Sister Moran's Life is Boring

For anyone waiting on an email from Emily this week, she decided not to write a group email because she felt like nothing exciting really happened. I think that's because, in comparison to meeting the prophet and most of the apostles, regular missionary life could seem kind of boring. We're just grateful she still wrote to us and shared some of what's been going on at Temple Square. Emily seems to really appreciate actual mail, as much as if not more than email, so if anybody wants to sharpen their letter writing skills and write to a missionary you could definitely write to Emily. Here's her address: 

          Sister Emily Moran

          Utah Salt Lake City Temple Square Mission

          50 North West Temple Street BSVC

          Salt Lake City, UT  84150

It sounds like you had quite the week mama. Sorry you had to talk to so many people, that must be stressful. I'm glad that you had a day to just lay around, that sounds nice. And congrats on your resiliency thing, it sounds like it went well!!! I knew that you would kill it.  Sorry your kids are annoying. But it's all good, I'm sure they understand. How did dads thing go? And I'm glad that the soccer teams took the w but that's too bad Abby didn't play too much, I thought she would play more from the way she described how practice was going. But it's probably because she missed the first game. 

Okay tbh, this week has been pretty boring. Like literally nothing has happened. It's just been more of the same. Wake up, drag Sister Broadbent running she'ss a champ for coming with me) go to square, talk to peeps all day long, talk to peeps online and try and teach people, go home, do companionship study, do personal study (Sister Broadbent doesn't do this part, usually she just goes to bed), get ready, see if Sister Broadbent is awake to do companionship prayer, personal prayer, go to sleep. That is the day in the life of a Temple Square missionary. Except sometimes we go and talk to people at night after studies on the off chance Sister Broadbent isn't asleep already. 

Speaking of Sister Broadbent's sleeping problem, we have gotten better at getting her not to nap!!! We have taken one since our talk so whoop whoop. Also, you know how we thought her thyroid was low, turns out it isn't and actually she is totally and completely fine, she just gets tired easily. 

Hmmm, I guess some exciting things would be that because last Wednesday was transfers everyone was super busy so we got to pick up a lot of shifts and be super busy!! They changed the way they schedule us so now they schedule our lunchtime and our online teaching time as well as the normal assignments because there were too many people spending too much time in the mission home and not doing enough missionary work and dropping assignments for no reason and for just not helping pick up shifts because they're lazy. Basically, the sisters here were slacking off so we're going to a new strict schedule to whip us into shape. 

Another thing was we made our district goal for baptisms. Sister Broadbent and I think that we could maybe get two. Andrew is still progressing kinda and we're having a lesson with him on Wednesday where we will be keeping it real with him and telling him to get it together, church is more than a hobby and this will improve every aspect of your life if you let it, will you take a quick dip in the baptismal font?? So yeah. Also, he hasn't been able to meet with the locals yet as far as we know so hopefully we can get his life together spiritually for him. Our other person is Henry. He was an inbound call and the first time we talked to him he said he wanted to be baptized. So then we called him and read some of the Book of Mormon with him and he had a really hard time reading. We could hear this voice in the background helping him sound out words and spell things out and then after a few more minutes of talking and discussing, the background dude says, "Wait wait wait hold up hold up, can you explain something to me?" And I was like sure random voice what do you want to know? So then he asks a random question about Jesus so I said I didn't know but I would get back to him and then he was like introducing himself and then we talked to both of them for a while and then they both committed to going to church! Turns out the random voice was Eric, Henry's roommate and they have a really cute story about how they found each other and they're gonna stick together because Henry had a hard life but they take care of each other. It's cute and I almost cried no jokes. 

This week in relief society, they had an exciting announcement for us.... apparently, President Nelson is going to be making a big announcement in the South Visitors Center in a few weeks and while they remodel the temple, they are also going to remodel lots of the square, which includes the visitors center. President said they are going to start in 2020 most likely but that our mission is still going to be here but there are going to be some changes in venues and stuff like that. Basically, no one knows what is going on. I don't really know how I feel about all of this because at this point I will have been out about a year when they start and then my whole mission is just going to change drastically and then President will be released and we'll get a new president and that is no bueno because I love President. 

On a happier and less of a cliff hanger note, I got your package this week and it was awesome! Thanks for always thinking of me! Also, the letters you sent me were awesome, I loved them the most. 

