Hiiiiii, family.
Mom- Yes, I still get to go to the temple on my birthday, but we got permission to email today! Woohoo! I did get your package...and I got your letter that said "do not open any of the presents until November 9th" a few days later... SO, I might have opened 1 of the presents. Just one of them though. I promise. All I have to say about that one present is.. THANK THE HEAVENS DAVID ARCHULETA WAS BORN, and thank you Emily for the awesome CD. Also, Mom, thank you for being the best mom ever. I honestly can't even type out how thankful I am for you. You are an angel on earth. I love you so much. Emily- Happy birthday, cutiecutiecutie. I can't even believe you are 15. It feels like only yesterday me and Manda were watching Mom change your diapers excited to see what color your poop was going to be. I hope all your wildest dreams come true this year. I'm writing you a letter today, so be expecting that soon. I love you, Emily. Bishop Reddish- Happy, happy birthday to the best dad in the whole world. What're you now? 91? ;) I haven't heard much about the world series...I actually have no idea what happened.. Haha, did Cleveland lose? Dad, I thought a lot about you this week. You are going to be amazing in your new calling. Thanks for being the best example and the best dad on the planet. I love you so much.
1.) We're usually home...except for those times that we're not home." -Bill (non-member BUT his wife is a member) Wow, thanks, Bill. That makes it incredibly easy to make an appointment to come back. At first I thought he was joking, but I don't think he was. That was all that was said about a return appointment. So, I guess we're usually not going to be at the Fowler's home...except for those times that we are at the Fowler's home. Logic.
2.) Elder Ellsworth: "Sister Reddish, have you gone to the bathroom yet?" Me:"No, not yet" Elder Ellsworth: "Good luck." Alright, so, as you all know, I did the "blazin' challenge" at b-dubs this week. Folks, that was the worst decision that I have made in a very, very long time. I was sweating, crying, and burning my mouth all at the same time. Do you remember when I talked about that fruit cocktail bread crap, and I said they probably ate it in Hell? I was so, so very wrong. The "blazin challenge" is Satan's fav meal probs. I know Mom is probably going to edit this out of the email, but holy moly did it hurt to poop out. I'm pretty sure I burned my butthole. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a few blisters down there. I almost called the mission nurse, but Sister Green wouldn't let me. She obviously didn't realize the pain I suffered in the bathroom.
3.) "Hey, Butch! Butchy! Don't go to the front yard! You'll make an excellent snack for the German Shepard next door!" -Sister Ruttledge Butch is Sister Rutledge's new 3 pound little puppy. I give that thing 3 weeks to live. No joke. While I was there it almost got electrocuted 3 times, was almost that German Shepard's afternoon snack 2 times, and Sister Rutledge fed the thing half of a chicken sandwich from "Happy Daz". Heaven bless Butchy.
4.) "Oh *beep*, I just realized that this time next week we're going to know if our country is going to be ran by a liar or an idiot." -Margie My #1 struggle in life right now: not laughing when people swear. People here in Ohio are excellent at adding in a few choice four letter words every few sentences. I know I shouldn't laugh, but that *beep* doesn't get old. I love the people I get to serve. Love, love, LOVE them.
5.) "Just think of it: you are known and remembered by the most majestic, powerful, and glorious being in the universe. You are loved by the king infinite space and everlasting time." -President Uchtdorf I'm not trying to sound like a pansy or like my life is really hard, but this week was pretty rough for me. Seanquez's family and the dang devil talked him out of baptism on the 12th, and at least 60% of our appointments fell through. In the midst of this awful-ness, I read this quote on lds.org. I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who has promised that He "will not leave us comfortless". I have felt His love for me this week. I know He feels the same way about every one of us. How thankful I am that bad weeks come to an end, and that His love has no end.
I love all of you. Have the best day, Dad and Emily. Words can not express how happy I am that you two were born. I'll talk 2 u, l8r.
Love,
Sister Reddish
