Emily with all the sisters in the MTC!

Hello one and all! A PUPPY????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This week…. Where to begin? WELL. This week has definitely been a challenge and a blessing. Isn’t it strange how those always go together? Well actually we have met so many fun people this week! And so many rude and crazy people too. So one of our investigators N. or Sister N. is still not talking to us. Her baptism was supposed to be on Saturday….. Wah. It was really sad. I am not going to lie Saturday was a very hard day for me. I’m alright though 🙂
Brother K. or C. is still planning on being baptized on September 7th.. And that is in next transfer! So I am praying that I am still here.
On Thursday night we had another exchange! Sister T. went with the Sister trainer leader. And I got to be with Sister B.! She is adorable. She just got here. This is her first transfer so I was helping to train her although I am still technically training (I really don’t feel like I am anymore) I actually LOVED being with her and leading the area….. Who knows President M. said I will probs train once I am done being trained! So we shall see. We had a great day and got a lot done.. She is so sweet! She told me that I am a wonderful teacher and leader.. AWWWW SO SWEET! I still have a lot to work on though 🙂 Also we were both talking about how we wouldn’t mind going over to the French side!!!! NO WAY. So I am going to pray about it and consult with Heavenly Father and President M. and see if that’s what is to happen. Sister B. and I could be sent over there together. Awwww I love she bad. So basically it was a wonderful success! I did miss my wonderful comp Sister T. though! She is great. We feel as though she might get transferred off the island this coming up transfer and we just cry randomly thinking about it! Man I love her. She is my Sister. We get along well. It is a lot of hard work but it’s worth it.
We are teaching one of the wonderful recent converts (Sister C.) sisters!! We met with her upon on Monduh! (We met with her on a Monday) She made us cry!!! She has cancer and it is very sad to see.
Also on Sahuduh (Saturday) we went and did a service project. At Sister C.’s house. She is great. She always comes out teaching with us. We are very close with her. We went with the elders and cleaned up her alley way. We probably cleared out 600 beer bottles……… It was crazy! Somebody had a drinking problem! Hahaha One of the went through my glove and cut my hand. It was great! Good thing I got my shots right? Just kidding calm down mom. I am fine. She was so grateful. It is wonderful to get to serve people all day ereday.
I am actually learning to have more of a serious personality! Crazy. I know! A little kid let out some flatulence during a lesson this week and I DID NOT LAUGH. It was a miracle! I am learning to have a happy yet serious way about myself! I think it is great 🙂 I am learning and growing so much it is crazy. Although sometimes it is very hard. I know that it is all great learning experiences! We have met many people who are not the most kind people and tell us that we are young and should go and find the truth…. TOO BAD I ALREADY FOUND IT RIGHT?? 🙂 Sometimes it brings you down.
Hard things about serving here: There are literally SO many religions. Probably a hundred just on this baby island so everyone is so confused and thinks we are just another religion. The church is pretty far away and rarely do people have cars! Jobs. And lots of people have a problem with the Law of Chastity and word of wisdom! It is a lot of hard work! But it is oh so worth it. The church is still very small here.
The work is moving forward! And I love being a missionary. Tell everyone to write me! I LOVE YOU!!!! 🙂
Mommy: Hello! Thanks for giving me the low down. Sounds like life is a blast! I promise I am doing great. Yeah there are hard days and impossible moments where it is very hard. BUT it’s all in your attitude. You taught me that. I just keep smiling. Fake it till you make it on some days. But honestly I am doing great! There is a lot of stress and things but it’s all good learning. Don’t worry though. I love life and the hard days turn around always. The days are so long it’s hard to have a whole bad day! It’s fantastic! I love you a whole lot 🙂 Keep on keeping on. You are the best.
Pops: It sounds like you are playing too much without me!!!!! Haha and it sounds like you have a had a relaxing week 🙂 I forgot the meaning of that word! I am glad stake conference was good! I love you daddy! Have a great week. Keep working hard.
Have a great week everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you all!!!! I wish I could say everything that happens but there is not enough time.