That's about all I have. I don't really feel like writing a weekly because nothing really happened besides the same old. Nothing too crazy over here. The weather is improving and Conference is coming, you can feel it in the air here at Temple Square. All of us missionaries are quaking with anticipation because APPARENTLY there is going to be a major change in missionary work. I am so excited!!! Also, we had a training on General Conference because it is wild up on the Square so please pray for me that I will be able to fulfill my missionary purpose and be able to find some new people to teach amongst the masses of people. Love you and miss you so much!! Have a great week!! 

Love

Sister Moran 

Witchcraft and the Prophet

Emily was so much happier when we spoke with her this week. We're grateful for all of you who prayed for her and took the time to reach out to her and lift her spirits. This week she had some sweet experiences that reminded her that Heavenly Father is aware of her and loves her. I'm mixing things up this week and sharing her group email first and her email to Jared and I second. 

Hey everybody!

Okay, so this week has been a crazy one so buckle up. 

First of all, here on Temple Square, we get a lot of people who are anti-church because literally, it is the heart of everything sooooo this week I had an anti that was mentally unstable. 

So there I was, standing in the north visitors center when this guy walks in with some super cool orange sunglasses. And I'm like hey and he says to the group in general "hey sisters" so I'm like okay cool hey. And then he starts talking to only me and is like, "sisters because of polygamy, right?" And I was like no we don't do polygamy bro. And then he starts rambling and I know he is crazy but it's chill. Good old Sister Broadbent as always is ready to call security. Until she sees some random dude she knows and LEAVES and then the situation goes super south. So I cross my feet one over the other as we're talking and then he says to me "That was witchcraft. You crossing your feet was you practicing witchcraft" and I was like uh no again. And then he is like that's what the Book of Mormon talks about, witchcraft. And I was like no it actually only talks about Jesus Christ here give it a read and you'll see and then I handed him a Book of Mormon like a good missionary. But then he handed it back and said I'll prove it, open to any page. And that is when Elder Hastings, one of the senior missionaries comes over and just starts destroying this dude, especially for accusing me of witchcraft. It was pretty funny... until homeboy with the orange sunglasses got triggered and then we had to call security on him. Unfortunately, he left before security showed up but it was still crazy, especially the things he was yelling at us as he left because they made no sense Haha. 

Second of all, this week was probably the most amazing week ever because I got to meet *drumroll* the PROPHET AND ALMOST ALL OF THE APOSTLES! It was so crazy because we always joke here that we are going to run into general authorities here at Temple Square but we actually did. President Nelson shook mine and a couple other sisters hands and he told us that we were "all so beautiful" and that "he was proud of us" and to "keep up the good work". No jokes, my brain exploded and my whole body was tingling and I'm never washing my right hand again. Just kidding about the hand thing but I was and still am in shock. I'm so grateful for the knowledge that I have about living prophets. I'm grateful that Heavenly Father is still directing us in these modern days and I know that He does so through his living prophet President Russel M. Nelson. What a privilege it was to shake his hand and meet him. 

Sister Broadbent and I are teaching a few really promising people and we had three people commit to attending sacrament meeting this week and hopefully baptism soon! I'm still getting used to online teaching and sometimes I still wish that I was teaching in person more like a "normal" missionary but it's all good because these people that I have been able to teach and contact online are so prepared and it's just so cool to see them progress:) 

Emily's companion took this photo of her laying on the floor and CRYING after they had to hand their investigator Andrew over to the local missionaries in Ohio.

That's all I have for this week. Love and miss you all and please email, I love to hear how everyone is doing! 

Sister Moran 

**********************

Mom and Dad, 

What's up?!?! 

That's a big blessing for Abby for Honors Choir and getting to go to the game. Thank you to Ms. Kenney for being slightly more chill than she usually is.  

Dad is the goat and I really hope he wins the next level award!! Mom, you're the goat and you're going to kill the resilience thingy!! Yay for Maddy and her scholarship! What a blessing! And Sammy, oh she's so cute with all of her crying even after the play was done like wow. 

