Well hello!
So...exciting news....I get to kill off my trainer. She is leaving after this transfer, so in mission jargon, she will die, so I am killing her...haha. It is weird, but I thought it would be a fun title.
I am lovin' the pictures of the sunsets and sunrises and such. They are amazing! I am jealous. I don't know if I said it last week, but I know that I get to sacrifice beautiful sunsets and sunrises, because I've only seen one amazing one here, though when the shadows and the orange sky time is cool....if that makes sense. I can't remember what it is called right now.,...weird!
So apparently I talk in my sleep....and sometime last week I had a dream in Spanish and I was speaking Spanish and woke sister Shull up. Then, I sat straight up in bed and said, "and that's baptism. The end." and sat back down....weird I tell ya! Apparently I shouldn't talk in Spanish to people close to bedtime....or eat....haha
Well, I got driving privileges on Monday. I am not as directionally challenged here as I thought. I am able to find places in Port Naches and in Nederland, but Groves and Port Arthur are still super difficult. It is sixes on how much I remember in Bridge City though....We'll see. We've not been out there this week so far.
So yes....driving privileges on Monday....so I drove Monday and Tuesday all up until when someone crashed into our parked car (we weren't in it) and then I haven't driven today. Would you like me to explain it? I will.... ;)
Well, the roads here aren't very big, but I'd parked the car about halfway off the road (as is customary) and we went into the apt. We were there for about an hour when we heard the crash. I asked what it was, and the Sister Thibideaux (tib-id-oh) said, "I think someone crashed their car, but don't worry, it sounded like it was across the street)." We said, "uh....we parked across the street," but by that time we'd already felt our hearts sink into our stomaches. So we went outside and heard the groaning. We went over to their car and asked if everyone were conscious. We heard a few yes responses and someone asked if we'd call the ambulance. Bro. Thibideaux called the ambulance and they came within 7 minutes.
There were four people in their car and they were all hurting pretty bad. One of them was having spasms and his neck was in a brace (as the medics were getting him out of the car) and the driver was hardly moving. The ones in the back thought they broke some ribs and they weren't moving either. Though, I'm pretty sure that is a good thing because you don't want to move. Three in their 30s, one in his 20s. The speed limit on the road is 30, so they were going at least that. They said they swerved to miss something and they hit our car. It wasn't from the back, but it wasn't from the side. They hit the tire area on the back driver's side.
The police report says I was legally parked and they have insurance, so we should be good.
We called Elder Stelse last night and he and Elder Rigby brought us a car this morning and looked/took pictures of the damage on our car. We have a 2010 Malibu with under 900 miles on it. Fancy living! It smells new still. We will have it for probably 2-4 weeks while our Malibu is fixed. Ours had around 7000 miles on it....but that is just random. We are just getting back from the police station so that is why that is mostly about it.
So yes...I'm safe.....It wasn't my fault.....and we were able to meet a lot of people..... I sure hope the others are ok. They weren't looking so good, and neither was their car.
Early last week, sister Shull and I went to Sister Alexander's nursing home (she is only 55....its sad....but she is really nice!) and she sung while I played the piano. The old folks loved it! I had fun because I could sit behind the piano where no one could see me and I could just go for it. My piano skills have definitely improved (and got worse at the same time...I don't get it) and we have fun. She has had lots of training to be a singer and I've trained to play the piano, so it all works out!
Sister Shull and I are going to go crabbing with Maggie next week for P-Day. I'm super excited.
Sister Cummings told us about a place in Chaco, New Mexico where there are Indian ruins and it appears to be a Nephite Temple, so that is cool and I definitely want to check that out after I get home. We can have a family vacation and get out of the cold Utah February (or March) and go to New Mexico! Who is with me?!!?!?
I'm glad the walk for diabetes went well. I was going to ask....I don't doubt that anyone had a bad time....so that is good. I take it Dad didn't go? ;) How much did he make on the accordion? Buy Low, Sell High! That's my padre!
