It has been a good week! i can't really remember much of what has
happened. it has rained.... a lot.... my nice umbrella i am pretty sure the
elders stole. i accidentally left it in their car and then they got transferred
and it is no longer in there. so i have been using just a poundland umbrella,
and a while ago the wind was so strong it broke some of the arms ( is that what
those metal things that spread the umbrella out are called? the ones that look
kinda like bat wings?) anyways a few of those broke so my umbrella was a bit
crippled, but i still used it, it just drooped down on either side of me and
worked more as a tent for my head, but yesterday i was swinging it around
waiting for the bus, and the whole top just popped off the stick, so i had an
umbrella top and a wand. i decided it was time to part ways with my little
crippled umbrella. don't worry i think i will manage to get over it...
eventually.
(Adam has an umbrella that pops off the stick too, but it's like a hidden weapon, so he likes it!)
funniest thing that happened well the one that i can remember is sunday
morning it was really cold and there was a bit of frost on the ground well i
took about 2 steps outside and then BAM! i was down for the count hahah it was
actually the funniest thing ever, i just sat there for a few minutes laughing my
head off. luckily it was early on a sunday morning so there was no one out,
because it was not the most lady like thing I have ever done.
dad your email was massive! good job, you must have started it early enough
that you didn't fall asleep in the middle of it. i am glad that my laptop is
slowly winning you over to the mac side. even though it requires two fingers to
delete. also your analogy for finance vs math teacher was great. honestly it
really helped thank you. you too mum very helpful. I am not too concerned right
this very second about it. i am trying not to think about it much, but i will
let you know in a bit my feelings. loved the pics mum and that was an amazing
experience! i am so proud of you! keep up the great work. sounds like a cool
present dad, i am not even in the slightest jealous though because you did not
get incredible soft warm socks and long johns.... :) ha
Sister pope and i have been working really hard together and have been
trying to come up with different ideas to find new investigators. it hasn't
really worked so well. we think Heavenly Father might be humbling us a bit haha
but really. it has been a bit disappointing working so hard and not seeing many
fruits investigator wise, but yesterday we realised something, we had 3 people
at church who have not been for a very long time. So although it may not be
baptisms, we are strengthening these less actives and helping them grow in their
testimony of the gospel. And that is just as important. Also we are working
with three 19 year olds that are struggling a lot but kinda have the desire to serve
missions, and we are trying to help them make that goal a reality. so different
ways of helping people and bringing others to Christ.
sorry it is going to be a short email, because the Cox's are taking us to
this chocolate factory and then some historic mill..... he is such a kind older man and is so excited ... so off we go! and besides it is fun too, and
it gives us something to do besides just being lazy the whole day. and when else
will we have this opportunity!?!
i take it rebecca you are back up at school and left in a flurry and rush
and all that good stuff. hope you made it safely and have a great start to this
new semester. crazy to think that i will possibly be there for the start of the
next one.
Adam sent Rachel this picture message:
0+< See the guy? He's laying down sideways. . .. ( _o_)
Adam i totally saw the guy laying down that you put in the email! and
Mckay, are you memorizing your scripture mastery? because if not.... do it. it
will help so much! you may think that i am just being a nag, i kind of am ha,
but one day you will email me while you are on your mission and thank me!
but i gotta run! love you guys so much! have a great week!! love, Rachel
