o I have great news! I am not puking anymore! YEAHH!! Not only that I am 100 percent better(: Thanks for all of your prayers! And I hope that all of you know what movie the title came from if not shame on you! Tuesday night we had dinner with Sister Redd. She took us out to Chick-Fil-A and on the ride home we were quoting a lot of Princes Bride. Thus the title for my e-mail.
This will probably be a short e-mail. Nothing too crazy or exciting happened. I am having a few struggles getting along with Sister Mortensen. I find that the littlest things she does really annoy me. Yesterday morning was particularly hard we then went to a lesson with Jonathan (a struggling 17 year old). After feeling the spirit of that lesson we got into the car and I looked at Sister Mortensen and no longer felt upset or annoyed. I realized that I needed to look at her as Christ would. Even though it will be hard and most of you know I can be extremely prideful. I am going to do my best to be the best companion for her even though she might not be for me.
Something else I have learned this week is work your hardest. I believe it was Thursday, we had Zone Conference from 9-4:30. It was wonderful but by the end of it I was exhausted! I was able to see some missionaries that I had missed. Oh! And! Elder Hoyt, my first District Leader, who happens to be a BYU football player (look him up), is now the new AP (Assistant to the President). People thought it crazy that he went from District Leader to AP but to me it makes so much sense! He is one of the best missionaries I have met on my mission. They had us do speed role playing. We were in lines and we had to do a street contact of one minute about different topics they assigned us. Guess which topic was the last. The Law of Chastity (no sexual relationships before marriage). A street contact about the Law of Chastity? Hahaha needless to say I did pretty well(: But like I said it was pretty tiring. I didn't really want to go out and work and though every muscle in my body said I need sleep we went out to work anyways! Then of course a miracle happened. A less-active, Sister Lucero, we had been trying to visit with for months now with no success we decided to try. She was home and we shared a wonderful message with her. It was a testimony to me that as long as we are working our hardest we will see miracles!(:
Sorry that this e-mail is on the short side(: I'm sure that exciting things are just around the corner. I would love your prayers. A goal that the mission has sent is for every companionship to have a baptism in December so that we can have a "White Christmas".
Love you guys so much! Stay Sweet and Don't Do Drugs(:
