Random, Funny, Interesting Things

Well,

My sister ended her mission. I love you, you know?

It's kind of like a countdown, the three of us coming home. It makes me kind of sick in the stomach...

Regardless, the week was well. We get to start teaching a few new people. We get to have lots of windy rainy weather that can never make up it's mind. Rain really hard, break up, sun. Wind comes in, rain, thunder, lightning, calm again. Rain, etc.
It makes life interesting though

We also got to go to the beach this pday. We went with some of the others from our district. Was quite fun. We found a jelly fish, and crabs and stuff....Not sure why I'm saying all this. Maybe babbling?

We also got to have a Mission leader council. Really good. There's a lot of new Sister Training Leaders and Zone leaders now. Old group is getting flushed out.

We also get a zone conference tomorrow. That should be great. 

We got to help out at a wedding reception this week at our church. Elder C. and I served some food, put stuff up and down, etc. It was nice.

You know what I was thinking about? How many random funny interesting thing happen to you on a mission. Like, knocking doors you get so many different responses everyday. You get a lot of the same, but you also get random. You get people who tell you what you believe, they're so certain that even when you try to convince them that you actually know what it is You believe, they won't hear it.
One of my favorite things is when you knock on the door and then they come out of a side door, or peak out an upstairs window. It's like a guessing game.

I also like when you’re talking to people on the street, and someone passes, and your just convinced you have to talk to them, so you turn around to talk to them, and you have to like follow them yelling: Pardon! Sorry! Can I ask you something?
And then they don't hear so you awkwardly follow with your arm out in front of you, trying not to look creepy. Normally your companion tries to look at the ground and follow a few paces behind because he's utterly embarrassed.   

I've definitely done both those things before. Once I followed a lady across a plein, or empty square, like this whole thing, calling out to her. There were all these people eating on outdoor tables on the side, that just stared at me the whole way across. Elder P. laughed so hard afterward.
 I never did get her attention. She went and caught a bus...

ya, 
the things you do in these two years are priceless. You can't miss it. Never really know what it's like till you try it :)

Tot volgende week!
