I’m so happy, your backpack is on its way!!! Elder Ashcroft’s mom contacted me on Facebook and told me to Amazon me anything you needed immediately. I didn’t want them to have to bring too much, so I sent her a new backpack. They left today from UT to pick Elder Ashcroft up. They will be in Cambodia on the 27th and will drop it off at the mission office for you. :)
Me, Taryn, and her friend Dakota had a fun time in Morro Bay and Santa Barbara. I found the city I want to retire to, it’s called Carpinteria. A small town in between Santa Barbara and Ventura. We spent two nights there and it was awesome.
Today we went to Aaron Clouse’s farewell. He leaves Wednesday for Tahiti. It was fun attending our old ward. I talked to Kim Buck, she said Ryan Told her that you two email every week, but won’t say much beyond that. Kim just loves you! It is weird for me that once you come home you’ll be “on the market”. Try to get that out of your mind...if it’s even on your mind. Give yourself plenty of time to figure things out. Ahhhh, I’m talking like you’re coming home next week, but this time is going to fly!!!
Did Sister Jennings lose weight, she looks great? I saw a picture of her on Facebook and she appeared slimmed down. I guess 6 months to sexy is a real thing. Lol
Well, I hope you have a great week, and I love you so much. What is the status of your credit card. You cancelled it right? You still have to call Wells Fargo and get it re-issued on your end, I cannot do it since you’re 18.
I’m about to email your companion, I hope things are going well with her. LOVE YOU!!!
Hi Mom
way sell Sister Ashcroft she is literally the best. its
super weird that elder ashcroft is dead already. He was an office elder when i
first got here. so crazy. and all of my high school friends are going home in
the next few weeks too. ive been emailing hansan and parker a little bit and
they are almost done. SO CRAZY.
I am also way excited for Aaron. He is going to love it
there.
Ya we still email almost every week. its only really about
the nursing program now because thats all he does and i am freaking out because
i dont know what i want to do with my life after the mission. i dont know if
nursing is what i should do anymore. maybe there is a reason i didnt make it
into the nursing program by .1 gpa or whatever. ive been doing personal
progress again and one of the things was to make goals for your future
eduaction and i did that this norning for personal study and i started freaking
out. ive always thought of audiology and speech therapy. bishop ellsworth told
me sister ellsworth did that. idk its something i might want to look into. and
i have to sign up for winter classes in the next few month ahhh idk what im
going to do mom. i do basicallycome home next week its going to go by so fast.
also try not to think about being trunky for boys because its a real
thing to be trunky about haha. did i tell you ethan hansen writes me every week
too? idk how i feel about ryan. dont tell kim but i used to really like him at
the beginning of my mission but the last month or two my feelings have subsided
a lot and now i feel nothing. idk if its the mission or me but i dont think he
is the one. i definitely want to hang out after the mission but i dont want to
lead him on. but we will have to see!
ya sister jennings has lost a lot of weight. shes been
working out way hard. i need to work out as hard as her. working out in your
bedrrom right after rolling off your bed is just a huge struggle.
i cancelled my card but haven ordered a new one. still need
to figure that out. ughhhhh. so yap (annoying).
ok i love you to death and miss you a ton. i hope you have
the best week mom!!!!
FROM DAD Hi Maile,
We went to Aaron Clouse's farewell today and then to the
Clouse's house for lunch. It was fun to see all our friends from the old
ward. The Del Fosses, Hawkins, Bucks, Sis Rabe, etc.
This week was pretty normal for me...work, sleep,
repeat. It's getting super hot. We had 4 days over 110 degrees this
week so we have officially started to hibernate for the summer. Mom was
gone with Taryn and her friend so I was home with Derek, Carson, and
Hannah. Well, Hannah is never home so it was basically me and the two
boys.
I'm about the make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I
will eat one for you and your comp. Tell your comp I said hi.
Here's a few funny pics and journals entries from my mission
that only you can relate to.
Pic 1 - Me scrubbing my clothes the night before Pday
Pic 2 - Me and my comp had to move apartments and this was
the moving van we found. Haha.
Pic 3 - My greenie Brazilian comp Elder Alves. This
was the day I left the area so he wasn't in his missionary outfit.
Pic 4 - Me and my comp in our apartment, Elder Da
Silva. I got transferred in the middle of the week on a non-transfer day
because he got in a fist fight with his comp. They told me he was
possessed with a demon and was going absolutely nuts. He was an emotional
guy but we got along. He actually ran away from me twice and I had to
walk back to the apartment a couple miles by myself. It was scary then
but hilarious now.
Pic 5 - Journal entry from 15 months
Pic 6 - Journal entry from 12 months
oh my gosh dad i have not laughed so hard at something in a
really long time. those pics and journal entries are priceless. it makes me
want to be better about writing in my journal. im literally the worst. i just
really like to talk a lot at night with the other sisters. I attached some
pictures of us doing service. i was incharge of spraying raid on all the red
fire ants when they came crawling out of their nests as we destroyed them. my
companion kind of reminds me of a little fluffy marshmallow munchkin. her voice
is also like 3 octaves higher then mine and so squeeky like a dog toy. so
funny. she also has been vomiting every day for the last two weeks and the
doctors dont know whats wrong with her. its super sad and frustrating because i
dont know what to do do help her because she vomits up everything she eats and
doesnt have enough strength to bike more than 10 minutes but she keeps saying
shes fine but shes not and its just a little alarming. but we will see how this
all works out. even if my cop could eat a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie, she
probably wouldnt because she doesnt like american food haha. she will only eat
burgers which is fine haha. she threw up the pizza we had at zone conference. I
LOVE YOU DAD!
