Letter #33

(PLEASE FORGIVE MY {SISTER} FOR NOT UPDATING RECENTLY... I {sister} will Repent)

Hey Fam. How is goin? It good here. I am jus sittin here in the Lib writin online. This week has been a good one. I have had to learn how to be patient with my comp, I learned a lot though. Somedays I feel like a mommy makin her do things. BUT when its got to get done its GOT 2 get DONE. I hope Easty's mud butt is doin better. I tend to get it a lot down here in the south where they cook that southern cookin. bLAH! : ) One year from yesterday I gave my farwell talk. Crazy huh?? It went by super fast. I was so different back then. ha ha.. We had interviews with President this las week. He made me feel so good. The first thing he told me was how proud he was of me and how highly he thought of me and he said that I was doing great things. He said that I should never worry about what he thought of me cuz it was always great. I sure do love President Griffin. He is a little intimating @ first, but such a great man.
We tracted a lot, had a lot of doors slammed. It wasn't too bad. Whenever I get rejected I tell myself "YOU ARE A SEXY BEAST"........ that boosts my confidence a lot . ya know? I noticed that we were never praying and asking Heavenly Father where we should go tracting. So I thought that maybe we weren't tracting where he wanted us to and thats why we weren't enjoying the tracting. So we started to pray where to go and it was so much more happenin. Yesterday we talked to a couple of people and I met 2 people who said they reminded me of their grandaughter. LOL. . My companions are very discouraged with the work. I tell myself to NOT get discouraged cuz that will break you as a missionary. I have 2 tell my one companion to do things like (add up mileage, call people, what to say in lessons, what we're gonna teach, and who to talk to at church)....cuz she just thinks she can't and won't do it unless I push her.... She got way mad at me yesterday for tellin her that she needed to get the job done cuz we receive blessings as we are obedient even in the little things (like keeping track of our miles) . . . ..It is weird, but hey I love her.
I been havin like a 1 year crisis or somethin. HAHA.... I noticed I set all these goals ya know at the begginning of my mission and I was like CRAP what if I don't accomplish these and reach my fullest potential... THen I told myself these goals I set are LIFE LONG GOALS.. and even though I won't have a tag in 7 months.. I will still be a member missionary. THAT MADE ME FEEL BETTER.. I then ya know hear all these missionaries saying how they are goin to this college and that college and seeing all there friends again... I kinda think man.. all my friends are not even there when I get home and they all are poppin out babies... and I have to go be a grown-up.... I just try not to talk about it.. haha...lol..
THings are REALLY REALLY good though. Man I am just so comfortable with bein a missionary. I felt like this is what I have been born to do. ha ha. The people here live in these huge million dollar houses. They are like really lonely though so thats good. We met a lady named Margie that loves Glen Beck and Mitt Romney. She thinks she is already a mormon. She is a hypocondrach though and she is on pills. She lives in a way HUGE HUGE house that is super nice... She lives a lone so when we go talk to her at her house she just TALKS UP A STORM. She says thats what happens when u live a lone.. u want to talk a lot. lol..... she read us this really nasty letter about me and my companions that her sister wrote her. It was about how we are a cult and not true christians. I about cried. I couldn't believe she read it to us... I then just bore my testimony that we are not a cult and that we are christains.
There are so many stupid mis conceptions about our church. Members here in the south have it ROUGH...
Well fam I hope that that one BYUI teachers husband is doin good. What a tragedy. I am glad that I don't hear about these tragedys on a missions. I feel like I in a nother WORLD.. lol....LOVE IT...
