Hi everybody!!! How are you all
doing!! Sorry I couldn’t write last week we had only 4 hours on Tuesday to do
all the things that we normally do in Pday. But it was so nice to go to
the temple, I saw a few of my friends from the MTC, and just had an amazing
time. So yeah this week has been super awesome (mainly because you can't not
have an amazing week when you start it at the temple. I mean seriously!) But we
are teaching several families and we have a 9 year old girl getting baptized on
Saturday and her mom will be next Saturday! Also we had exchanges this week so
for 24 hours I had a different companion, it was interesting. I realized that I
do love sis Rose even if she is a little odd. I loved hearing all about all of
your conference highlights, and yeah I am famous now ;) Everyone has been
asking me lots of questions and so here are so answers. Yes I do have a car and
I am now the designated driver, and no I have not hit any one or anything, except
a curb or two. We get 1000 miles a month which sounds like a lot but it really
isn't. Mainly because we have to drive out to the middle of no where to get to
a small town called Chaparral. Now Chaparral is an interesting place, and in
the words of my District Leader "God took dust, trailers, tumble weed,
packs of small crazy dogs, put them in a yattze shaker and... Shacke Shacke
Shacke.... Wham Chaparral." Ha it a funny little town on the edge of New Mexico,
so I guess I am serving in NM after all.
Next my daily schedule is pretty much the same everyday. I get up at 6:20 ish (no really I do I am being completely serious!) we then exercise for 30 minutes, eat breakfast and get ready for the day. Then we study from 8-11; yes we have 3 hours of study time. Then we have lunch and go to appointments! At 5 we either go home for dinner or go to a members (this is what we do the most) and we have a spiritual thought and then leave. Last night we had diner with the strange family, yeah their name is really strange. And they really are a bit strange, there is really no way to describe them but that they are strange. But after dinner we go out and teach more then we get home at 9pm, then we plan till 9:30pm. After that its time to get ready for bed, I write in my journal (I have only missed one day since I left!), wash my face shower, and then go to bed. And do you know what I do the next day.... The exact same thing. Unless we have church, meetings, or P-day. But I am so excited to be here and help people come unto Christ. Last night we contacted a family who were on date to be baptized and then just dropped all contact with the elders. So we finally got a hold of them and again committed them to baptism and they are determined to follow through this time. I miss you all so much and love to get all your letters, please write soon and if you send videos to my email make sure they don’t take me to YouTube or I cant watch them. I love you all and will writ more next week!!
