FAMILY!!!!!! YOU'RE ALL GETTING BROKEN AT THE SAME
TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... but when I
got the letters from Mom and Dad explaining the situation with Grandma
Olive and her new pacemaker, and Grandma Dyer with her opposite heart
problem, and Uncle Dave with his torn Achilles Tendon... I did more
laughing than anything. But I think thats because BOT mom and dad were
joking about it too!!! Here's Dad telling me all about how Grandpa said
that Grandma needed a pacemaker and once the diagnosis was given, how
grandpa was all proud and all they needed now was an "installer"... My
family has the WEIRDEST sense of humor ever!!! I love it!! haha.. So
thank you for that because it helps me freak out less...
Also... So Uncle Dave... I'm apparently a year ahead of myself because I
thought you turned 50 last year.. WOOPS!! Oh man... Sometimes I'm right
and sometimes I'm wrong... This time I was wrong. But I still know how
old my Dad is, so I get credit for that right?! haha..
But I'm glad to hear that everybody is doing better and that nobody is
dead. That's happy news.
Also. Question! How in the world did Jeremy Mo end up in Australia
baptizing a girl he's gonna marry??? I'm so confused... hahaha.. But
clarification would be appreciated.
Now. On to me. This week we didn't have a car... So... We had a LOT of
planning and organizing we needed to do this last week, so we spent a
lot of time doing that... We spent too much time in our apartment,
because I was getting stir crazy... But all the stuff we did is gonna
help us be more productive this week... Hey... This week is the last
week of the transfer. If I get transferred I'll find out on Sunday
night, but you wont know until 8 days after that where I ended up. All I
can tell you next Monday is if I'm getting moved or not. So. Just the
heads up. So yeah. We did a lot of planning this week. Sis Kiser is a
lot more organized than me so.. I was learning a lot about planning, but
I was also struggling with being patient. I've always been a "lets just
go and do it" type of person, but she's just the opposite. She's been a
goal setter her whole life. But I think we're finally starting to be
able to sort of understand eachother and balance out. That's happy. One
thing that I've learned on my mission. Goal setting is okay. It's what
grown ups are supposed to do. haha..
Oh and hey. We set a baptismal date with Betty this week! That was
exciting. She agreed to it, but it totally took me off guard. But after
discussing what had just happened with Sis Kiser, we concluded that she
knows its true in her head, but she doesn't know in her heart yet. So
that's our goal. We're gonna leave her with commitments to do what she
needs to do to know it in her heart. And hopefully at the end of the
month, on the 28th, she'll be baptized! WOOT! The trick is... getting
her husband's permission... haha.. He's not our biggest fan.. But we'll
deal with that later... haha.. Oh man.. I love missionary work. The
devil tries so hard to work against us, but it doesn't work. We've got
more power. We've got the spirit. :)
So... That's the exciting news of this week. Hope everyone enjoyed their
week, and that everything is great. Stay warm in the great white north,
and I'll try to keep up with the weather here. It's so confusing
sometimes... hahaha...
LOVE Y'ALL!!!
THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