Like I said on the phone, I met the prophet this week. His eyes are crazy blue. I know for a fact that he looked into my soul and hopefully most of what he saw was good. Also, mom, you are so right, Elder Stevenson looks waaayyyy better with glasses (I would know because I saw him when I saw the prophet;). No other mission in the world would I just happen upon the Prophet and the twelve apostles while going to lunch via the secret tunnels. It's so wild. I think it was a tender mercy, to be honest. I struggled so much the past week and I think Heavenly Father knew that and just decided to bless me even though I don't deserve it. I'm not saying that you'll always see the prophet and the apostles when you're struggling but wow it was so amazing. It humbled me and made me more grateful for the opportunity I have to be here at Temple Square. (During our phone call, Emily told us that the apostles used to ride in golf carts in the tunnels that go between the temple and the church office building but President Nelson wants them to be more active so he's asked them to walk. I love this and think it's just so cool.)

This week I accidentally (and I swear it was an accident) told on Sister Broadbent and how she takes a lot of naps to the mission nurse and then the mission president's wife found out and then Sister Broadbent was sent to the doctor. Sister Broadbent has been told that she is anemic but it turns out she just has an underactive thyroid which I thought meant she would be bigger but she is like the tiniest person ever so that's cool. We have another appointment on Wednesday so hopefully, she gets some medication to help with her drowsiness. It was funny because she had to get blood drawn and she had me come back with her and hold her hand while it happened. She made me distract her too because she was freaking out so we just talked about what to teach our people so we are totally consecrated. 

I cried when we felt like we had to hand Andrew off to the local missionaries. We just love him so much. This is probably the hardest part of serving here, not being able to have real say in your people. Because they aren't really your people. They are the local missionaries people. The good news is, Andrew's locals seem super cool and totally want to collaborate to the end!! Were also teaching Henry and his roommate which is surprising! Henry was one of the inbound calls that wanted to be baptized right of the bat. The local missionaries were awesome and they worked so hard to find him and they said he was so prepared and was begging to hear more!!! YAY FOR HENRY!!! And also for his roommate who sat in on the lesson and on our lesson with them today and wants to go to church too!! There are a few other people that seem promising but those three are progressing the most:) 

Things with Sister Broadbent are going a lot better now. Hopefully, we stop taking so many naps now because she's getting medical help. Very good times here at Temple Square. I'm six weeks into the mission at this point so I'm halfway done with training yayayyyyyyy!!!! 

I love and miss you both. Thanks for staying up late and talking to me!!! I'm praying for you all every day! 

Love

Em 

p.s. Oh, and I forgot to tell you I got to see all of my cutie roomies from school this week!  It was Corinn first on Thursday in the tabernacle. Her and Babe and Siva came the next day and then Danielle came the day after that. It's just been a week of tender mercies. It's almost like Heavenly Father is just telling me to hang in there. Love you! 

Look how excited Emily was to see Corinn, her roommate from college! 

Where Did The Book Go?!

Our phone call with Emily this week was just Emily, Jared, and I and that was exactly what it needed to be. Our missionary is going through a rough patch and she just needed to cry a little. Anybody feel like writing a missionary? I know she could use all the extra love and encouragement right now. Her email address is emily.moran@missionary.org and her address is Sister Emily Moran; Utah Salt Lake City Temple Square Mission; 50 North West Temple Street BSVC; Salt Lake City, UT  84150

Okay, so time for the pity party - yikes. It's not even that the work is hard because it isn't because we are so spoiled here. It's really just who I'm working with; which is awkward. 

Sister Broadbent and I do not have the same work level or tenacity or like even ethic. Her "I'm working hard" is a lot less than my "I'm working hard" and straight up I feel like I haven't even worked very hard since I've been here. 

Sooooo as I was telling you, when I got locked out because she couldn't even run half a mile without dying... that annoyed me and I had a hard time being patient. And trust me I am praying for patience 24/7. When she is peeing I am on my knees praying for patience and love toward her. And I serve her all the time. She takes a full hour and a half to get ready and I take a full 20 minutes so because she takes so long I make her breakfast and pack her lunch because if I don't then we will be late. 

Anyways, so that day when she literally ran less than half of a mile and then said she was tasting blood. And then she was napping while I was showering which is nothing new. But then the thing is when I go to wake her up she's like "I'm sick." And I'm so triggered at this point. Because she is talking about how her stomach hurts and how her throat hurts and her head hurts and she can't go to the Square... which means I can't go to the Square. I'm trying to be calm and I'm like it's okay you need to feel better (blah blah blah) so I call all the necessary people. She then sleeps for no joke seven hours. And then she wakes up and feels absolutely fine. She wasn't sick and I know that for a fact she was just tired and she has zero tolerance for being uncomfortable. 

