Guess who's getting a little baby missionary? I just hung up with president and im training. Kinda want to die/ excited-ish!!
I cant believe how fast this transfer flew. I feel like i just got here! This week was kinda lame. It rained all week and because of the rain every single person cancelled. so that meant we were out in the rain ALL DAY LONG. But we had some really great things happen. We are working with the most amazing family. The parents were baptized a little over four months ago and we are teaching their beautiful 22 year old daughter who is my favorite person in the world. Her dad is a retired fire fighter and their house is filled with awards from his days of saving people. They are the coolest family. The thing is that firefighters and policemen are known for drinking themselves to death and the dad is no acception. I think he is dads age but he looks maybe 95 and has lung cancer from smoking and his liver is failing. He's been going through chemo but he started refusing treatments this week. He hasn't eaten anything solid in 30 days. We try to visit often and every time he is considerably worse. He really could die any day. we went over to their house one sunday because none of them came to church (he cant even really get up off the floor). We had fun talking and hearing stories about him telling about our families. After we shared a message and were about to leave the dad started to tell us about his health and thien i thought he was telling us about the time he got abducted by aliens but then I realized he was telling us about his chemo treatments. Then he asked us to slap his chest and rub his belly and pinch his legs to help with his circulation. His daughter was really embarassed and was like "no dad stop thats weird just let me do it" but then he said she couldnt because she didnt go to church hahah. so... i did it. slapped his chest rubbed his belly and pinched his little bony legs. Its funny to realize there is literally nothing i wouldnt do for people as a missionary. I had my one year anniversary as a missionary. It was great.
Im nervous to be a momma. I feel like i dont know anything about anything. pray for me.
I cant believe Ryans gonna be an Oxford boy.... I have no idea how im gonna one up that.
Oh i know. I ate kimchi for 18 months. WIN.
Well I dont have anything else to say. I CANT BELIEVE IM TRAINING! AH!
love you madly
