Hi, nuggets! I don't have much time to email, but luckily Mom is the only one who emailed so this should be easy ;) Mom- thank you for the cute letter this week. I love you so much. I wrote you a letter this morning, so be expecting that soon! Emily- I'm praying for you. Love you tons. Dad- You're a good dad. I love you.
1.) "I hope you girls like sauerkraut!" -Sandy (investigator) I don't like sauerkraut. I really don't like sauerkraut. When she asked me directly if I liked sauerkraut all awkward broke lose and all I said was "I've had sauerkraut before". She then gave me a look like "I didn't ask you if you had it before...". Anyways, I ate it, it was gross, and I lived. The end.
2.) "You don't even get to sleep in separate rooms? Doesn't that get annoying?" -Amy (recent convert) I don't realize how weird my life is until people start asking about the rules we follow....BUT if you were wondering, it doesn't get annoying. In fact, I can't sleep without someone in the room with me. When Sister Young gets up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, I lay in my bed terrified for 2 minutes.The bed bugs have added to that terror these past 2 weeks. I just lay really still in my bed and hope the bed bugs don't realize my blood is delicious while my partner is in the bathroom.
3.) "I have 11 bites on my arm, our toilet isn't working, and the library is closed. Perfect." -Me Let me just tell you how awful our Monday morning was: SO, we woke up at 6:30 AM ready to plan for the day. Sister Young had to pee real fast before we started. When she tried to flush the toilet, nothing happened.. NOTHING. We then didn't have a plunger, so we drove to Walmart, looking like literal crap, and bought a plunger. On the way there, my arm was really itchy. I figured the sweatshirt I was wearing was making my arm itch...UM NO IT WASN'T MY SWEATSHIRT IT WAS BED BUG BITES ALL OVER MY ARM. Good news: we have found where we are getting bed bug bites.. Bad news: we found out by having one crawl all over my arm during a lesson (hence the 11 bites all over my arm). Well, as most of you know, my bladder isn't the strongest, so the need to pee came on very quickly and very strongly. The library is just down the street from our apartment, I could use the bathroom at the library, right? NO, NOT RIGHT. IT'S FREAKING PRESIDENTS DAY. We ended up at Dunkin Donuts. I give their bathroom 10 out of 10. Excellent flushing abilities and clean. Thank you, Dunkin Donuts.AND all of this happened before it was 10 in the morning. That night a plumber came and snaked our toilet, and the next day an exterminator came and told us our apartment was bed bug free. All's well that ends well I guess... Whew...Man...I'm not even going to apologize for the negativity and the bad grammar. That morning sucked butt.
4.) "You can get glad in the same pants you got mad in." -Tim (less active) I don't know if any of you have noticed, but my last 3 emails have had quotes on being happy. Yes, this is most definitely because I have had to remind myself several times these past few weeks to be happy. I gave a talk in sacrament meeting last Sunday about choosing happiness (I didn't choose that, the topic was given to me). Choosing happiness isn't always easy, folks. But because of Jesus Christ, there is always, always, always something to be happy about.
I love you all. Have a great week.
Love,
Sister Reddish