We are still getting some hard/mean people, but I shouldn't expect everyone to listen to what I have to say and be nice. The other day, there was a Southern Baptist man who his wife asked us to go around the back of the house to see. He was watching the plumber. We walked up, and he said, "What are the chances that I will convert you to Southern Baptist?" Before I could answer(and I had a good answer for it!), the plumber came out of his hole and started rambling about how Mormons are his favorite people and how we don't believe in the trinity and how we were right about that. Then he said he had a question for us, but he did so much random talking about nothing that I guess we both missed the question, because then he looked at us smugly and went back into his hole before we could answer. Then I tried to give the man a card with the articles of faith on it, but he was rude and said I could give it to someone else and said, 'have a nice day" (.S. Did you get the package I sent? I didn't ask for a confirmation, so hopefully you tell me when it comes!
It doesn't sound rude, but it was. He wouldn't let me finish a sentence. I was ragin in the cajun!) They both looked so smug and I was bugged because they hadn't proved a thing, but you wouldn't know it by the way they were talking and acting. My advice for the week: Don't ask a question if you aren't willing to listen to the answer....
Well, I think that is about all. I'm pretty sure I've talked your ear off. This has been a super long time in the making, but that is ok.
Can you send my memory card back when you get a chance? That way, I can have the one as a spare in case I do fill this one up crabbing! Haha
Well, Love you all and hope that you have a fabulous week!

There was a screw in the tire of my car? What? Who put it there? It couldn't have been me! haha...
Fire drills are no bueno. I always hated them growing up. I just wanted to get back in to work, so I started taking out a notebook and continued to work. But that was me....a little over the top in high school...;) ( Connie---There was a fire drill at school this week)
Can you send me "The Olive Tree" song in a letter (if you make a copy) or something? Or the whole book? Well, maybe not the whole book, but Away in a Manger and The Olive Tree...that should get me through for a while. They only have interim hymns in sacrament, and my comp can really sing, so I think that would be fun to play the Olive Tree and have her sing to have a musical number....
So Bobbie, the one I talked about last week, we met with her on Thursday and she said she wanted to get baptized! Woo hoo! I am so excited for her. She is wanting to be involved with everything! We get to talk to her about the Word of Wisdom this week, so that will be a fun adventure!
The mosquitoes here are huge and plentiful! Every time we took a step on the grass in Bridge City yesterday, six or more mosquitoes would come up from the grass....each step! I'm not lying or exaggerating, I promise! If anything, I am saying a little less so that people won't think I'm lying!
We had some intense rain the other day and some intense thunder. I think a lot of streets were flooded, but it was ok. We had 6 appts so we didn't have to be out in the water, but then when 3 of them canceled or weren't living in the house, we ended up being in the water a little....The weather here is a little messed up. Anyway....
Thanks for my teeth! They are beautiful!
Jackie
Sorry, I ended that last one abruptly. I love you though! I will write next week. Maybe something really cool will happen...I don't know. I am sending a package! Exciting! It has a tape in it. Sister Shull taught me how to use tapes. Anyway, I love you mucho!

September 16, 2009
Last week, Sister Fuller wrote a letter, but it was deleted. So we got a "Hello, I am fine, everything was deleted" email. This week was much better. Here is the news from the field:
Did you know armadillos can carry leprosy? Well, they can! Apparently there was a leper colony in Louisiana and armadillos were around...they found that people that touched armadillos were getting leprosy. So be careful around armadillos! Also, armadillos have a nerve reaction that make them jump when they are afraid or in danger. When alligators come to eat them, they jump and mostly narrowly escape the jaws of death! But when cars come, they jump into the car and die. That is why there are dead armadillos on the road! I haven't seen one, but there are members here that are big into ecology and wildlife, so I hear all about cool stuff like this! I am waiting til I get to see, maybe touch an armadillo, though, I will have to be careful because I'd rather not get leprosy!
So they have really weird street names here. There is one that is Fernwood and I think of grandma Fern, though, she is a Schenk and not a Wood. Then, along the road we jog there is a Sherylwood, a Jasonwood, and a Markwood all in a row. It makes me think of Orem and I'm waiting to see a Justinwood or a Gangsterwood or a Pamwood....give it time, I'm sure.
