Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?
Mom- I am going to answer ALL of your questions this week. Here we go: Yes, I will be picking up my little trainee tomorrow morning at Kirtland. It's a 4 hour drive, so I'll be driving a total of 8 hours tomorrow. Hip hip hooray, am I right? I have not been able to get a GPS yet, but I am going to Wal-Mart in a couple hours. I'm feeling saucy. Always saucy. Right now all I think all I need is for you to come to Ohio and make me a PB&J ;) For reals though, you make the best PB&J's. The "treat yo self" day sounded like a party. I'm so down for having one of those everyday when I get home. I love you, Mom! You're the best of the best. Dad- I really appreciated the first of your email. Thank you muchly. I also appreciated your pun about Amanda. Such a punny man you are. Dad, I hope you know I talk about you a lot. Every time I make a poop joke, I just think about how proud you would be of me. You're so cool. Sister Jenkins can't wait to meet you and Mom. Thanks for being my dad. I love you. Emily- SISTER PERALTA SHOWED ME THE PICTURE MOM POSTED ON FACEBOOK AND YOU ARE SO CUTE. Seriously, you're a stunner and a half. LOVED your first day of school outfit. If boys try to talk to you, literally don't even look at them. They're bad news. and you are TOO pretty for any of them. Good luck on cross country, You're awesome. Love you, Emmy! :)
Quotes of the week:
1.) "Don't make her laugh, she'll pee her pants again" -Sister Sorensen (STL) Ya know, I always kind of wanted to be a "big deal" in the mission. Someone everyone knew. Well, I don't mean to brag, but at least half the mission knows that I pee my pants if I laugh too hard. Just call me Sister Cool. I'll be signing Preach My Gospels in the hallway.
2.) "When you turn 70, I'll tell you what, it's like being on a Olympic adventure." -Sister Rutlidge (member) Speaking of laughing... Alright, my sense of humor has gone down the drain since being on a mission, but seriously when this woman said this to all of the Lima Ward missionaries, I couldn't stop laughing. Like tears rolling down my face. The hard part is that I didn't want her to know that I was laughing at her, so I just sat there silently shaking while tears rolled down my face. I seriously can't catch a break with awkward moments.
3.) "Because of Him, everything in this life is good." -Sister Woodruff (member) A ward member said this little golden nugget during Relief Society this week. There is truly something good in everything because of Jesus Christ--even the bad or scary stuff. There are no words for how much I love Him.
4.) "Sisters, take a look at my port-fo-li-o." -Sister Halle (Sister Peralta's momma) Once again, my sense of humor is weird now, but in my mind, this quote is comedy gold. She said portfolio a little like the elder on "The Best Two Years" says "the gro-cer-y store". I don't know, maybe I'm just lame and all of you are staring at your computer screens with straight faces, but I thought it was funny. Sister Jenkins reminds me on a daily basis that my sense of humor is like a "40 year old mom". Again, just call me Sister Cool.
5.) "He lives to comfort me when faint. He lives to hear my soul's complaint. He lives to silence all my fears. He lives to wipe away my tears. He lives to calm my troubled heart. He lives all blessings to impart." Honestly, I don't really need to add anything to this quote, but I know that it's true, and it meant a whole lot to me this week.
Well, that's all I got today. Next time I email, I'm going to be a mom. Crazy beans. I love all of you so much. Thanks for every thing you do for me. It's crazy how much I have felt your prayers this week. I love being a missionary, and I am excited to see what adventures lie ahead. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the best. See you guys on the flippity flop.
Love,
Sister Reddish