Can you tell that I'm having a hard time right now? She is then like "oh I'm slightly anemic so that's why I get tired so easy blah blah" and I'm thinking GIRL SO AM I, FIGHT ME, I STILL DO MISSIONARY WORK. And this leads me to what I find very frustrating. She has to take a nap every day. For reals. We have this thing called the blue room where there are couches to sleep if you need to (I know we're so spoiled and I hate it). We are supposed to be good about not using them too much but she every day during planning is like "I'm really tired today I'm going to need a nap" and I'm just thinking "ugh, you say that every day" but of course I dont actually say that, instead I'm like oh okay no problem but on the inside I can barely keep it together. I'm going to bring it up in our companionship inventory and just tell her look, I get that you get tired but we take too many naps. And I dont even nap with her. I do studies and then pray for more patience. So I'm going to try and get her to one nap a week. Its ridicilulous. I'm having a hard time in case you can't tell. 

Like I said, at least once a day, I just get sad and think "wow I have to be here for 18 months" but it's all good because I have a lot of fun and still do missionary work but sometimes I get down. I'm working on being more positive and its halfway working. 

Next week is the end of the transfer and I just want a new companion. Like I really, really do. Badly. I feel like I could be more effective with a new companion who is more my speed. But I'm not going to get one because I need to learn to be patient and all that jazz so I will be with Sister Broadbent for another 7 weeks. Wow, it just really hit me that that is true. At least we're almost halfway done with training and then I can be free and work more my pace. 

With all of that being said, Sister Broadbent is a really good person. She hates talking to people but knows I love it so she let's me pick up extra shifts so I can talk to more people and she's taught me to love TC more so I'm grateful for that. Also, she really does try hard to keep up so I feel bad but at the same time I'm trying to feel like I did everything I could at the end of my year and a half and if the trend continues I'm going to walk off the plane unsatisfied. 

Any suggestions on how I could love her more and have more patience? Any suggestions on how I could nicely get us to work harder? I'd love to hear everything you have because I'm desperate. 

This week has been exciting though besides all that. My roomie sister Khumphramueang from Thailand, along with a bunch of other sisters here got their outbound calls!!! I'm excited for when it is my turn to go outbound. We had our zone activity today and it was minute to win it games which was fun! I mostly just liked the side games of volleyball, soccer, and basketball that we played when not everyone could participate in one of the games. I got competitive, you know me but I'm working on not being competitive because of the white handbook and I did my best to not care and be like oh it's for fun. My best isn't perfect but hey we're getting there. 

Sorry for crying so much on the phone. I don't think I realized how bad I've been feeling till I saw you guys and just lost it all. It helps writing it all down though. 

Please pray for me because I need it with the companion. And the work is good. We have a good pool of about 10 that we are teaching online and a few are showing really good progress and two even expressed a desire to be baptized which is what I love to hear. 

I love you guys so much and I miss you a lot. I'm so glad we can call. Its nice just to talk about random stuff with all of you because it makes me feel more normal and part of the family. Talk to you next tuesday!!! 

Love, 

Em

Hey Everyone! 

This week wasn't too eventful but still, some cool stuff happened!

First of all, there was this one day where I was just off my game. Like I was being awkward and I kept introducing myself as Emily and not as Sister Moran (that probably happened because for everything online I have to go by Emily and we do a lot of teaching online), and I kept being awkward with my... well with my everything. But it be like that sometimes so that's cool. 

But later that same day, we were doing some online teaching and I just took some random calls and two random people like within two minutes of me talking to them were like "I want to be baptized". I was shook. And I was just kind of stunned and I was still in my awkward phase and I said to one of them "well we can definitely do that for you my man" and then I cringed for like five minutes straight at myself. Anyways, I think it was a tender mercy because I was having a rough day. I know that Heavenly Father really loves us and cares about us and knows when we are having a bad day and will bless us for our efforts:) 

I talked to a really interesting person on the Square this week! It was this guy with a sick beard in his thirties. We were talking to him and at first I just thought that he was strange and then I realized that he was on drugs. No jokes he was so high. I have never seen someone that far gone. Well, I almost got him to take a Book of Mormon but he handed it back and then two seconds later he looked down at his hands and was like "where did the book go?! It just disappeared!" So I was like "oh no it's right here don't worry" but he was spooked after that and he left. I can't blame him though, I would be spooked too if the Book of Mormon just poofed out of my hands;) 

Well, I love and miss you all! I love to hear from you so send me an email and I'll respond as soon as I can! 

