So...............
Tranfers this week.
Due to certain circumstances thought I was staying.
Until this last week when I RANDOMLY got a package in the mail.
From the mission office.
I'm like what the? They sent us another Ensign?
Training Packet.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
but yes.
But whaaaaat???????? last transfer?? I'll only get to train her half but WHAT!?!?!?!?
Ok so then I'm like YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY IM GOING IN TO RETIREMENT!!!! Not going to lie, my engines were starting to run on empty with the whole STL thing. I learned SOOO much about myself this past year, all the extra work involved made it SO worth it. But glad to see it go :)
SO now I'm training.
Where you might ask?
Some where new? Somewhere OTHER than Wichita?
Nope.
Now going to the North side.
LITERALLY can't.ever.leave.this.place.
So if I ever come visit my mission it will be........................a very short tour. 3 of my 4 hours are within a 10 mile radius of each other.
HILARIOUS.
Super weird thinking about that cause in mission life, different zones, its like ETERNITY'S away. but its actually not.
So yes, BACK to the Derby Stake.
Pray for me and Sister Heidi Palmer from SLC. We need it out in Park Hill!!!
Ok.
Went on my last exchange (horrah!) with a Sister who is .............an herbalist? Getting ready for bed, when you have to pack for 24 hours.....you realize how high maintenace you are. So she whips out this little vile of POWDER puts it on her toothbrush and waters it down.
*quizzical stares*
"Its baking soda and nutmeg. what?"
VOM VOM VOM VOM VOM.
Then she washed her face with baking soda and.................VINEGAR?
"Its fine. I'll take my counter full of chemicals. NO.THANK.YOU."
Out street contacting had stopped by this house before and the kids loved us but the dad said they werent interested. HUGE like big fam reunion outside. we're walking by. HAVE to stop. "prove your faith" just like over and over in my head for the obvious awkwardness we were getting ourselves into.
SUPER awkward like small talk, what are you doing here again type chatter. Finally getting to the non-awkward look we're actually normal convo------
When a truck comes FLYING up skidding all over on the gravel road. Screeches in to the driveway.
"HOWS IT GOIN LAAAAAAYYYYDIES?????"
We turn slowly.
Brother Shinn.
The ultimate red-neck.
"COME N' SEE MAH HOG!"
Has a pet pig he has just finagled from someone... in a dog carrier.
*people* "you know him?"
"Yeah he's a mem.....ber......of......the church...you should totally come to......?"
But it worked out because they already knew each other as crazy neighbor and the bonded over the times growing up as hicks. Let them bond over animals as we walk away, a lasting comment:
"You ever fry a rooster?"
LOVE KANSAS.
Gotta go pack.
ridiculous.
