Hey Mom!
Thanks for the email! I can't believe
its already been a week either, time is going by way fast! it's almost August!!
thanks for answering all my questions and more. i'm floored by how successful
your bakery is doing, you are so awesome! Sister Drio says she'll come work at
your bakery if you want because she used to work at a bakery. hahaha, everyone
thinks its so cool when i tell them my mom has a bakery :) i miss your cooking
SOOOO MUCH! when i come home i'm just going to eat everything in sight and die.
ok? ok. oh man i can't believe elena is so close to having her baby and i
agree, an induction is probably better than completely natural! she's lucky in
a way. wow i knew this day would come, but i can't believe it's actually like
tomorrow or something! glad to hear
you're still garage saleing! Your emails always make me laugh.
Yeah, laundry takes forever! The most
frustrating thing is that sometimes it rains and the wind is really strong and
my clean clothes fall on the dirty ground and i have to wash them all over
again. I haven't received the other package yet, but maybe tomorrow. I'm
planning on going to the store today and getting those ingredients to make some
of the recipes you sent me. I can't wait! My roommates always act really
nervous when i cook like they think i have no clue what i'm doing. When it
comes to philipino food, that's usually true. but they have no idea that i used
to cook ALL the time in college and when it comes to following a recipe i'm a
pro! :) hahaha,. that's the problem, they all cook without recipes and i have
no clue how to do that!
You are so lucky you get to go to Oklahoma and see
Nat! She said that Maddie says my name and knows that I'm on a mission in the
philippines. That's so cute!
I know I'm supposed to be here but
its weird how time just goes on and things change while you're gone. Transfer
day is August 9th! So i might be getting a new companion and a new area or
everything could stay the same, no idea yet. But i'm excited to find out. Tagalog
is getting a bit easier every day and i'm still studying it a lot but i don't
feel so nervous when i speak anymore or like i have to think super hard about
what i'm going to say. i know that the spirit is helping me a lot. thank you
for all your prayers.
The most exciting part of missionary work is when we
find people that are ready to hear the gospel. or when someone you've been
teaching forever FINALLY comes to sacrament meeting. but the most disappointing
part is when they don't progress or we never follow up. a lot of times i want
to go visit someone we met the other day who seemed really excited about our
message but my comp. says no, they're not ready. Sometimes i want to be a
trainer so i can reach my full potential as a missionary. I can see myself
changing into someone who is more patient and sensitive. I'm trying not to change
a lot but i can see the mission changing me. I know i still have so much
further to go, especially with being more humble and submissive, but the only
reason i want more power is so i can serve God better and be more effective. So
i don't know if that's bad.
I’m so grateful for the gospel and that we can
repent and be better and better. i miss ya'll so much and love hearing from
you! keep telling me everything!!
Love,
Age
