Hello :)
I don't have much time to email this week, but thank you for all your emails. I loved reading about your week. I know, deep down, that none of you had fun this week because I wasn't there. You didn't have to say it. I could feel it. ;) Just kidding. But, for reals, I hope you all had a fun week together. I love all of you tons.
1.) "Excuse my language, but we really shouldn't be using words like: crap, freakin', fetch...anything that your mom would consider a 'garbage word' should not be used. If you want to sound like a high schooler with a name tag on, keep saying those slang words." -President Brown Well, crap. My whole fetchin' vocabulary is a high schooler's. JK. I'm taking President Brown's advice seriously. I'm a good missionary. BUT it's definitely taking some work. It's not even the words that he said that are the hard ones for me. I say "poop" as a swear word at least five times a day.I didn't really count this as a "slang word" because President Brown said nothing about the word poop, but I've decided that I will only be using the word poop if I have to tell Sister Young about one of my satisfying poops that are happening more and more regularly because my diet is stinkin' awesome right now. Just saying. ANYWAYS, I'm going to clean up my language.
2.) "The middle children are usually the ones with the mental illnesses. They're also the ones that are most forgotten. I feel really bad for you two." -Linda (investigator) After Linda said this, I gave it some serious thought. I feel like I'm pretty unforgettable. I mean, I'm pretty, funny, charming... I do however think she's correct on the mental illness part. I don't know what's wrong with me, but somethings off. Is being socially awkward a mental illness? When I get home, maybe Amanda could give me some sort of test. You can do that, right, Manda? Maybe Dr. Pippy could lend some help as well.
3.) "I'm Cheri, my husbands name is Lee, and this is our daughter Emily." -Cheri (Part-member family) Pardon? So, as you all know the weather has been real poopy (slang word but it's the only thing that really described the weather) these last few days. We decided to shovel a part member family's drive way for service. We were looking at the part member family list and someone's name was Lee so I was like "Hey, that's my dad's name! We should go there!" I didn't realize that going there was to cause me to cry because IT WAS BASICALLY LIKE TALKING TO MY FAMILY. I don't care if they want to learn the gospel or not, I HAVE to teach them. It's destiny.
4.) "Yeah, I'll consider keeping the Word of Wisdom, BUT after St. Patrick's Day." -Tim Doctrine and Covenants 89:7 "And, again, strong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies [unless it's St. Patrick's Day and you're Tim]." Good thing it's totally not against the Word of Wisdom for Tim to drink on St. Patrick's Day. Whew, I would be really sad if that wasn't the case. Just kidding, I am really sad because that isn't the case. Stupid, Satan. St. Patrick's Day is dumb, folks. It's just an excuse for people to get drunk. ALSO, who started the whole pinching thing? It's the worst holiday. I'm going to be in a bad mood that day. I'm already in a bad mood thinking about that day.
5.) "We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever." Joseph B. Wirthlin One of the greatest truths that we teach in the first lesson is that God is our loving Heavenly Father. I know He doesn't look at any of us at see all the bad that we've done. He looks at us and sees what we have the potential of becoming. No matter how stupid we are, He loves us and He's given us everything we will need to become better and change.
Well, Family, I love ya. Have a great week.
Love,
Sister Reddish
