I
didn't have a 4th of July. It passed by before I even realized...
Man
that's gonna be rough on Oliver. 8 weeks? and right when I'm gonna get home.
Ugh.
Those
boys are looking so big now! (Our dog
Oliver was injured in a Frisbee accident and may need surgery.)
Oh
so this week we finally had the zone conference and it was with four zones!
more or less 50 missionaries. 11 of the 18 that are going home this transfer
were present so our testimony session took pretty much an hour like I thought
it would haha. It was kinda funny because my arrival group has 5 elders,4 Americans
and one Brazilian and all of us were present so the one Brazilian got to do
something rare which is hear the ending testimonies of all the Americans from
his group. I got to see a bunch of friends again including Elder EWERTON!!!
YAY!! This was the first time in almost a year that I got to see him! I can honestly
say I'm pretty proud of him! I was his second companion and now he's my
AP! He calls me Papai basically saying that I was his trainer. :) He gave a
really good training session.
Elder
Beatty also informed Webster, Kebker, and I that our MTC instructor Irmã Fuoco
is going to be sealed this Friday morning and she invited us all to
attend!! As for the temple, the missionaries who're ending their mission here
all go one last time in their last days.
One
more thing! One sister was joking a bit about her husband's large belly during
lunch and at the same time giving us advice but it was actually pretty funny.
"Girls want the cute little washboard abs, but a REAL woman wants the
large 10kg washing machine because she knows it gets the work done!"
haha (Dad's reply... SO THAT'S WHY Mom keeps the old washing machine fed!!
;-) She's really getting the work done now! :D)
My
throat's getting better. I'm pretty sure it's the house where we live. There's
a leakage problem when it rains and it's always pretty cold in our house. And
yes I did gargle with warm salt water. 2 times!
(I had a
talk and lesson to give on Sunday almost an hour and a half of talking.) Mom, you've
always had the gift of gab when it comes to gospel stuff :P (that's a good
thing) I'm pretty sure my talk will take up a good amount of time just because
I'll keep pausing to try to remember how to say English words haha :P I know
them all very well but saying them is another matter.
This
week apart from the sealing session I'll attend, I'll have self sufficiency
training on Wednesday. Tuesday morning we have a district
meeting but first we'll have a zone wide breakfast. Thursday there
will be an integration activity for the ward at night. Next Monday I'll
be going to the mission office and we'll have dinner with the President
followed by another testimony meeting. Next Tuesday we're going to
the temple, then we'll have our final interviews and Wednesday we're
getting on the plane!!
Yeah
the weather change won't be too big. It just won't get as chilly there haha.
Imma
make dad exercise with me :3
I
love you!!!
