Mom- Before I say anything else.. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sending me those yummy cookies and creme Hershy bars. I don't know what it was that Thursday afternoon, but nothing had ever tasted so good. I had 3...and then complained about getting fat...and then had 1 more. I'm sorry you were sick this week. I hope you got plenty of rest...but deep down I know you still vacuumed the whole house once a day, and did every "mom duty" you possibly could until 9:30 every night. You are the best, Mom. Thanks for everything you do for me. I love you more than I could ever express. Dad- I know I'm not supposed to say anything, but Mom can edit this out of my email.... WHAT THE EVEN HECK? YOU'RE GONNA BE A BISHOP? Bishop Reddish round 2. You're going to be the best YSA bishop ever. No doubt. Congrats on the buck. That's awesome. I'm proud of you for figuring out how to send pictures on emails. It's fun seeing your face...and it's a little less fun seeing the picture of the lifeless deer ;) I love you more than anything on the Taco Bell menu, Dad. Emily- I did get your letter this week! Thank you, thank you, little cutie. I loved it! I will write you back soon, okay? Haha, I think it's hilarious you wanted a Hilary Weeks t-shirt. You should've got Dad one for his birthday. You and I both know that he LOVES Hilary Weeks. Also, there's a Mexican little girl in the Lima ward named Emily. I want to snoopy cry every time I see her. Love you, Ems. :)
Quotes of the week:
1.) "I don't know what you girls' stance is on politics right now, but Hillary Clinton is going to destroy this country." -Everyone in Ohio I am so sick of hearing about the elections, folks. I literally give 0 poops about Trump and Hillary. If you were wondering, everyone in the Lima east area also gives 0 poops about Hillary. Word on the street is that she's a real skeeze. I guess you can't believe everything you hear. It also doesn't help that everyone here is Republican. I do know one thing, though; I will be one happy camper when November 8 is over.
2.) "The purpose I wanted to take you two out to dinner is so I can ask you to marry me." -Tedd What do two 19 year old girls even say when an 86 year old man proposes to them? "Ha..ha..no thanks." Was the dinner awkward? Yes. But was it free? Yes. As far as i'm concerned, my whole life is awkward, but not every meal is free. Tedd's dinner was a definite win.
3.) "These are 3 of my grand-kids. Aren't they cute?" -Margie Ya know, when I first saw them, Margie's grand-kids were pretty cute. But the cuteness level went down 10 whole notches when the 7 year old girl started crawling towards me in the creepiest way possible. Seriously, I pooped my pants a little. It brought back flashbacks of playing monster with Emily/every PG-13 scary movie ever, and I wanted to curl up and start crying. So, ya know what, Margie? Your grand-kids aren't cute. They are very un-cute.
4.) *knocks on table* "Hi, Eve, it's Satan. Here's a game changer, sissy!" -Sister Rutledge Sister Rutledge taught gospel principles this week. I'm going to be honest, I was a little nervous seeing her at the front of the classroom when I walked in. We had 3 investigators at church on Sunday, and I just prayed she wasn't going to say anything crazy because usually everything that comes out of her mouth has a smidgen of crazy. BUT she ended up giving the best lesson on the fall of Adam and Eve ever. She basically acted out the fall, and played the parts of Adam, Eve, Satan, and Heavenly Father. I think I'm going to call President Brown and request for Sister Rutlegde to be my new companion next transfer. I hope and pray I someday get to see her act out the Restoration.
5.)"Every day that you and I choose to live celestial laws, every day that we keep our covenants and help others to do the same, joy will be ours." -Russell M. Nelson These past few weeks on my mission, I've been really focusing on having joy. Now, obviously, I'm not what people would consider "joyful" all the time, but I'll tell you what, life is far better when you are joyfully living it. I'm am so grateful for the gospel that seems to make the very hardest of times joyful.
Well, that's all I got for ya. This life of mine is a great one. I love each of you so, so much. Have the best weeks ever!! :)
Love,
