ok. seriously WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
where.to.begin.
NUMERO UNO- I just had a baby child. Well not really...but I've been out for 9 FREAKIN MUNTHSSSSSS$$$$$. It's actually the weirdest ever. Like one more pregnancy to go and im doneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
WHAT THE HECK NO NO NO MAKE IT STOP!
Literally like time flies by so fast it makes me die inside.....but I realized something, like the DAY I hit it....it just clicked in my mind. Like wait, I LIKE being on a mission---matter of fact I LOVE it!! AND i'm half way done....which means I'll never get those 9 months back...which means I probably should work harder...which means i'm half way over with gaining eternal blessings for my children...crap have I done enough? Are they going to come out with all sorts of problems?? Like will they know how to spell and stuff? Will my husband be totally hot because I've said like a DUH-load of prayers?? even though I hate public praying??? (isn't that a thing? like the more you pray the better looking your husband gets? like efy thing? right??)....which means every day I pass by means less and less time in the field...which means less and less time to be the HAPPIEST ever...which means i have to be EXACTLY obedient...which means since we accidentally went to bed last night at like 10:50 7,000 fairies just died and 23 investigators just got off date!!! WHICH MEANS I HATE HOW FAST TIME GOES BY!! AHHHHHHH
But in the mean time I took the classic pregnant pic which is a tradition amongst....myself. Since we are a new mission WE start all of the traditions...so like OOBER PRESSURE TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING GREAT...........10:15 still got nothing.......on exchanges so I have NO MATERIAL TO WORK WITH.....*commence prego pic*
Anysways enough about THAT.
THIS WEEK.
Literally.
like HOW to describe we saw SOO many miracles it KILLS ME! Sister Beus as you know left for Brazil.....34 minutes ago....which means right now I am FLYIN SOLO in the fam history center. Jk there are 5,0000 missionaries that serve here so its just crawling every p-day so I just bunk up with random sisters until....tonight....when ...........I go back trio-ing?? Still figuring it out but apparently as of now we are double covering two wards for the last 3 weeks of the transfer......STRESS.
BUT OK BACK TO MIRACLES
one word. DA GHE.TTo.
ok technically two...but WOW a literal goldmine of people searching for the truth AND DONT YOU DARE TELL ME THEY ARE LESS ACCOUNTABLE because they aint. I love them will all of my heart and EVERYONE here neglects those areas because they say you can't depend on them (which sometimes is a little bit true)
But me and Sister Beus were like so inspired and just thought lets go for it!! (PS DID I TELL YOU HOW EASY MISSIONARY WORK IS WHEN YOU AND YOUR COMP ARE BASICALLY THE SAME PERSON!?!?!) we literally had so much fun like I had to sit in bed at night and think...wait....am I still on a mission?? Like she will talk to N-E-ONE and knows JUST where to chime in when I cut out and it was like walking around on giant puff balls frolicking in lilacs Wichita remix edition.
you get the picture.
So we go to the ghetto where no missionaries have gone for months and find gobs of new investi's and are outta our minds teaching people who have the LITERAL GREATEST VOCABULARY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
and then we top it off with our LAST lesson together yesterday.
His name is Erico.
And we begin to teach the Restoration (he met with missionaries years ago...tried to take his own life last year by jumping out of a car....survived but got brain damage/amnesia so forgot like TONS of stuff...basically didn't remember what Mormons believed but knew he had met with them) anyway...TAUGHT with such unity it was like we were the Olsen Twins, Erico is EATING IT UP like so involved ACTUALLY ASKING QUESTIONS NOT JUST TALKING TO A WALL!?!? at the end says....im just so ANXIOUS to learn more...like I've never felt like this...I should have gone to church with YOU today! (he is a choir director at this Protestant Church where they love to shout praises)
I'm like
CAN I GET A HALLELUJAH AMEN!?!?!?!
*grandslam*
Seriously so in love with this man who by the way has gotten all 8 of his family members to his new Church because he thinks that Church is meant for families and it will bring them closer together!?!?!
*dumbfounded stare*
UH YEAH ERICO BRING THEM ALL TO OUR CHURCH!
PRAY FOR HIM PLEASSSSSSEEEEE!!!!!
Speaking of prayers....our mission is doing this thang called Noche Blanco. Basically a Mass Baptism on December 24th. Our goal is to get 40 in the month of December (which is DOUBLE our average) so it means EVERYONE will have to stretch...and we'll need ALL of the prayers we can get...but after 3 million miracles, a SUPER inspired conference with Elder Nash who basically dedicated our mission to perform miracles I KNOW it will happen. So please feel free to pray!!
Wow, I continue to be in awe of the Lord. Even though me and Sister Beus were only companions for 12 days we learned SO much and were able to accomplish EVEN MORE and she was EXACTLY the boost I needed as I hit the middle "sag" of my mission.
I feel so refreshed and recharged and so so in love with mission I'll never leave!
This basically includes no specific detail of our week but know that it was UH-MAZING.
LOVE YOU ALL
(PS next week is going to be like ulti-shout out day because I keep forgetting my list but if you sent me something KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU AND I WILL AWKWARDLY GIVE YOU THIS LAME EXCUSE OF A THANK YOU THROUGH THIS EMAIL)
