15th Letter

Dear Humans,

I labeled this email humans because as a missionary i feel like we're not quite human! so much has happened this week, ive laughed, ive cried, and ive sweated... ;) So last pday we went to target! which is simply amazing! we dont go there much because its so far away but we got permission to go! hallah! we had a lesson at a members home, and we were helping teach a little 12 yr old boy named lapadre! so sweet! but the member who was teaching was going into deeep doctrine with the bible. and i was lost in the lesson, i felt really bad for lapadre. i could answer some of the questions the member asked! i realized even more so how important questions are! not just questions but really good questions that get you thinking and finding answers for your self!  then we found out one of our gators, Keonna is reading BoM! her husband Andrew who just had surgery on his jaw and his mouth is wired shut :( poor thing, they are soo awesome! they live with Miss Rosia! so we want to help them somehow but we couldn't figure it out, then ding! it came to us! smoothies... andrew agreed to learn more and we said we could make a smoothie while we do it! smoothie lessons! BEST EVER!! i love smoothies soo flippen much, its a drug now. i should ween off of them... but i cant! HAHAH sister Garten is all well now and we're going out exploding with awesomeness!! we're still working out the kinks of things but we're teaching better and better!! also we're getting closer! we are so much a like, she didn't like school, she moved around from friends, she and i are the same in personality wise! the only difference is i am more of a touchy person then she is. haha ok so during lessons i'm not sure why but i like to sit really close to my companions! just physical contact helps me feel safer and confident  i think, but sis G didn't know this at first! haha she just thought i wanted more room hahaha but now she gets it. she isn't really touchy but she doesn't mind it with me! ah i love her soo much! i think the reason we're companions is to just realize that i'm not alone, and she isn't alone in this world! there are other people who have the same opinions on things as i do! and so knowing that, we just build onto each other so much more! we had a break through. yes there are moments where i'm confused and don't know what she is talking about but she has a fire in her that is beautiful!!

 This week we got 11 new gators! woot woot, so now we will go through them and see who is solid and who isnt. also there was one day this week where i was just confused! i like had no idea what the spirit was trying to tell me! frustrating, but then we went to dinner with the elders and just watching the elders at dinner is so funny! they are super awkward but they are really good together, they build off of each other and suppport each other. which me and sis G are starting to do :) so it is awesome! (sung in a high voice) alright story time...

We were on our way to an investiagtors house. we pulled over to write in our planners k? now we're in a neighborhood and just pulled over on the side in a small ditch grassy area. and we were parked, just into writing in our planners than BAM! we were hit! some woman backed out of her driveway came across the road and hit us! we jump out and the woman was so angry! at herself and the situation! we were all ok. turns out she was on the phone... >:( but no we have our bumper crushed in... hahah so we called the popo (cops) ;) because that is what we were suppost to do, for we had called our the mission office for help. so anyways! while we were waiting for the cops to show up, the daughter showed up and came out, we all started talking. we gave them both BoMs then taught the first lesson. lol they go to the church of Christ! it was actually a really good lesson! the spirit was there and everything. we asked some really really good questions that got them thinking. we asked questions that would lead them to see that our church had the priesthood authority! it was awesome! they didnt become new gators though:( we were thinking after it was all done though that if we tracted into their house they wouldn't have let us in, they probably would have slammed the door in our beautifully sweaty faces! but since she hit our car she had to listen hahahah it was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! alright 2 more stories for this week.

We were driving to go see someone, but they didn't have an appt we were just going to stop by, when a family literally popped into my head. the Bowdens. i said we haven't seen them in a while, lets go see them! i felt really strongly about it.. now i can not ever remember the holy ghost doing this to me. he put the bowdens in my head! we went over, pulled up, said a prayer walked into they're house. and sis bowden was crying! she had found out that she has cancer and didnt have much longer to live, and it was just barely hitting her that it was real. she was sobbing! WOAH! she said that it had just hit her about 30 mins before we had shown up, and that when she saw our car she thought "you've got to be kidding me!"  Heavenly Father knew that she needed us! and the whole time apparently i was saying that everything was going to be alright. all would be well, and not to worry! i dont remember saying that more then 1x but sis G said i said it a lot!  we stayed there until she had calmed down. when we left we were in awe. like that has never happened to me that i could see the results so fast too! but she needed someone at that time when she was in a melt down. and we went there because of the holy ghost! i was just thinking. what if i ignored that thought and just kept going. we still wouldn't have known. she could be doing who knows what! we love her so much. i just sat there holding her on the couch while she sobbed. it was so sad. this is going to be really hard for her. but for some reason i know that everything will be ok!

Last story. Freddrick. came. to. church!! he looked so nice!! he had his dreads pulled back and he had a nice shirt and jeans on :) he is going through such a hard time its so sad, i want to hug him so much! he wasnt going to come to church but we told him that church will help his week and that it will bless him. he had gone to bed at 6:30 but came to church at 11. he looked like he was on the verge of crying the whole time!! i just wanted to hold him and let him know how much his heavnely father loves him and proud of him and wants him to keep trying! so i folded my arms instead. hahaha this is his 3x coming to church! so now once he figures some stuff out, he can get baptized! well that is all for this week :) Keep reading the BoM President Jensen had given us a challenge a while back to read the BoM in 3 days. he said he'd give us permission to stay inside and just read for 3 days! so im extending this commitment to you! even if you've already started it! take a day and just read! and than dont stop even if its confusing! the fact that your trying to read will bless you so much!!

Stay strong, dont forget me! and remember to pray D&C93:28
