CONGRATS ZACH!!! So cool about the mission! I will have to
start sending him advice too. It seems like writing letters gets harder and
harder but when I get to talk about mission advice, it is a cinch!
I will be completely honest. I have never been trunky on my
mission until I read your e-mail mom! Gosh! Why do you have to get me all
excited about the people you talk to! Gol! I hope you got their info though
because I will absolutely be talking to them when I get home! ;) (Kate’s Mom –
“Sorry Kate”. I talked with some of Kate’s work associates who asked what
Kate’s plans are when she returns home.)
Good news: my trunkiness is now gone.
This week was a great week. Also, probably the most draining
week of my whole mission. Yesterday we went over to visit a family and their
16-year old was like “Sister Giles are you okay? You look like you have been
crying.” So I went to the mirror to fix my mascara. Funny part of this story,
it wasn't mascara, I just had circles that dark under my eyes. HA! Long week!
Another reason why yesterday was long was because we have a
permigator in our area that up and decided to get baptzed yesterday, but he was
terrified so we spent 4 hours of church talking him through it. In the end, he
didn't go through with it because he decided he wanted his family there.
So...he will be getting baptized next week along with our other fun friend!
Should prove to be an exciting week! Then we visited the little guy and he is
having a rough time. He didn't come to church yesterday. He kind of wants to
run away, AND he currently dislikes his family. Fun stuff right! So then we
talked to him for a good hour and a half. O man. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!
But really though, I love being a missionary so much! Even
though the water stinks and I have about 764 mosquito bites on my legs, I love
every single second of being a missionary! We had zone conferences this week
where we talked more about the Book of Mormon and how great it is. We had a
mock trial of the three witnesses and it was SO POWERFUL! I just love President
Trayner and the way he teaches! So great! And next time when we have zone
conference, we are actually having a visiting general authority for a mission
tour so we are all going to McAllen .
The whole mission has never been together at the same time since the Trayners
have been here so that should be exciting! I'm thinking it is going to be a
cool experience. Sister Trayner is hiring a photographer so that she can get a
picture with everyone. Also, I told Sister Trayner you look at the blog so she
said she would put more pictures of me. She said she always puts more pictures
of the missionaries that she knows their parents look at it. haha.
Anyway, we have to go now. Gotta go to the store. I guess I
need to eat or something like that. :)
Kate
P.S. Mom-you should just tell them I will work for them when
I get back. :)
