Busy Week

September 10, 2012

Mom-I can read emails really fast so feel free to write however long you want. :) That sounds cool about the talk. I will have to find it. If you want to send it to me though, that would be cool. :) We have to pay to print stuff and I am running out of change. Everyone wants my quarters! Printers, laundry, and carwash! Man!

I can't believe Annie started high school! I have been telling people down here that she started. :) They are all excited for her. And an ingrown toenail? Fanny! What are you doing to your poor toes! Follow your sister’s example and TAKE CARE OF YOUR FEET! haha! We are actually having an epidemic of ingrown toenails down here. Super gross. Seriously, doesn't get more sick than that.

So Brownsville is the most southern part of the continental US, I learned this week. Pretty cool right? We are RIGHT THERE. How funny. Our water smells like rotten eggs. The mosquitoes have some sort of crazy disease right now. Seriously, could I be any closer to Mexico. I LOVE IT!!!

My district leader’s name is Elder Cullen. I have a list of Twilight jokes I am going to give him when he gets transferred. You know, gotta stay focused. We also have Elder Dungan from Michigan that goes home soon, Elder Martinez who came out with me, Elder Graff from St. George and thinks I am just the sassiest person ever, Sister Greenman who eats chocolate milkshakes with me, Sister Monson who is not related to the prophet, and Sister Pena, who is my companion. We have a lot of fun together!

The work is going great! We are staying focused on our goals and reaching them! This week I have learned that instead of the Lord shaping our trials to something we can handle, he shapes us to handle the trials He is going to give us. It makes more sense because we don't govern our trials. The way we handle our trials is by shaping ourselves. Cool right?

I love you all but we are on a tight schedule today. We have to go to Edinburg. :) Love you all!!!
