like I said, I spend a lot of time with the sisters.
We look cool, right?
I'm on a bike!
So, ignore the part where I look like a whal
e, more pictures, yay!
So every once in a while things happen and I think to myself, “is
this real life?” Mostly they’re the moments that make me laugh the most. Like
when we’re trying to find someone named Guadalupe but I say the name Carlos
instead and my companions and I spend the next hour tracking down a man named
Carlos who doesn’t actually exist. Or when I get put in a makeshift
trio for a day with two other sisters I’ve never served with, we find a stray
dog, get bitten, and then finally find a nice Kenyan man who knows Mormons and
is really grateful that we brought his dog back.
This week I rode a bike for the first time on my mission. It was
so cool! I am the happiest when I am outside and being on a bike just made it
that much better, aside from the part where I tried to talk on the phone at the
same time and biffed it, but all is well!
This area is so different than anywhere else I have ever served.
There are so many trees, and random critters everywhere, and lots of people let
us help with yard work. I just feel happy all the time. The sun is out, the
scenery is gorgeous, all the people are really nice. Actually, I just realized
that I live around a lot of older people…I probably like it so much because it
reminds me of home. I guess that’s what happens when you grow up in the
retirement capital of the US. I can’t wait to be a little old, white-haired
retired woman. I’m going to make lemonade, sit outside and tell my life stories
to random passersby.
Anyway, all is well in Jersey. If you didn’t have a chance to
watch “the work of salvation” then you should check it out! (http://www.lds.org/training/wwlt/2013/hastening/special-broadcast) And if you did watch it, you should think of cool ways that you
will apply what you learned. I love having a living prophet to help us apply
the teachings of the gospel for our specific time. What a blessing!
