May 25, 2015

Oh man, reading my mail sometimes is like a trip around the world.  Ashley North in Paris, Bria in Prague, Elizabeth Young in the States. All places so so . . .  fancy? Sometimes I laugh, because to me such this as a chocolate shop, or a car that talks to you seem so absurd. I realized the other day that we dont have a dishwasher.  Not that I didnt realize that before, but that when my mom said we got a new one.  I laughed.  There is a machine that cleans dishes for you. I am starting to realize that I may have a little bit of culture shock when I return. Also makes me laugh to imagine my parents here.  But hey, life is about having adventures, right. And reading the letters I realize that every mission is so so different.  The trials, the successes, the opurtunities to learn . . . all so so different.  All so so what we need.

After the high of last week, this week was like putting the car back in a lower gear, hard hard work, lots of walking.  Our investigator Fransisco did not get baptized this week, so we will now have to wait until his wound heals from his surgery . . . aka. another couple months.  But I learned from the experience, and that is all I can ask!

Today when we were studying the language my comp asked me to pray in ingles out loud.  And I have not done that in a very very long time.  I prayed, and it felt so good.  To talk to god out loud in my language, or the language of my heart. It felt familiar. I think that is how we feel in the temple too.  And when we see Crist again.  Like coming home. 

I love you guys so much!

Happy Wedding to mark and jess!
