I
am doing just grand this week. I am exhausted as usual, but am
doing grand. Sister Boldt has been sick a lot this week, so I have
been taking care of her. We didn't even leave the
apartmentSaturday because she had a fever on and off. So I made
her sleep and have been nursing my TRAINER back to health! We have
been taking turns getting sick. She let me sleep in until TEN
O'CLOCK today! That little booger. She went and cleaned almost
the whole apartment, WHILE SHE IS STILL SICK. I mean, I am grateful
for the sleep, and I am still feeling really tired, but
she told me that she felt like she was going to throw
up and she was STILL CLEANING THE APARTMENT. My companion. Sheesh. haha.
My
days are all starting to blur together. I feel like Sundays are
like... every other day! But I guess that is a good thing because it
means we are keeping busy! Hmm.. what else? OH! I drove for the first
time yesterday on New England roads! But only because Sister Boldt
was sick and needed me to finish driving home. My poor companion :(
But if you haven't seen New England roads, then you don't know the
meaning of scary driving. The roads look like there is only enough
room for one car, but somehow two cars fit down it. So driving was a
fun adventure! I kept us all alive :D haha
Tomorrow we
are doing exchanges, which is when you switch companions for a day.
So tonight we are going to switch with the Sister Training Leaders in
our zone. Apparently the Sister Training Leaders call and ask the
District Leaders about any concerns they have about Sister Boldt and
I, or any suggestions they have for us. Apparently Elder Trujillo
told them that I needed to stay here in Oxford, and my companion
would go somewhere else for the day. Do you know what that means? Two
things. One, I am going to be in charge for the day which is SO scary
because I feel like I don't know how to do ANYTHING still!!! And
second, the fact that my District leader felt prompted to tell them
that I need to stay here means that he is making sure that I am
getting hardcore training. Elder Trujillo has been pushing me way
past my comfort zone since I got here, and has been making me do
things that greenies DO NOT normally do. For example, staying here
and being in charge for during exchanges. And also, he made me give a
training to our District ALL BY MYSELF. Greenies never, or rarely
give trainings, so he is training me HARDCORE. Between him and my
companion, I am learning a lot. But it is still scary to be a
leader..... especially since I have only been here for four weeks
starting yesterday.
The
storms have been interesting. I love watching the lightening, but the
thunder is scary. One set of our elders saw a lightening bolt touch
down several feet in front of them when they were driving. But they
were uninjured, and said it was wicked cool. So the tropical storms
here are always an adventure.
Our
youth had an awesome time at youth conference. They visited all the
church historical sights and did indeed attend the pageant. They also
went and did baptisms at one of the temples there. They slept in
tents so that they could have two solid days to get to do everything.
They had a blast. They rode up in charter buses, and all of the youth
wrote there testimony in two Book of Mormon's and gave them to each
of their bus drivers which I thought was the coolest thing ever!
Roasting
s'mores at a members house. They are foster parents so they have a
lot of little kids who love us to pieces! They have a sweedish
neice and nephew visiting who are visiting for the summer and are
interested in the gospel. They are amazing kids, and I would do anything for them!
