HELLLLLOOOO!!!
Dad- Man, it was weird reading your email first. Just didn't seem right. I'm not really "hip with the kids" anymore, but the emoticons seemed accurate if you were meaning to be laughing... get with the times, ya old man😉 I love you, Dad. I promise to stick around a little while when I get home :) Mom- thank you so much for sending me that life sketch of Ida Elizabeth. I loved reading it. To answer some of your questions: Sister Peralta is literally the only person who feeds us in the Lima Ward. Come on, people. I'm a hungry girl. AND no new investigators, but some more potentials. Things are looking up again. Mom, you're the best. I love you. Thanks for being the best "missionary mom" ever. Emily- I'm sorry you got so sick from running, but I am so excited you decided to run cross country! You are going to love it. Don't turn into a "troublemaker". Flandro doesn't like those. ;) I love you, Emily!!
1.) "Could I maybe do studies on the couch today...?" -Me I kind of got a little sick this week. Not bad... I just kind of pooped out everything that was inside of me. I'll tell you what, I do not like just sitting around anymore. I was only laying down for 3 hours tops, and I couldn't even handle it. I'd rather poop my pants tracting then be inside all day.
2.) "If the Book of Mormon isn't true then you two are awfully good deceivers." -Cloyce Cloyce is my favorite Ohio-an. I don't know if I've ever described Cloycey before, but he's 82 years old and is literally the cutest old man on this whole planet. He's going to be (hopefully) baptized on September 24. And guess what? He believes the Book of Mormon is true. Who doesn't, am I right? Seriously though, that book is the best. I love it.
3.) "Happy 3 month mark, Sister Reddish!!" -Sister Jenkins Three months.. how is that even possible? Didn't you guys just drop me off at the MTC like 2 days ago? Time is flying.
4.) "Wow, I haven't seen skirts that long in a really long time!" -Karen (Potential investigator for missionaries that aren't me or Sister Jenkins) Alright, folks, there's a long explanation for this one. So, we were tracting the other day (story of my life), and there was this creepy trailer that we decided to steer clear of. Well, we had to walk past it again to get back to our car and that's when Karen (woman who owned the creepy trailer) commented on our skirts. Believe it or not, most people don't usually want to start conversations with us, so obviously we were pretty happy when she started talking to us. She invited us in and introduced us to her daughter, Janet. JANET HAD A BEARD, GUYS. A BEARD. They then started talking to us about how their trailer was haunted by a Yankee soldier. We bounced out. Not ever going back there. "NOT TAH-DAY!!"
5.) "Sister Reddish, we have a new calling for you in the mission. You've had a really good trainer, and now we want you to be responsible to train a new missionary." -President Brown You know what's scary? When President Brown calls you. You know what's scarier? When he asks you to take it off speaker so he can "just talk to Sister Reddish". So, I guess I'm going to be a trainer? It's going to be hard to train a missionary when I feel like I still need to be trained, but I guess Heavenly Father knows I can do it. Heaven help my little trainee. This is going to be the blind leading the blind...can't tell if I'm excited or terrified..
Well, I hope you guys know that I love the gospel. So much. I also love being on a mission. I'm a pretty lucky girl. I hope you guys have the best week ever, and I'll try to do the same. I love all of you tons and tons.
Love,
Sister Reddish
