We had interviews, they were good.

STLs suprised us with an exchange. Dang. Kinda ruined all our plans. But it was a good time! I dont mind exchanges its good to work with other people and see how they do things!

We met with our INV.*****, she is getting baptized Feb. 14th! She is the sweetest lady who is so sassy and so funny! She came to church and LOVED it and is going to bring all her friends!

I learned how to make GUMBO! I have 100 new recipes to make for yalls when I gets home! Im pretty dang excited. Gumbo is my new favorite food I think. 

Also I can make a dang good peach cobbler now. and lots of other foods.. 

Sunday we did a church exchange! a less active came back to church, and after church we went to her new church. Victory. That was an experience! church exchanges are pretty cool, were trying to go on as many as we can haha! 

but anyways! 

This week I really was hit hard that I am a missionary. I do things that normal people dont do. I am literally a light to some people and can help people.its kinda a big responsibility. Nothing is like mission work. and so many people rely on you to do so many things and to uplift them. Its hard to be happy smiley all the time and pretend you're not exhausted. its emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausting. you get no sleep, you study all morning/Night, try to learn a new language, find ways to help people who see no hope and have to be happy all the time and willing to take the crap that people try to shove in you face. all away from your family and friends, your phone and NETFLIX!

Who would want that life? I do. Because When I saw ella at church for the first time, and sis. Shelly at church for the first time in 18 years nothing has made me happier knowing they feel so blessed. That they are seeking out the eternal happiness that they deserve! That I get to be a part of someone finding hope that they can be happy for eternity!

I love this work. I am so tired and have a long way to go! But HOLY CRUDS its going fast and I love it!
