OOOooookkkaaaayyyy!

This week, I have realized that it’s almost the end of the transfer… again. Had things been normal, we would have found out who’s going out bound yesterday… but since they’re not, and we’re finding out during transfer conference… well a lot of people are speculating and figuring t hat not a lot of people are leaving especially since only 2 or 3 are coming back from outbound (my trainer included) and fewer are coming from the MTC than are going home… I’m kinda sad because my zone leaders are going home, so sister Cox and I have been spending as much time with them as we can, which has been kinda crazy but fun at the same time.

Just some things that I forgot to mention last time, Thank you Grandma Maren for the card and check, I did get them! I’m not sure where I put the check just now, but… I’ll find it when I clean today. Sorry I didn’t mention it with the other email…

And mom and dad asked if we ever went on exchanges with the ward members here, and we don’t. There isn’t a single ward that we belong to that we could exchange with. We’re in our own ward, all us missionaries, etc… it’s kinda cool.

Umm…Oh, I was actually able to be with my companion for the majority of the week, rather than on exchanges, it was pretty cool. But yesterday one of the sisters in our district got sick, so she had to go on exchanges, and while we were on exchanges, she planned the district meeting, and usually she’ll tell me everything, but this one she wants to be a surprise for everyone. Even the Zone leaders… It will be exciting I’m sure : )

While we were on exchanges, I was in family search, and one of the senior sisters said, “I’m the Floor Monitor(or manager)” and her husband said, “Would a slight bow be sufficient?”And one of my zone leaders said, “no, you need to kneel on the floor!”So he got down on one knee in front of his wife and said, “oh omnipotent floor manager!” It was one of the times in Family Search that make me want to stay there next transfer…

And yes, I still enjoy being the District Leader’s companion, it’s a lot of fun, and I get to learn different sister’s teaching styles a bit better than I would otherwise. It’s really cool and helping me be more flexable.

Oh mom, I ran into Dwayne Webber, he’s a director of institutes and Seminary in northern Atlanta Georgia area, and so you’ll probably run into him in August for the big thing that’s going on.

And dad… I told the ‘Sick bird’ joke that you told me one day on the way to school to my companion and she laughed and thought it was horrible. She usually writes a corny joke to the mission president in her weekly letter, and she’s planning on putting that one in the letter this week. And if every one else wants to know what the sick bird joke is… ask dad, has something to do with sick eagles… or ill eagles. :P

And I got my 'I love you' asl pin that shows that I can do ASL, but I haven't drilled a hole in my tag yet to put it there... so... I have to wait until monday to wear it

Thank you all so much for writing me when you do, I'm sorry I don't have time to reply to individual letters/emails all the time, but I do love reading them, and I try to answer specific questions as much as possible, and if I forget one week I try to write it down so I remember the week after :)

LOVE YA'll!!!

Be happy n all that!
