Happy 16 months to me!!!
I hope you all had a fantastic week, because I just want to
reemphasize that TIME IS JUST A CONCEPT!! I only have 5 weeks left and I am
starting to freak out! I wish that I could be a missionary for a while longer,
but I am also so excited to come home and see you all!
This week was pretty long, but that's okay because that just
means that it felt like longer until the Schumers leave. But sadly today is
their last day.😠I never knew that saying goodbye to
someone could be so hard. But on the bright side, I get to see them in 5
weeks!!!
On Monday night after pday we all decided to hang out in
Sister Brown and Sister Donakey's room and write in our journals. Well, when we
are together not much writing gets done. For some reason I had the weird
impulse to draw on Sister Brown's face. So I decided to be a nice human being
and I politely asked her if I could do so. She gave me permission to draw on
her face, except with all this humidity it made her skin a little
oily..... So these markers weren't working the best until Sister Donakey
handed me a permanent marker. Long story short, I made a masterpiece on her
face and then when she tried washing it off she didn't have much luck. But
don't worry because she doesn't have her mustache or sick tattoos
anymore.
Wednesday was Sister Schumers birthday so we celebrated with
some really good cheesecake that Sister Dowling made. Well, the seniors had the
bright idea of giving us those party blower things. Well, Sister Brown and I
had a lot of fun with those. I will attach a picture so you can see what I
mean.
OH MY GOSH!!!!! On Friday Sister Gold and I placed a Book of
Mormon! It was Sister Gold's first and my first in about 4 1/2 months. All of
us site missionaries decided to go get some ice cream for a last hurrah with
the Schumers. It was pouring rain and all of the Sisters decided to dance in
the rain besides me and Sister Gold. We weren't about to get sick and wet and ruin
the seniors car haha. Well thank goodness we didn't because just as we were
about to leave a super cute couple were eating some ice cream on one of the
benches. As we were about to get in the car Sister Dowling asked if we wanted
to give them a Book of Mormon, so being good missionaries we went over and gave
it to them! They were the sweetest people ever!
Friday was Emma Hale Smith's birthday and so all of us
Sisters sang the song Emma by the Nashville Tribute Band. If you haven't heard
it go look it up right now. But I want all of you to realize how important Emma
was and is in the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints. Emma was a BEAST!!! She endured what no other woman had to endure and
she stayed faithful to the end. If you don't know much about Emma, go do some
research because she is the best person ever!
Stay sober, and stay chaste!!!
