Hello, cuties.
Mom- I did get my suitcase! I opened it up, and I got a big ole whiff of home. After crying for 4 straight days, I think I can maybe open the suitcase again. Ha, JK. It did smell like home though. I even wore one of the sweaters in 80 degree weather just to be able to smell it all day long. Us Reddish's smell is delightful. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sending that to me. You're awesome. As far as people feeding us, we have someone else besides the Peralta's feed us like once a month. Obviously the Lima ward doesn't realize that I'm a party and a half, and can totally share a spiritual thought with them if they feed us. They have NO idea what they are missing out on. Am I right, or am I right? UP TOP! Thanks for the freshest gossip. I love it. Also, thanks for being the mother of all mothers and queen of all queens. I love you so much. Emily- It's okay to just admit that you peed your pants. Seriously, it happens to the best of us.😉 Bad days make you appreciate the good days, right? I hope your Monday was much better today :) That's cool about the kid in your art class. Emily, you are such a good girl. Like serious. I love you. Dad- Your email was hilarious. What I usually do is write the quotes in my journal each night, and then bring my journal to the library. I quite enjoyed your quotes. I played a game where I tried to guess what swear words you were bleeping out. Knowing the quotes were from Mom, the possibilities were endless. That woman has a mouth of a sailor. ;) Haha, I love you so much, Dad.
Quotes of the week:
1.) "I want to go to Hell. I'm going to be a missionary in Hell. Imma be a Hell missionary." -Tedd (86 year old investigator) Always a good day when your investigator tells you he wants to go to Hell. I didn't really know how to respond to it, so I just said "Wow, that's awesome". That, my friends, was probably not the right response. But honestly, what was? They don't train you for stuff like this in the MTC...
2.) "I hope in the eternities I play the trombone. Oh, also, I hope I get to sing." -Darrell Darrell then proceeded to sing us 3 hymns. Now, folks, this man had a pretty decent voice. Like I'd give him 4 stars. BUT, I have this problem that when I feel uncomfortable, I start laughing. So, guess what happened? I might have laughed while not smiling the whole 3 hymns. And yes, there might have been tears coming down my cheeks. And yes, Darrell probably thought his singing moved me to tears. And yes, my life is awkward.
3.) Margie: "Can one of you girls say a quick prayer? I need to use the restroom." Me: "Yeah, I can say a quick prayer!" Margie:"Just kidding, I got to go now. I'm taking medicine that makes me do this!" So there Margie ran. (Edit Edit Edit.....maybe when she turns 20 in a few weeks she'll grow up) It is a blessing I have a silent laugh. It truly is.
4.) "I'm going to get all my teeth pulled out because they hurt all the time. I think it's genetic because my mom was the same way." -Lisa I think bad dental hygiene is more of a choice than a gene; nonetheless, I thanks the heavens I don't have those genes. Back when I was young and foolish, I use to think people in Ohio didn't know what the purpose of a tooth brush is. Now that I'm older, I still think that. I have seen so many yucky mouths. So many. I'm literally starting to gag thinking about it, so that's all I have to say about this quote. The end. 😷
5.) "Yeah, I can be baptized on November 12th. What time?" -Seanquez (coolest, black investigator to ever happen) Um.. whatever time you want. We've met with Seanquez twice, he's come to church 3 times, and he's being baptized my birth week. I'm really, really excited! 😆 I knew that my black soul would come in handy on my mission. ;) I love seeing the way the gospel just makes sense to people. It makes sense to them because sharing the gospel is just reminding people of what they already know. This church is true. It really, really is. I'm so happy to be a missionary.
Well, that's it, I believe. I love you all of you tons. I have been blessed with the best family in the whole world. Have the best week ever. TTFN.
Love,
Sister Reddish
