So this week has been interesting for sure. We (my companion and roommates) are all exhausted and are so tired when we get into bed that we start laughing at random things. Let me tell ya, some of the conversations we have at night are weird as heck! I can't remember what started the conversation the other night, I think we started talking about messing with our teachers by wearing funny socks (only solid color socks are allowed which is a little annoying sometimes) but we got a little overboard and started laughing hysterically at our ideas and poor sister macbeth started sneezing and laughing and couldn't stop. Long story short. She sneezed out her retainer and couldn't find it which sent us into another bout of laughing. We didn't get much sleep that night.
The food here sucks, the food in the vending machine tastes better.
Sister Macbeth had the brilliant idea to get "abs" while we are here because we have to workout. Pretty sure everyone hates her now that it's been four days since we got the exercise time. I can't even sit up in bed by myself now so that should tell you how out of shape I am.
One of the elders was bragging how if he wants to leave to go get McDonalds or go to Walmart he's just going to leave. The other elders were getting a little upset and he thought it was funny and kept pushing it and said that no one could stop him because he was an adult. I looked at him and told him he was really showing his true devotion for being here to Christ right now. He was embarrassed and apologized. So that was good. I probably should have been nicer but it was a little obnoxious and not really appropriate.
So when I first got here I was really excited to just be done and actually get to my mission. Well, we had to do role play in class and I suddenly realized that 3 weeks is not enough! I need more training! We have a non member investigator named Kersee. We taught her the first lesson on Monday and it actually went pretty well. It better have because Sister Paas and I spent about 5 hours on it! We realized we need to be able to plan a lesson in an hour or less.
Elder Martin is the funny one, Elder Sweetnum is a teddy bear and so sweet, Elder Lloyd always has something to say, Elder Allen and I talk about horses all the time but he's really insightful, Elder Davis knows the scriptures really well, Elder Kirkham is quiet but nice, Elder Neu is our district leader and everyone loves him because he's amazing, Elder English is always making sure everyone has what they need and that's all the elders in our district. It's awesome because the elders are so nice to the sisters and we all are really close. No one makes fun, but we all are supportive.
I have other funny stories but I hate long emails and this is already too long. Later!
Sister Creager
