Wow! Can you believe how much piles up in just two weeks?!
Okay, one step at a time.
Training is a blast! We work harder, smarter, and more efficiently. Yes, we are a threesome. Hna Scott is from California, is 23, and comes from money. We are working on helping her to work with these less prosperous circumstances. Once in a while she will make some comment and Hna Ghan and I will just look at each other with a "she has no idea" look. She has never had to clean her plate at the dinner table before. Oh, and she is a germaphobe. She threw out my sponge and wouldn't drink a glass of juice because the glass smelled funny. I must say that because she comes from such a different background that I had trouble loving her those first couple of days, but with a lot of prayer and effort, I love her to death now. Can you believe that she has never eaten anything off the floor?! She doesn't believe in the 5-second rule. :) :P
:) Hna Scott's very first lesson was with a woman that announced that her daughter (16) was pregnant and that they are struggling with knowing what to do. And Hna Scott's Spanish isn't great so it was fun to figure out what she understood after the lesson. :)
The Easter Pageant is INCREDIBLE!!! We have "worked" [ushered] the pageant three times now and will be working it tomorrow and Friday. I'll be wandering around talking to people. Oh, and speaking of wandering around talking to people at the pageant, I "bumped into" Brother and Sister Law and Kirkbnjailh somethin' or other. They served [a mission] with Nana & Grampa Stephenson in Nauvoo, IL and say hi.
Oh! So we went over to Letycia's (who we recently found out has cancer) on Sunday to see if she was going to come to church. We taught her about Sabbath Day observance and then she found out that it was Hna Ghan's birthday. So instead of coming to church she went out and bought us each a pair of very Mexican shoes and then said that she wasn't going to break the Sabbath Day again because she felt terrible about it. So we were comforted and now call the shoes our "apostate shoes". :) :P :D It was quite humorous. Oh, and she bought a gorgeous cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Soooooo good!
We have already had three songs sung and we had a birthday breakfast with our elders at a member's house. It was quite fun. We are also going to go out to do some window shopping with the money we don't have to celebrate. :)
The packages were great! When we opened the scripture cover packages I screeched. :P :D I LOVE THEM!!! They are perfect and just awesome. Yeah, I was pretty excited about them. For the next four days I showed them off to all our friends and investigators. :) Mom, we are waiting anxiously for the mixing bowl. I am craving some of Dad's pancakes, and some real maple syrup. Apparently shorts are allowed. And it's a good thing too, because it is getting hot! Even in the mornings. So if you could send me my black Capri’s and maybe the basketball shorts that would be awesome.
We'll be able to see all of conference. And I'm soooo excited. I love conference. The sessions start at 9 and 1 because we don't do DST.
Okay, I think that is all your questions answered.
I get the feeling that I am not going to recognize the house when I get back! I'm so excited! As long as you don't move like they did in the RM [movie], I'll be fine. :D
LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell Min I got her letter and love her rambling and that I will do my best to reply but I have a large backup of letters to write. LOVE!
Training is a blast!
