April 21, 2014

Dear Family,

Tell Aidan to keep trying! We're getting bikes hopefully soon so he can just come to Lincoln and we'll practice riding together...but at least he doesn't have to do it in a skirt...I have no idea how that's going  to work. We'll figure it out.
Dad, I love that all that you remember about my Pops Party is the food and getting a new book. haha
I don't remember any of it so I guess I'm not better.
Funny story about light sabers...a member gave us these blow dart things...and Sister McCauley and I used them as light sabers before we went to bed the other night so...yeah. We're super mature...;)
 
So this week has been great. Can I just say that having a companion that you like instantly get a long with is one of the greatest things ever. Missionary work is SO MUCH easier with a great companion. We've had a lot of fun this week. Also I had to give in training in a zone meeting this week. Um scariest thing I've ever had to do. 26 elders and 3 sisters staring at me. I got up there and I was like...can I run? Is that an option? But it went well. It was on following up and I was thankful for Elder Ballard for giving the Follow Up talk in general conference. Once I got started though it was cool because teaching just became very natural and even though my voice was shaking I felt confident. I love teaching with the Spirit. It's a lot easier than teaching by ourselves.
Another cool story. So Sis McCauley speaks a little bit of ASL because she served in ASL ward in Lincoln. Earlier Sis Sommmers and I tracted into a deaf couple. Obviously all I could say was hello and spell my name. So we went back and she signed to them about being missionaries and etc...They were nice but they said no to wanting to learn more about Jesus Christ. It was absolutely devastating when they said no! But it was just cool that she could communicate with them and since I've learned how to sign my testimony so that's cool. We'll probably go back and see them. :)
This week has been great but it's all been really hard. They decided to cut our miles...so we can only travel into our area and then back home at night that's it. So...members have to give us rides. And the people we were going to get bikes from decided last minute that they wanted to keep their bikes...which was terribly frustrating! But that's okay. The Lord provides these things. But it's been cool to just be happy even though a whole bunch of crazy stuff is going down.
So we forgot to pack dinner because we were doing service for this family all day so we figured that they would feed us after 5 hours of digging in the dirt. Nope...they were actually kind of rude. That's alright we love them anyway. Anyway we were like um alright so we just went on doing are thing  planning on coming home and eating after we got home at 9:00. But thankfully a member saw us and they had just gotten Wendy's and they were like hey have you eaten dinner yet? We said no. Then they just handed their Wendy's stuff to us and said here eat this and we'll go back and get more. So...how cool was that?! :) They even had vanilla frosty's. Coolest members ever. haha
Other than that it's been pretty chill. ;)
This week should be pretty epic. Hopefully. We plan on playing tennis all day today so I'm pumped for that. :)
Well hope all is well for you. Love you all.
Love, Sister Curfew
