NEW YURR (February 18, 2014)

Sitting in the Library, on a Tuesday. Who knew that was National Fill the Library Day?
Every library, PACKED.
8 missionaries having to e-mail.
-lots of time to wait-

So, what do we do? Figure out what even happened this week and what to say in m

y email? No, no, that would be ridiculous.
Obviously take creepy stalker pics of people and have "librarian re-enactment" photoshoots with my District.....OBVIOUSLY.

One year ago today I was running around like a MADMAN still getting stuff together to go on a freakin MISSION in 2 days. Procrastination....will take that to my grave. #hopeless
"Milestones" tend to make you nostalgic... so I've been pondering a lot about my life this last year. How much I've changed, how GRATEFUL I am for choosing to serve, lessons learned, lessons NOT learned, lessons I NEED to learn.  If anything I've realized how great it is to be a missionary.

HOW GREAT is it to walk around representing Jesus Christ, ALWAYS. How great is it to have ALL of your time, talents, resources, DEDICATED to the Lord?

So even when you shovel driveways in skirts pretending to be terrorists....there is always that one token Saudi Arabian that chooses to walk by in that moment, who is watching you....wearing a turban....................

How great is it going to a teaching appointment before dinner and having that family "suprise" you with an authentic Vietnamese meal, full of weird meats, membrane looking "spring rolls", and a dessert that basically consists of sugar-less jello, "geltain cubes" (???????), ice cubes, and un-identified canned fruit............"oh..great...you...........shouldn't.....ha...v..e......................" #stillhaveadinnerappointmentafter #VOM

Sometimes I think I should know more than I do. Being out one year, as a Sister you are 2/3rds done! So people look to you as if you actually know what you are doing.

So that being said, I guess after one year I probably shouldn't be asking in MLC's to define "progressing investigator".....
Probably should remember by now that I have to wear a nametag....always..........
Probably should know by now how to check someones oil...? <--NOT we had car checks this week at our meeting and we had to check some Elders cars......"so just check the oil, engine fluid, some other fluid....and tire pressure..."

-blank stares-

"You don't know how to do that yet? You've been out like a year!"

DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE THE CORRELATION THERE!?!?!? There is none. Totally justified in our ignorance.

-still standing there-

"...so...they.....passed?"

PROBABLY should have learned by now how to manage my time better emailing as I see there are only 10 minutes left...and I still have to email President.

LOVIN' THE MISH! Goes by too fast.