So exciting! At Walgreens, we found tapes for 1.79 instead of more expensive so I bought two packs- 20 tapes and there is a tape recorder in the cupboard, so I can send you tapes! I am super stoked about it.
Happy birthday last week to Pam and Paul! I didn't even think about it! I am sorry....Maybe next week when I go to Walmart I can find a card, but we've already made that trip for today.
Happy Birthday Padre too! That is so so exciting! Not everyone gets to be 52 this year!
Well, I can't think of anything else to say....how sad....but I love you mucho!

September 2, 3009
Hola!
So...hopefully you aren't missing me too much...I'd feel bad. There isn't much time to miss ya'll, but I try to miss you once a week at least so you don't feel bad. ;)
Luckily, I keep a sticky note in my planner each week so I can write down all the things I want to tell ya'll in the email. :D
(notice the ya'll...its working! ;)
Ok...first off, I need my memory card for my camera if you will. :D Thank you kindly!
Happy Birthday Grandma Lizzie! Woo! 100 is pretty fantastic, and I must say, that blue shirt is one of my favorites on Grandma....
So I learned something new this week. Sister Missionaries, for their 18 month mark, it is in the middle of a transfer, so I am actually out for 18 months and three weeks....so really, it is like I have only been out 2 weeks. I only have 76 left to go. Hopefully I use them wisely!
Our district consists of 2 spanish speaking elders, a senior couple, and us. It is rather a strange district (apparently) but I love it! The spanish elders are super funny and we are going to the park today. The senior couple, from Soda Springs, ID are my favorite! They are the Curtis Couple. They served in the Cove Fort mission a few years back....it was when I was in high school, so sister curtis may have given me that little wooden button that is on the string. (Hopefully you know what I'm talking about). Anyway...They are amazing! I love living close to them and we visit them and see them all around. I love it! They are like a third set of grandparents. We would do anything for them and they would do anything for us.
Sister Shull and I went down to the lower Port Arthur this week. She prefaced the trip with, "As long as we aren't doing anything stupid, the Lord will protect us." I was a little worried at that preface, but I could see why the warning. We went because we had a set appointment and a set place to be so we walked with purpose and we didn't go tracting. It isn't a place we are allowed to go tracting (don't worry, I was totally safe the whole time. I just thought it was funny).
In Port Arthur, we visited the Foreman family. They are super funny! Sister Foreman has a louder voice and personality. We went in, sat on the couch and said, "Oh honey, why you look so scared?" Apparently I looked afraid, but I have seen black people before....I wanted to explain that...;) We had a good visit and she came to stake conference on Sunday with 3 of her sons. We are going to go back before her son goes back to Baltimore (where he plays basketball for a college there). They are super nice...anyway...
The food here is amazing! I really like it. They put a lot of spices in everything. Its mostly cajun stuff. They have a whole section of Walmart dedicated to spices that I'd never seen before in Utah (and probably won't ever see in Utah). I should take a picture for ya'll. Oh, and chicken and dumplings...you cook the dumplings in with the chicken broth! Who knew? It is good. Oh, and instead of putting gravy over potatoes and such, they put stuff over rice. Its a new concept for me, but luckily Pam fed me for a while, and they used rice, so I knew that it is used for things.... (if that makes sense).
So...we have a baptismal date! Things were going real rough for the first two weeks. We didn't have anyone to teach. Well, we caught this lady that they've been working with for a couple of months (but never taught a lesson to) and we taught her the first lesson and she asked us when she could be baptized. The only catch: her husband is a jerkface and we don't know if he will consent to her being baptized. We'll have to see what comes of it, but she is set to be baptized on October 1st. We are stoked. Last week, I wanted to set a goal of having a family of 4 come to church. Well, Joanne's family has 3 kids of age to be baptized and her, making it a family of 4....so if she brings them to church, then we are golden and reached the goal that seemed so unfathomable. :D I love goal setting....and positive thinking and such. It is great!
