so this week was a lot better. we just
got transfer news. im staying in my area for the next six weeks!! woo! i love
my area. mainly because of the people. things with my comp are getting better. we just have been working on our
communication. i have also just decided to drop like...everything. in that all
these things we argue about arent even worth arguing about. so i just drop it.
i hope it doesnt turn into a "laid back, dont care" attitude. that
wouldnt be good. but i just need to find a good balance.
your week sounds pretty awesome. i cant wait to see all the costumes from halloween. im going to miss that
so much. kennedy...halloween doesnt really exist over here. so i'll just have
to celebrate it by myself. :) itll be sweet dont worry. and ya i hope i get the
other package too. if not dont send another one! i really appreciate you guys
being so thoughtful of me. but my bday will be sweet. also i had a thought come to mind. morgan. as you are now able to drive a little bit. please please please keep your eyes on the road. make sure you are always driving safely. always wear your seat belt. you have no idea how fast a bad accident can ruin your life so just be safe. also, today i noticed that im getting used to the living conditions here. which is
nice.
two cool things this week. so we
were waiting to teach this sister named mamma yaa, and like six kids that are about 10
yrs old were just hangin around with us. and i was just talking with them. one
of them was making a beat with his hands on his chest. so i told him to sit
down and to play a certain beat. while he was playing i came in drumming on the
bench and we were just making the coolest beats. it was awesome and the kids
were just smiling and it was just super fun. these things seriously just make
my mission. also today i met six white girls. which was SUPER weird. they were
from Finland, Sweden, and Germany. they were all about my age. and they were
here teaching in some of the schools. they asked what we were doing here and it
was just cool to explain to them who we were. so we taught this guy for the
first time on friday. the lesson was short and he seemed kind of interested.
but usually we can tell if they are interested or not and if they really want
to come to church. he seemed like he didnt really want to come. but on sunday
he just showed up! it was awesome. so we are teaching him more now and we are
hoping he progresses.
well that is about it for this week. im doing a lot
better. also i had a thought. that when i get home, and im looking back on my
mission, what do i want to see? do i want to see happiness or sadness?
positivity or negativity? myself working hard or slacking? it has really
helped. i just have been thinking about home a lot and i want to focus on my
mission. so im trying. keep me in your prayers. love you all!