Sister Moran

p.s. MADISON MY BEAUTIFUL OLDER SISTER CAME TO VISIT and it made my week! 

Interpretative Dance

Okay, this week a lot of things happened. First off, we've been getting a lot more assignments!! Before it was like 1 or maybe 2 a day and now it's 3 or 4 and we like to pick up some shifts so we can sometimes get 5!! It's awesome because I feel busier and I like to be busy because then I know I'm doing something and I feel like I'm not wasting my mission. Bad news about more assignments is that Sister Broadbent gets super tired and I think it wears on her immune system because she has been getting tired really easy and her stomach is being weird. So she wants to nap like every day which is not my jam but oh well. 

We took a tour of 4th graders for like 3 hours around temple square this week!! They were on a field trip and we were supposed to go at like 1145 but then at 0930, they were like uh they're gonna be in here in five minutes come to the west gate (where we pick up big tours) and we were like oh okay that's fine. So then we get there talk to some 4th graders and then this other sister, her name is Sister Honeycutt comes over and she is like "This is our tour. We're taking the early one" and we were like welp they told us to come and we're here but we aren't gonna argue in front of the kids and this sister was dead serious for us to leave so we just let her have it. Turns out that she knew that HER TOUR AND HER TOUR ONLY HAD ELDER RASBAND'S grandson in it and the group that was supposed to be our group got to go and meet him at the Administration Building. Idk how she got the inside scoop but she did ugh. Sister Broadbent said that Sister Honeycutt has done that to her before with tours and honestly she is the kind of sister I need to stay away from because I will not be able to control my face or fists. I was telling Sis Greenall about it (my MTC companion) and she was just laughing at me. I'm just saying, that she is shorter than me by a few inches and I have a lot of built up rage... but she seems scrappy. To be fair, in my interview with President, he said that he could tell I was scrappy so I could take her no problems. 

Speaking of President, I love him. Every time he talks I just smile and smile and then when I see him I just like sit up straight and smile and forget how to talk. So yup, I love President Fisher. Sister Fisher scares me but she means well. Also, they have a company that makes tortillas and stuff like that called Don Julio so check it out. 

Sister Broadbent and I had the Tabernacle one day and it was so dead but then these four gorgeous men walk in and were like "oh hi, uh, do you want to know more about the building?" and they're all like "sure, sure" so we tell them and I was like wow, I forgot how to talk. Anyways, we directed them to the Assembly Hall and we called the missionaries in there 15 minutes later and asked if they saw the hot dudes too and they did and we died together so it was kind of funny. 

I dealt with my first anti-Mormons!! And it wasn't even that bad. These ones were teenage girls with their moms from a Christian school in Arizona who came to Temple Square for a field trip. They had specific scriptures looked up and asked me to explain them so I did and they were pretty polite. After a while, I didn't even know what I was saying it was just the Holy Ghost putting words in my mouth straight up. Eventually, I confounded the teenage girls (good job Sister Moran) and then it was just the one mom asking me questions. They were like the scribes and the Pharisees in the new testament trying to trip up Jesus but nothing can stop the truth yo. Eventually she just kinda looked confused and then was like well thanks for answering our questions and I was like no big deal, would you like your own copy of the Book of Mormon?? And like TWO OF THE GIRLS stuck out their hands but the mom was like no thanks we're good but then to the girls, I was like would you two like a copy and they were like oh no thanks but I knew they did want one. Where was Sister Broadbent during all of this you may ask?? Standing behind me being silent. She was so terrified she almost cried. Good times. 

This week I taught the Restoration at the temple model in ten minutes. The couple was intrigued but didn't want a copy of the Book of Mormon or anything because they were going on a plane and didn't have space so I told them where they could get the digital version. Sister Broadbent was talking to someone else and then watched me give the lesson when she was done from a distance. Sister Liu (from China) afterward was like dang you just taught the Restoration at the temple model and I was like yeah what's the big deal? And she was like that just never happens. And then she high fives me. Because online teaching is so hard for me, I think Heavenly Father gives me these tender mercies to keep me motivated and going.