So....I can't relate to a lot of people we've been talking to. There are a lot of people with rough home lifes, and my companion talks to them and they talk about how to grow up righteously and live beyond what is going on, but I just sit there and smile. So thank you for making it so I don't relate, because I am so glad and grateful for the life I enjoyed! It was amazing and I am blessed for it. Thanks Parentals!
So here, when you don't hear what someone is saying to you, instead of saying, "excuse me?," or "what?" You say, "ma'am?" It is the weirdest thing and I didn't understand what they were saying for a while, but I got it now. Well, I get what they are saying, but I haven't started saying 'ma'am' yet. That is just too much for me at this time. But yes, I would say something, they would say "ma'am" and I would say, "what?" and they would say "ma'am" again. It would last until Sister Shull would say what I had said again. It was confusing! haha.
Something else that confused me was when they would say "ya'll." Apparently, "ya'll" can mean just you, instead of a group of yous!
A lot of the dinner appointments we go to, they ask, "have ya'll had this before? (or something similar), and I would answer that Sister Shull may have, but I haven't...or something to that effect. But even when they are clearly only talking to me, or someone else, they will say "ya'll." I don't get it, but I, again, am working on it.
There are some thick accents I can't understand yet, but I am definitely getting better....Plus, there are some that will speak without hardly moving their mouths. I didn't realize that one could talk without barely moving, but it is possible! I am one that is very animated in my speech, so yes....difficult times! :D
I say "they" like it encompasses the whole of Texas, but it doesn't....but it does cover most of the people that I have been in contact with....(that is my disclaimer)
So I lost my clothes in the MTC, not at the mission home....but that is just a trivia side note.
Oh, and Happy Birthday to Jaiden Face! Man, he isn't old enough....but now at least he gets chocolate....and does he get ice cream now? hm....its too much to keep track of.
Speaking of ice cream....Texas has the best kind of ice cream ever! It is called Blue Bell. I've NEVER tasted anything so good! (And I don't think that is because it is so darn hot here that ice cream tastes better). I think Kelly would be in Heaven. They have many different flavors....You could probably google it....I can't though.
I had to try and fix a computer myself...without the support of my tech support. I wanted to call Jeff F. at least 10 times! but I couldn't. I put on the virus software, then had to disable it all to get on the internet, then I couldn't get the printer to work for this sweetest lady (named Maggie...newman knows her)...but alas, it is going to be another day project we decided, and Maggie will call Jeff and will talk through the phone as I am fixing the computer....;) How about it Jeff? ;)
Anyway, I think that is all that I have to say. Oh, did I tell you how I almost died last week? It might be in the letter... And I got to see the largest firehydrant in the world. It is in Beaumont and Sister Jolly took us there. You'll see pictures. I enjoyed it. My favorite sign was one that said, "smoking in bed is stupid." Then it went on, but I can't remember the fine print.
So....let me know how life is. It sounds like you are all having a rip roaring good time. I am too....teaching, talking, and soon I'll go crabbing! :D
Love you all! Hasta la pasta until next time!
Jack
P.S. I just wanted to add a little side note....
Don't worry about me. I'm safe. The lord is protecting us. As long as we don't do anything stupid, we will be safe....and I don't like doing stupid things....
P.P.S. I forgot to mention the mosquitoes. They are the worst creatures ever! I have 26 bites on my left ANKLe alone.... All the skito spray in the world won't keep them away....and yes, being allergic is having its moments, but luckily only a few have swelled up to a big size, and even those aren't as bad as Kelly and Haylee get them, so don't worry, I just thought I would let you know they are the devils!
And they have these locusts down here that sit in the trees and make so much noise. I don't know how they do it. Apparently, one day, they will all just die....so one day, there is noise, the next day...silence! I think that will be weird....haha...
Just thought I would add that! Love you!
So...hopefully you aren't missing me too much...I'd feel bad. There isn't much time to miss ya'll, but I try to miss you once a week at least so you don't feel bad. ;)

Just thought I would add that! Love you!
