First of all HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM
AND DAD!!! 26 years....that's a long time. And onto eternity we go right? Also,
something to add to my packing list: Not Cetaphil....I want Noxema because my
face is always a little burned. And can I have some Skittles? Anyways, that
story about Kennedy with the cops is super funny! I remember my first time I
got in trouble at the park, I thought you guys were going to kill me too.
Ha-ha, good thing we have good parents!! And Kennedy, it probably won't be the
last time something like that happens to you. Don't sweat it. :) I was
wondering if I could get family conversion stories with names and dates. I want
to share those with people and the only one I know is Robert Allen's. I did go
buy new shoes, I think they were around $70...I hope that was okay. I wanted a
good pair. They are working well and I switch them off with my others so my
blisters aren't as bad.
This week was CRAZY!! I mean it...we
had what I call "The Saturday of Psychos." We were literally running
away from crazy drunk men at 2 in the afternoon. We were waiting for the other
Hermanas to go to lunch with a member and we were waiting on the corner of a
convenience store when it all started. We literally were running around the
block to avoid all these weird guys who wanted to talk to the American
missionaries. We were laughing pretty hard by the end because it felt like we
couldn't escape them! They were everywhere. Oye, only in Juarez. But it's all
good, don't sweat it too much! I don't feel unsafe here because we follow the
Spirit and are cautious. I'm not worried at all about it! I met one
of the Mitton's cousins here! His name is Elder Robbins, small world! Carlos
was baptized on Saturday, he was the other Hermanas investigator,
but it was still good! There is a lady here in my Ward who is just like Mrs.
McDowell! She even looks like her! We went to visit her house and she was crazy
funny and just did the most random things! I sat there most of the time trying
to decide who she reminded me of, and then it clicked. I get a kick out of her.
We moved into our new house!! Oh it's so cute! It's the perfect missionary
house. I don't have the address, next week...I promise!!! When we were moving
in, it was 8:30 at night and dark...and then the lights weren't working because
the lady who owns the house didn't pay the bill!!! So, we got candles and just
unpacked the stuff we needed for the night. The things you experience on the
mission....speaking of fun things; the buses here are INSANE! I don't like it
when I have to stand up on them because I really struggle to keep my footing.
We go on them every once in a while to meetings, but every time is an
adventure! I love my companion so much! She is so awesome and we have so much
in common! But, we also have differences to keep life interesting. She is very
patient with me and has been so helpful with everything. I am so lucky to have
had her as a companion! We have found a few good investigators now, so I think
we are getting into the mode of things! I'm controlling the weather down here
with my prayers, so the days may start off pretty hot but then a storm or
clouds roll in about 3 or 4pm ha-ha.
Well, last night I was thinking
about how much I needed to tell you something, and now I'm at a loss...so I
guess that's it. We have so much to be thankful for! I have definitely learned
how blessed I am! Enjoy the little things in life like hot showers people! Oh,
ps...Do you think I look like Lana del Rey?? I've been told that now multiple
times but I don't see it!!!! Anyways...I love you all so much and look forward
to your emails every week! I have the best family in the entire world!!! I
am doing fine so don't worry about this person here! I pray for you guys all
the time and hope all continues to be well at home! I was really super sad
to hear about John, I will continue to keep him and the family in my prayers.
:'(
Love you all and have a great week!!
