June 1, 2010

Hi There!

Happy Memorial Day yesterday! We pretty much played all day yesterday. We haven't gone shopping for food in a couple of weeks so we are out of eggs and bread but that's ok. We'll just have to figure something else out...haha.... I've eaten my weight in food the last couple of days with members so I'm not too worried....I'm getting a gut. It is no bueno. I need to lay off the super dense brownies and the fried seafood....unfortunately the last few meals, my plate was fixed for me.

I think it is so funny...they all say, "want me to fix your plate?" and I say, "no ma'am!" well, I don't say that, but I do try to get them to allow me to fix my own. Sometimes it works, others it doesn't. My plate fixin is about half or a third of what they give me. I have a little stomache but it is expanding!

Poor JFace! I hope he enjoys his time as a broken. He has weak bones like his Madre. ;) Just kidding! but not...haha
Luckily he and H. get along or she'd probably have bruises these three weeks!

So...the B. are getting baptized on Saturday. We are pretty excited. We have two chapels/bapt fonts lined up because our building might not be done with the renovation. The program is done and all will work out. We just need to keep them in our prayers. Sis. W. keeps bragging to the other missionaries about them and I just keep thinking, "they are close, but not there yet...." so...moral of the story, keep them in your prayers please! :) I'll let you know how that goes next week....

I have holes in my black shoes on the bottoms because of all the walking....I only have one little hole in the brown danskos though. I think the black shoes have a year warranty on them. They are Merrels that we got from Big 5 or something. If you want me to send them home, let me know.... I would like new shoes if they are free...if they aren't, I can wear them for a while longer....haha

Some random people gave us tomatoes and cukes from their 'garden' yesterday. We sang them a patroitic song that opened the door for us to talk to them about the book of mormon and what we are doing. There are many people who are dissatisfied with churches because of the hypocriticalness. I don't blame them. Shoot, we had a lesson on not judging, then in the next meeting there were people judging. The church is true, but we as humans are not. Their garden was pretty funny though. It was all of his plants in planter boxes jumbled together. That is how people garden here. I am so used to the straight rows and the order that it makes me laugh. I like Dad's garden the best.

Brother M. invited us to his neighbor's bbq yesterday so we went and hung out (it was still during pday hours so we hung out...haha). Sister M. and I were trying to get the neighbors to commit to taking the lessons. It was good. A. and B. are allowing their 12 year old son to take the lessons. He is already teaching in his age group when he comes to church. We are hoping the parents will follow. I also talked to the man whose house it was and said how grateful I was he let us come. I said, "maybe we'll have to come back sometime." and he was excited for that. He told us anytime....I don't think he realized he just allowed himself to be on our weekly try to visit list... He is really cool though. They all were/are. I was following sister M.'s example of being bold...We had fun with it.

I didn't get to sleep til after 11. Luckily I took a nap after exercise instead of showering.... haha. um.... We just plan forever and I am an A-B person...not an A-CD-B person so sometimes that frustrates me as well. We should only be planning for 30 minutes but it ends up taking forever because of the side things that don't matter. AHHH!!! there. Thanks for letting me vent. I should be good now.

We do work well together but I am thinking one of us will be transferred. It is really likely to happen... I don't know who will go, but at least the work has been rolling along here and whoever comes will just be so so happy...just saying.

So K. said she was going to send pictures but then she didn't. I was going to send pictures but forgot the cord....hmmmm...lame. I will send a picture of my shoes next week hopefully.

With the transfers on Monday now if I get moved (or am waiting for a comp) I guess once we are together again we email. So you will be one of the first to know where I am...whether here or somewhere else. (hopefully not the stinky place). We are the only sister english area that didnt' get moved around last time so it will be a surprise who gets moved. Craziness.

Oh, the dizziness is doing better for the most part. I refuse to take the dumb drugs now. I am sick of sleeping my life away. I do the exercises. They help a lot. I was really dizzy this morning though and last night for that matter. I am working on it.

well, I love you all and will talk to you at a later date! Thanks for your prayers! I appreciate them! Sorry I'm not emailing individually this week! I won't make promises for next week either.

Love,

Jackie
