So I have to start off by asking what the heck have you done with my siblings?? The pictures you sent of Olivia and Rustin are freaking me out, they do not look at all like the teenagers I left behind 14 months ago.. what is going on? Haha seriously I'm tripping out. I don't look that different, do I? Anyways sorry, thanks for the emails! It's great to hear that you had a good week (besides the dogs destroying your fave Book of Mormon) and that Olivia's..friend.. is doing ok. That's crazy, poor kid. And I'm sorry work for both of you has been crazy busy, but at the same time that's a good thing, right? Haha I miss sunday dinners with the Koskis/Wilsons! They were always entertaining. Luckily we'll be able to have a few when I get back before I start school. It sounds like the lax season has been crazy too. I'm glad Alec's not out for the season though and that Liv has 3 more games and so hopefully she'll be able to get a bit more playing time. Bleachers are the best!
So this week, my first as a leader, was interesting. Hna Schiess and I get along well, it's the weirdest thing ever being with a gringa again though.. Now when I talk about things that I like to do for fun like hike, dirtbike, wakeboard, run, etc. I don't get looked at like I'm a weirdo. It's definitely hard not to speak english too and I'm worried my spanish is going to be affected, but it's all good. Also, we talk about food a lot and so that's why I've asked for a few recipes because we're craving the desserts we used to eat at home. We haven't really had to do anything leadership wise besides go to a meeting (yay meetings..) with the zone & district leaders yesterday that started an hour and a half late. It was alright. We have the leadership meeting with Pres the 30th which should be a good one though, kind of intimidating. It's been a rough week as far as investigators go. All of the people I've told you about (Marcela, Salome, Cristina, etc.) have been cancelling and haven't been there for the appts. we've set up, so it's definitely been a test of patience for both of us. We've been trying to visit some old investigators and we were able to meet a few cool ones so this week hopefully we'll be able to have some lessons. We're also going to go through the ward directory and visit the people that don't come and try to see if they have any referrals for us. Things can only get better from here. As a mission we're reading the book of mormon in 66 days (not sure if I've mentioned this already) and a few days ago I read about Alma and Amulek who got hit in the face, spit on, and had to watch innocent people burn to death but they still stayed strong and kept preaching in another city after they were freed from prison, and so that's helped me realize that what we go through things like being avoided (or other things that I'll what till I get home to tell you) that it's really not that bad compared to what other missionaries have to deal with, let alone what Christ had to go through. So it's all good! Have an awesome time in New York and tell Madi I said hi & I miss her! Also tell Sis Hall happy late birthday!
Love, Hermana Crawford
