getting
better, but she is. I am happy to report, that overall, things are much
better. She is better with her animo, and she is happier overall. We
have a really good companionship. Apart from being friends, which is
fantastic, we work really well together. Even though we spend a decent
amount of time at home, we are helping each other get a lot of things
done. We have done a lot of organizational projects, and things at the
house are getting much better. We do get out for a little bit every day,
and I am really glad about that. It helps her see that she can still do
things. And that she does a lot of them really really well.
It is an interesting rhythm in the house. We are just four people
very different. Things have been a little tense. But I am trying to help
everyone calm down and realize that nothing that is goin on is the end
of the world. The good news is that making jokes about the fact that I
go home soon seems to calm all three of them down, so that has been
happening a lot lately. They don´t know that those sort of jokes give me
a heart attack, and I don´t plan on telling them. Those poor girls need
whatever release they can get.
This week should be good. We are going to do divisions on Wednesday,
which will be fun. And on Friday we are going to have the cultural
activity because on Sunday we are going to have the temple dedication! I
am so excited. I have been waiting my whole mission for the dedication,
and for a year now they have been so close to finishing! You can really
tell that the members are excited and ready to have a temple up and
functioning in their country again.
I am super excited that Holly is going to Homecoming. That will be a
fun first weekend home. Does she know what she is going to wear? Is Zac
going to go? Speaking of Zac what happened with Les Mis? I am so
curious, and midly bummed that I have to wait a whole other week! I am
very happy that I am going to get home in time for football season.
(That was embarrassing. I almost wrote futbol. Oh Spanish. How you mess
with my mind. I hope you are all ready for that. I no longer speak one
language at a time. Spanish and English come out together.) Also, super
excited for Jayden and Shelley. Will you tell them congrats for me?
Well...I think that is it. I hope that you have a great and safe week! I love love love you!!!
