Hello family!!! Yes I am emailing on a Tuesday again because no where was open yesterday. Why do we have Columbus day? I mean really you don't get out of school, most people don't get work off, and in reality he thought that he discovered India!! I think that it is a silly holiday, manly because we couldn't email yesterday.... But still its just silly. Any way I will stop ranting about Columbus and tell y'all about how I am doing, or better yet all y'all can tell my how y'all are doing? How is the weather? Do any of you have snow yet? I miss snow :( It wont snow much here so I am pretty bummed about that. So that means that I need snow man and snow angels made my all my favorite kiddo's, sisters, brother-in-laws, parents, and friends!! I would ask coco to make one but I am pretty sure that she wont do it. So how is getting ready for Halloween? What are all y'all dressing up as? I better get loads of pictures because I really want them!! I cant wait to see y'all dressed up and cute/ scary for Halloween!! But any way how is life? Have y'all done any thing fun lately? Have y'all seen any nargles? Be careful they like to steal things and they bit really hard. So I hope that all is well and now we will continue to The Stories of the Week!!
Story 1 The Tale of the Battle of La Cucaracha
First off let me just say this one thing....I HATE BUGS!!!! and I especially hate when they crawl around the place where I eat!!! So on Wednesday night we had just come home from a very long day of proselyting and teaching. Sister Brown goes to put her cup in the sink, but instead she screams, jumps about 3 feet in the air, and runs from the kitchen still screaming. I ask her what is wrong and all she can do is just stand there laughing and pointing to the sink. I then proceed to investigate the matter a bit further and stop dead in my tracks. Because in the sink, on the counter, and on the walls are....COCROTCHES!!!! Big ones, little ones, and some that were medium sized!!! Oh it was the most revolting thing that I have every seen in my life!!! And thus the rest of the night was spent killing the nasty devils, and cleaning out the cupboards. Where to our dismay we found several dead ones, and a few live big ones!! Oh it was...Just.. Yuck I cant even begin to describe how terrible this battle was!! But in the end after lots of bleach, a good vacuum, and lots of courage. We won the battle of la cucaracha!!! But sadly the war still continues and we fear that this is a war that will never end...
Story 2 The tale of Los Globos!!
One morning as sister brown and I were on our way to fix our car. We looked up in the sky and we saw hundreds of Globoses!!! That means Balloon in Spanish ;) This past week has been the Balloon Fiesta here in Albuquerque, and it has been pretty neat. When we wake up in the morning we can see lots of tiny dots off in the distance. And when we get to run errands that take us closer we can see hundreds of Balloons!!! They are all so amazing and beautiful, all the different colors and shapes. I saw an Elvis Presley one, a Pig one, a Angry Birds one, and lots of colorful ones!! I have pictures!!!....But I left my camera on my desk so I will but them in drop box next week. But I have some really neat ones so y'all should be very excited to see them ;)
Story 3 The tale of Me Dying
Ok no I am not really dying, but I have had a cold for the last week. So that has not been to fun, and I also had to go to the doctors to get my Thyroid checked out. Because I randomly just have no energy and I am always tired. So on Friday I went and got blood taken for a CBC, TSH and a....nother test that I cant remember. And I just got word for the Doctor that all of the test have come back normal. So I am not sure what is wrong with me...well I am crazy but shhh don't tell anybody. And with this cold I have lost my voice and cant breath. So needless to say that I am even more tired. But I have gotten a blessing for it and I know that everything will be ok and that we will find a solution to what ever is wrong with me this time.
Story 4 The tale of the Forgotten Transfer
Um yea so today is transfer day....Oops sorry I forgot to tell y'all that earlier. But on the plus side I am not going any where and neither is sister Brown! So we will both be staying her in Canyon heights but with a twist. We are no longer just a companionship. We are now a....wait for it......Tripamionship! This transfer we will have another sister with us, and you will never guess who it is. It is Sister Johnson my MTC companion!!! We are all very excited and we know that this is going to be an adventure to say the lest! I am still a sister training leader with sister Brown, so that will still keep us very busy. And we are praying that the people that we have on date this month will work out, because that would just be awesome!! Our investigators are doing well and they should make there dates. There are just a few hurdles that have to be past first, like marriage, and Word of Wisdom problems. But we are hopefully looking to the future and praying that the lord will lead us to the people and places that we need to find!!
So there you have it, that was my week. And apart from the battle of La cucaracha it has been a pretty chill week. Especially since I have not been feeling well. But I am on the mend and will be right as rain in no time!! So I hope that y'all have a great week and that you send me pictures!!! Because I like pictures :) Love y'all so much !!!!
Love Sister Chatwin
P.S Don't follow the Spiders!!! Follow the Butterflies ;)
