Halloooooooooo (that was meant to sound like Tigger).
The Lord has taught me ALOT this week.... and I am going to have to leave it at that. Sundays are always our most eventful days. We are so very ready for pday.
I
got a blessing yesterday and it was amazing. My Heavenly Father truly
does love me and know me personally. Don't worry everything is okay...
NOW. Again the Lord is just teaching me lots on this wonderful mission
:]
Our deaf and almost blind investigator came to
church tho! It was a miracle! He's as blind as you mom and currently
doesn't have glasses. It makes for an interesting conversation in sign.
Too bad he doesn't do tactile sign.
And happy late Halloween by the way.
We
dressed up!!!!!! Picture included. [Didn't get a photo, maybe next week.] So Halloween night came around and we
had to be in off the streets at 6. Kind of glad I wasn't in Stockton for
Halloween. And then our zone got together and got to watch a movie
about President Monson... anyways we dressed up... but were still missionaries!
bahaha It was awesome :] There is currently lots of candy laying around
our apartment now. everyone has given much of their leftovers.
So with the new announcement about age our mission has
been informed that we will probably grow from 190 missionaries to 250 in
the next six months!! And most of those are sisters!! Apparently they
are kind of worried about how we are going to train all of them, but it
makes me nervous cause I know I will be put to work soon and I'm still
new at this thing.
Amen to daylight saving time!! I woke up on Sunday
turned off the alarm, switched the light on, mumbled to the comp, and
instead of dropping to my knees I decided I needed to go to the bathroom
first. So I finish and come out and my comp is still in bed! I'm like
umm its 6:33 get up. When she tells me to turn off the lights and get
back in bed we have another hour! Oh my goodness!! I was so filled with
joy!! We got to sleep in an extra hour! And still wake up at 6:29!
Daylight Saving is one of God's greatest tender mercies to missionaries.
Umm I received way too many hugs from men this week.
They seem to just lunge and you can't really shout to tell them when
their deaf to say no thanks. Oh my goodness, so awkward lol. I got some
loving this week too... from a bird! He is an adorable pet of a lady we
met FROM ARMENIA! She's legit and going to cut my hair for me. She knows Armenian/Russian/Ukranian sign too. Its all the same language. Anyways he
loved me and kissed me a ton... most loving I've had in awhile.
We are also hoping to start working with a deaf
FAMILY we met recently. The mother is a member and they have 5 kids, 4
deaf! They are all so adorable and we hope to help them draw closer to
their Savior. More to come with them hopefully!
There was no youth conference over Halloween break? I
loved the costumes :] bahahaha Thanks for the "boo bong Schaefer" story.
bahahaha Made my day :] Did i ever tell you Danillo got tackled last
time we did the Strates?!. bahahaha
As to the stake presidency ... do I have a picture up
or anything at the stake center? I know a lot of missionaries have a
plaque with their mission scripture or something and I was just always
curious if that was the case with our stake as well.
Sorry I'm out of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you all so much!

Dad: write me! I need more daddy loving :]
