Hola Family!

Ok....will someone watch Mega Mind for me?! I'm missing the movie like crazy! I don't know what it is except that I LOVE that movie...and I'm quoting it, but Sister Allred hasn't seen it, so I feel like she can't really appreciate when I do :( Poor me...right?!

So this week was good. We went around and visited a lot of less active members. We went to visit a less active...and when we told Brother Amos (our ward mission leader) that we were going to go and visit, he just laughed. she was kinda....out there, but she was really sweet. We went in and she had these two parrots that she has had for a while I guess and the were chillin up on the drapes. Anywho, she was like, they never poop, because I never find poop....well, let me tell you, there was poop there. She was out there and she was really sweet but there were a couple times that Sister Allred and I almost LOST it! We had to stop looking at each other because then we would start laughing, and it was really hard to keep it in. We are going to go back and visit her, so it should be great. We also visited this other lady, who is the bomb. Her husband has had a variety of illnesses for the last seven years and she is his primary care giver. It was really sad just because she can't really go out now, but she loves church and is excited to come back, but sad too, because he has alzheimers and parkinsons, so he doesn't even remember who she is most times. It's really sad, but by the time that we left she was my new hero. there are so many people that are out there that really make so much of the situations that they are in!


So...I'm missing America. I didn't realized how truly blessed that I am. It's kinda sad really! But I miss America and I've realized how truly blessed I have been to be raised in the church. It's such a huge blessing! I honestly didn't realize the difference it made, as selfish and silly as that may sound.

Hm...Oh! So there is this couple in our ward who are awesome. They have only been in the Church for about 6 months but if I didn't know that I woul think that they were in the church for forever! We went to eat with them on Saturday, and they said that they would take us out on a p-day to anywhere we wanted....so we might go to a castle, because there is one close! We also might be going to a light house today, it just depends on how things go with the rest of the day, because we've got an appointment this morning (thus the reason that I'm writing earlier) and a BBQ to go to! So yeah...


Hmm...I'm trying to think of what else. We finally met the Bishop yesterday! That was exciting! he is really great and it will be good to work closer with the ward to get people coming back and coming in. He promised us that if we worked hard, that we would see a baptism in this ward by the end of our first moves (first 6 weeks) so that will be cool, we just have to work hard to find people. A lot of people are interested in what we have to say, but no one really wants to change thier lives or meet with us again.

So...life is great. I'm getting more used to being a missionary! I love it :) I love you all! Take care of yourselves and remember who you are and all that you have! Lots of love!!!!
