"What are you guys even doing here?"

Hello! :)

Wow, this week sounded like a fun week for all of you. Mom- Sister Peralta is taking pictures of us all the time. I'm happy you're appreciating all the pictures. This way, you can gradually see me getting more and more chubby and wearing less and less make up. Ha, I wish I was kidding. ;) I'm doing pretty good with all my clothes and shoes. Transfers should be in about 3 weeks, and Sister Jenkins and I are hoping we have one more transfer, but honestly, I'm not sure what is going to happen. This life is crazy nut balls. I love you, Mom. Thanks again for everything you do. Emily-Well done, kid. Edit, edit, edit Also, McCall sent me some pictures of the reunion; Emily, you are getting so tall. Such a tall, beautiful, Mexican lady. Love you so much, Ems! Dad- I totally get ya with the Fiber One bars. Those do wonders to my tummy.  I hope you found some time to photobomb all those Asians in Yellowstone. I know how good you are at that. I love you, Dad!

Quotes of the week: 

1.) "I believe that Jesus Christ came to earth and that He is my Savior and you guys don't believe that, so goodbye." -Butthead MaGee. Ummmm, excuse me sir, but I literally just told you that we're missionaries from the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints. We believe in Jesus Christ, I promise. After he shut the door, I pretended to kick his house. I probably looked kind of weird, but I was mad at him. A good pretend kick never hurt anybody. Guys, I know Jesus Christ died for all of us, and that this is His church. I may not have been able to tell Butthead MaGee that, but I can tell you guys.   
2.) "Aaaaaallelujah... Whenn... the... moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie.." -Sister Jenkins. I'm not only spreading the gospel to my friends in Ohio, I am also spreading the good word of John Daker. Folks, you need to watch that video for me this week. I didn't realize how much I loved it until I didn't have it. John Daker is queen.   

3.) "I like you two girls. You give me hope for America's future!" -Jerry (new investigator) This quote may not seem very awkward, but he said it in front of his 19 year old daughter who is pregnant with her second baby...and then looked at her in disappointment. Yikes. I'll tell ya what, my whole life is one big awkward mess. I thought this mission was going to help me become less awkward, but it's just going down hill. Heaven help me. 

4.) "Sister Reddish, will you give the discussion this next district meeting? No pressure, but President and Sister Brown are going to be there, so make it pretty good" -Elder Russell. Well, lucky for you, Elder Russell, my middle name is "Make it pretty good". Just kidding, I'm really nervous. President Brown is the scariest man on this earth. I just want to impress him so bad, but every time I see him, I poop my pants. Wednesday should be interesting...

5.) "Hey there girlies" *Smacks my butt* -Betty (One of the Elder's investigators) Woo-hoo-hoo, Betty. I guess that one time we sat next to each other in Relief Society really paid off, because obviously we're pretty good friends. Was not expecting that one. Again, my life is a downward spiral of awkward. Haha, so embarrassing. 

6.) "Umm...I'm less active. Like really less active. What are you guys even doing here?" -Brother Thornock (less active...obvi) Hmmm, I don't know why we're here, Brother Thornock.. MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE LESS ACTIVE. So, just FYI, we have about 40 members in our area, and about 30 of those are less actives. Of those 30, about 28 of those hate us. Haha, I've never been hated so much. Why do I love my life right now? Seriously, I can't figure it out.

Well, that's all I got for you. I can't tell if my emails need to be less goofy, and more spiritual, but I promise all of you that my testimony is growing every day. I know that that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is true and that it's Christ's church restored on the earth today. I know that the Book of Mormon is true. Seriously, that's the greatest book ever. I love reading it. I know that we get to be as a family forever and ever. That is the greatest blessing. I love all of you so much. Peace out, homies. 

Love, 

Sister Reddish
