MOM. You hate me. You didn’t even email meL i still love you
though and care about you guys so much. Last night we were watching some
devotional at the provo mtc (i totally saw Cameron foster in the video) but elder
nielson was talking and he was saying how we need to pray and ask Heavenly
Father to send us for specific people who have passed on to help us with our
mission. So then I got thinking about it... isn’t it weird that grandpa died
like right when i left for my mission? I know he will be there to help me
throughout this journey.
I think i jinxed myself last week when i said i don’t know
why everyone says a mission is so hard. Right after my email me and my
companion had to go teach a progressive investigator... and we did so bad. My
companion doesn’t even talk. It was just me talking the whole time and when she
does talk it doesn’t make sense and she teaches false doctrine. So my teacher
(who was the progressive investigator) got really mad at us (mostly her).
Because we are a sucky companionship. Haha then he made me tell her everything
that bothers me about her and I was yelling at her telling her how sucky of a
teacher she was... haha it was so bad and I was so frustrated. This past week
has been so hard and stressful. There hasn’t been a single moment where I haven’t
been on the verge of tears.
Tomorrow I leave for wellington and I am so scared. Its
weird not knowing who im going to be spending the next 12 weeks with/ where im going to be sleeping/ wether
or not im going to be good at this whole thing. I am so scared. Pray for me.
Tongans are so strange. I thought they were cool at first
but the more I am around them the more weirded out I get haha. Like they don’t brush
their teeth, they haven’t showered once since theyve been here, they blow their
nose into their hands... haha its so weird.
Me and my American roommate (sister Bromley-whos going to
wellington too) are really good friends. We stay up really late every night and
just talk. We both just love talking and once we start talking we cannot stop
talking. I love her so much. She reminds me of Tasia Kimball alot. She is so
fun and everyone LOVES her. I am so blessed to have her as a roommate and im
begging heavenly father to let me be companions with her before I come home.
I wish i had more time to write. I only had 30 minuites to
write you today. But im writing a letter. I would have sent you a letter sooner
but they don’t give us stamps in here. I love you so much. I hope everything is
going ok with everything. Hey can you send me another skirt extender and more
undershirts.
Ohh and I got like 30 free pairs of silky garment bottoms. They
are the old ones too so they fit really well!!!
Love this post, remember: Alma37:37-44 it has helped me throughout my life. My husband and I are going on a couples mission, from Ogden Utah. It's a pilot program for the church. I really like these posts and blogs from the younger Missionaries, has truly inspired me and helps me to really feel the spirit of missionary work, thank you!
