Im Alive! Barely.
Can I just tell you all how tired i am? Let me put it this way. as we were sitting there on the couch finishing companionship study i thought to myself. i am so tired i would literally sleep all day and skip emailing and everything if i could. thats how tired. fortunately for all of you i am still emailing :)
So this week was.... drum roll.... AMAZING!!!
Me and sister Powell got 72 lessons. 72. thats a miracle. we beat the last record set. or so we thought until after we reported numbers last night and found out that the menlo park elders got 77 the week before. alas looks like i am going to have to beat them too! in like a month when i am awake again. haha so getting 72 lessons was a blast. I was able to see my perspective on missionary work change. The numbers turned into people and stories. it was a lot of fun to see the love that heavenly father has for each of his children no matter their background. I was also able to see that if you are willing to sacrifice an have faith God will help you. To get 72 lesson without going on splits we were going to have to work hard. really hard. and not take lunches. now i really like lunch. its a great time to eat and sleep. but my sleeping part was going to have to stop if we were to reach our goal. (dont worry we still ate haha) but man as we got going we trusted heavenly father that he would help us get to our goal and he did! Sure by the end i wanted to die but its cool. haha It was also my comps last week on her mission so it was good to keep her focused. and also i made her tell everyone that she was leaving because she has been in denile for a while. shes a great missionary! Anywho so this week was a blast! It was also the outgoing fireside last night so i got to see some of my favorite people! Now on to pictures!
love you all! this church is true!

Who is ready for a very uneventful email!?!? I am! haha Sorry this week was rather boring. haha
So on to the week!
Monday- pday- we were supposed to go bowling, but then they switched it half was through to field day. too bad i was in skinny jeans in flats. so i just sat and absorbed the sun. and wrote a letter. it was actually pretty nice.
Tuesday- Oh! we had interviews with President Mella. It was good. He was funny, he was like, now you are coming up to the end of your mission so make sure you keep working hard. dont let obedience slip, stay focused, things at home can wait. And then he was like, but for your outoging interview it will be a lot of fun because we get to talk about one of my favorite things which is life after the mission. Wow president. way to get me pumped up to work hard to then make me trunky. haha He is funny.
Wednesday-Oh we have a stocker. She might be scizoprhenic. she calls herself 2 dfferent names depending on who she is talking to. the good news is she only has our phone number. plus the elders are meeting with her tomorrow so we shall see how this goes. maybe she is normal! haha
Thursday0 We soaw kim, she is awesome. She is getting baptized on saturday! we are so excited.
Friday- yep. haha so we had an appointment with an investigator and she texted us early and told us she might have to work, but she would let us know. then she never texted. so we texted her and no response. so we headed out and there she was walking by our apartments. not at work. and not at our appointment. so we followed her in our car. we are not stockers or creepy at all!! haha but she is quite good at loosing a tail becaue she dissappeared on us. hmmm well guess we will find out more about her! haha
Saturday- it was a good day. we did a service that was a good workout so that was fun. haha
Sunday- it was long. haha
So that was my week! it was actually a really good week, just kind of wierd! But thats the life of a missionary! hope you all have a great week!