I lowkey taught another lady the Restoration by the temple model too and then when I offered her a Book of Mormon she said ummm no but she thought about it for like ten minutes. But here is the kicker. AFTER SHE SAID NO SHE TOOK THE BOOK OF MORMON FROM MY HAND AND LEGIT FLIPPED THROUGH IT AND WAS LIKE WOW THIS IS SO COOL. I wish I ran away so she would have to keep it but oh well. I think rejection is hard for a lot of missionaries because you know what these people are missing out on.

On a happier note, I did MTC contacting this week! That's just when all of the sisters in the MTC going to a Visitor's Center all come to Temple Square and go around with us sisters and learn how to be good Visitor's Center missionaries!! I got put in a trio with a sister named Sister Kearns (she's been out six months) and then sister Bartsch from GERMANY going to LONDON HYDE PARK I was like you are my perfect person and we had such a good time!! Both of our Teaching Center lessons fell through but it's okay but we had a tour to end all tours that was the most amazing thing ever. We had 3 nonmembers and 2 members and we decided that we really wanted to focus on Christ. We took them to all of the normal places but man oh man it was so good. We were flowing into each other so much and we introduced the Book of Mormon so well and testified and the spirit was so strong even when we just shared the history!! It was the perfect mix of history, testimony, and our beliefs. All three of the nonmembers wanted the Book of Mormon and then I was talking to the two dudes and the one was like wow this book sounds so cool and I am definitely going to read this because it sounds amazing!! He said that he understood our church so much better now. I gave them both my emails so hopefully, they reach out soon!!!! 

When I thought back on my week, it honestly seemed boring but now writing about I can see that it was a good week!! It's getting a little monotonous but that is okay. I knew it would get that way in a mission this small. I think that Heavenly Father is going to help me deal with that part of the mission. 

Thanks for talking with me earlier, it makes the week so much better. I like this new rule! And I know you like the emails so hopefully, this will work for you. I love you and miss you!! Feel better soon, I'm sorry you're so sick! And about your temple talk, you should deffo be firm and bold but not overbearing. These people are stuck in their habits and their ways and they aren't all good. The Lord seeth fit to chasten his people every once in a while, right? And he does it through the voice of his servants, right?? So be bold but loving, just like the Savior:) I'm sure that whatever you'll do will be what the ward needs to hear. Maybe tell them about my Thai roomie and how we shouldn't take the temple for granted. Thanks for the package btw!! It is awesome!! Sister Broadbent really likes the chocolate so it's been a real treat. Love and miss you so much!!!!

Love, 

Em

*********************

Hey everyone!! 

I thought this week was boring, but when I looked back at it, I realized that it was actually super eventful so I'll try and be quick with everything that happened. 

Sis Broadbent and I gave a bunch of 4th graders a tour! We were TOLD that we were gonna see Elder Rasband but that ended up not happening due to some miscommunications. But it's all good, I'm not even that disappointed anymore... kind of. 

Us sisters on temple square get to go to Music and the Spoken Word once a transfer and Sister Broadbent and I chose to go this time and wowwwwww it was a good choice because ELDER BEDNAR WAS THERE. I was super sneaky and took a pic. I couldn't pay attention to the music because, ya know, there was just an apostle chillin the audience. No big deal. 

This week I got to do MTC contacting, which is when all of the sisters in the MTC that are going to a Visitor's Center come to Temple Square and learn how to be good missionaries at a Visitor's Center! I got paired up with Sister Bartsch who is from Germany and is going to London Hyde Park like WHAT she was literally the perfect person for me because I've lived both places!!! We had the most amazing tour I've ever been on. We gave out Books of Mormon to all of the nonmembers on the tour and one dude was like "this book seems so cool I'm going to for sure read it" and I was like !!!!!!!!! (For real though I could not even speak I just nodded my head enthusiastically)  And then I gave him my email. fingers crossed that he emails me because that would be #cool. 

I'll tell a funny story really quick to wrap up. Sister Broadbent is super talented and can play the piano and I'm super not talented and I can't. Sometimes, she'll start playing and I feel the need to be talented too, so I do the only thing possible in those situations and I interpretive dance to the hymns. And then she laughs and stops playing. Let's just say that by the end of my mission, I think I'm gonna be a professional dancer so watch out world, here I come. 

That's all I have for this week (and it was a lot, I know). So if you read all of this, you're a real homie. Love and miss you all! Email me!
