"Pink Washing" Brownsville

August 27, 2012

Apparently I am pink-washing, not white-washing. Whatever. People need to stop coming up with new mission terms. It's throwing me off.

So this week has been one of the most interesting weeks of my mission. Taking over an area has its challenges but all in all I feel like we are pretty on top of it. It cracks me up to realize, once again, how nerdy I am. Wow! We have so many lists now and maps and areas and everything is just so organized. Yup. I'm a nerd, what can I say. But it is good.

My new area is called Resaca Point. Five points to whoever emails me first and tells me what a resaca is. My area is pretty big and yes, we have a car. We came into the area with no investigators so we have been working our legs off trying to find. We have 2 investigators right now and hopefully another family that we are having dinner with this week. The bad thing is that we don't have records of a lot of the people in this area. The good thing is that the missionaries before had good relationships with people so even if we don't have record of people, they still seem to know us. :) It is interesting.

I wish I had more to write about but this week - really has just been getting lost and exploring and visiting members and less actives and knocking. We are working hard though and we are just tired at night so we sleep fast. But Sister P's bed squeaks so I wake up. Such is the life of a missionary.

Last night I had the desire to make tortillas but I put augar and cinnamon in them too so they were sweet. Then we and Sister G ate them with chocolate ice cream. That has probably been my favorite part of the week so far. :)

Apparently our zone gets together every week so today we are playing volleyball. I get to see Sister H which I am super excited about! Love her!

Sorry this email isn't the best email in the world. We have had a crazy day yet again and we have to go eat lunch before our zone activity. I love you all and yes mom, I will write you a letter in Spanish and I bet you will be able to tell a difference in my grammar. :) Hopefully!
