HI GUYS! HOW ARE YOU ALL DOING? I LOVE WRITING IN ALL CAPS SOOO MUCH!
SOOO- funny story! Right when I got into the ward all the members were giving me these compliments like, "Wow we love your hair, we've never seen that color before, very unique." Or "wow, grey hair? cute!" At first I thought they were just playing around with me but NOOOOOOO MY HAIR WAS LEGIT GREY! and it wasn't the kind of grey you get when you're old or stressed or just weird. It was only grey where my hair was really really blonde.... sooo you know me, I get to the bottom of things.... I love hacking, getting every last detail of everything. conversations, life hacks, you name it and I want to know!
Long story short... I can't figure out how to work our shower so I basically get cooked every morning because it's so hot and I don't want to ask my companion because she already thinks I'm special. So when you have really really hot water mixed with this purple shampoo I'm using= PURPLE HAIR! Like when you wash a load of garments with a purple towel= purple garments.... don't worry I threw that shampoo away and bought white shampoo so my hair is back on game and ready to ROLL! ohh man I was thinking of throwing up a law suit or something but couldn't find the time to do it....
Oh my goodness but can I just tell you how much I love PEOPLE!!! I LOVE PEOPLE SO MUCH! on a scale from 1-10 I WOULD SAY ONE THOUSAND MILLION TRILLION FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTEEN- THATS HOW MUCH! I JUST LOVE HUMANS! THEY ARE SOOO WONDERFUL!
We have this lady Marta. She is just a little gummy bear. Oh my heck I love her so so so much! She also reminds me of a witch from hocus pocus. She has a granddaughter Elsie who is like my best friend! She's 12 and just ya know eats cheetos right and left. We taught them for like 2 weeks and she was so ready for baptism. She came to Christians and LOVED IT! Then last week she dropped us. She handed us the BOM and she's like I don't want this. Take it back. I found the truth. (like I said in past emails, Jehovah Witnesses are following us so I'm pretty sure they taught her) But I just kind of shoved in down into her couch cushion cause what's better support than the Book of Mormon? And Eslie was like yelling at her grandma, "Grandma no no don't do this! We want this." (seriously saddest moment on my mission) It could have been a way sad mormon movie. We gave her a break but we felt like we shouldn't give up on her. SHE'S DARLING! So last night we had an investigator devotional that President Hall was speaking at and you can only go if you have an investigator to go with. So of course everyone bails on us. Roxanne had work, Eric thinks he's sick (clearly not), Anduray was drunk, Anna thinks you need to wash your clothes on Sunday nights, Christina who knows! We say a prayer that we just need ONE PERSON TO COME! It was already 6:40 last night and right after the prayer we are like LETS JUST GO TRY MARTA! We knock on her door and invite her to the meeting. We are like "it sorta starts like in 20 minutes, can you go right now?" And she goes and gets on her lick stick and we go!!!! In the meeting all these recent converts are giving testimonies and then Marta stands up and starts walking to the pulpit. I almost peed my pants I was so scared! so I jump up after her and herd the small gummy bear to sit down on the first pew. She leans over and she's like, "Do you want to go up there with me or should i just go alone." I explain that our President is going to speak and that she could share her testimony after she gets baptized.
After the meeting our President talks to her and she's like, "these missionaries are my angels but look sir I don't want to be baptized till my birthday when i can "die" and come up a new person." COOLEST PRESIDENT HALL steps in and is like "well how about you look at is this way. Why don't you get baptized and on your birthday go do baptisms for your family in the temple." (she loves baptisms for the dead so she was crying and just so happy!) PRAY FOR THE CUTE LITTLE GUMMY BEAR PLEASE! she's so darling! and she smells like old cupboards. I love it!!!
She always tells me she's trying to lose weight and we come over and she's like "WANNA DONUT?" I look in the box where there should be 24. I'm like "hmmmmm they are all gone!" She's like "Dang it, I did it again girls!"
haha ohhh Marta..
