Practicing my summarization skills 

Well the good news is that I’m almost at my year mark.  The bad news is that I read my mom’s email about choosing my college major and that kind of took all of my energy so this email is going to be pretty short. I’m going to do the bullet system like walker does to make it short but effective. 

-1-This week I have been battling sickness. Our entire district has had like a 3 day fever except for me and one other sister.  So were fighting for the death.  Who knows?  Maybe this week is my turn. I really hope not!

-2-I have two elders in my going home batch in my zone right now. They are worse than I am.  They are counting the days we have left.  They are insane.  And it makes me count days too.  Bad bad influences haha

-3-I’m more than halfway done with the Old Testament. I just got to Ezra this morning.  Even though there are some hard parts....I love it.  It is awesome. I love reading it and knowing the situations and what things were like and how the time lines line up. Example: I saw in one of the Old Testament institute study guides that Lehi was born before Buddha.  Is that cool or what!?

-4-Maybe I’m getting the hang of Tagalog because I keep typing darn Tagalog words when I’m answering and writing emails and I have to keep back spacing. Nakakinis! haha

-5- We had an oym that asked how many wives my dad had.  Arghhh gotta love it

-6-Our area is super blessed with being able to find families to teach. Now I just hope they will progress. It is just amazing how people let us in and let us keep coming back.  They are pretty great.

Alight that’s about all I’ve got. I hope you all have had a good week.  Just remember that if it wasn’t the best week...opposition in all things hah. I feel you.  But the good won’t be nearly as good if you don’t have some bad. So keep on keepin on and keep the missionaries in your prayers!

Love
