SO-CALI Me Maybe - May 30, 2017
Sunday, June 11, 2017
TRANSFER CALLS: Sister Woolsey is leaving and in her stead will come yet another SoCal Blondie, Sister Saint Laurent (whom I actually went on exchange with in Augsburg). I AM SO PUMPED.
Ok, but I am really sad to say bye to my comp. When I first came into Singen, I was really stressed out and struggling with self worth..... yet within a very short time this amazing girl built me up and helped me feel relax and confident again. I know the Lord puts us with people for a reason! Ughhhhh I will miss her!
Notable Notes
2. We had a ward campfire on a hill overlooking the Boden Lake; we roasted stockbrot (dough wrapped around a stick and put over the flame), we played limbo with a branch before the elders turned it into a sport of high jump, and I tested how long I could hold a handstand with the kids (17 seconds before someone threw a ball at me)
3. My favorite game: how many people can you count wearing American name apparel in 10 minutes; LEVEL 2 how many people can you count wearing something with California/its cities in 10 minutes. LITERALLY SO MANY PEOPLE
no shame falling asleep on trains or buses; 15 months of missionary work kinda wears ya down
4. We had FHE about the Holy Ghost with a Peruvian-German family
5. I've got this ombré tan going on on my arms from so many hours out doing finding with different length sleeves
6. Evidence #487 against the misconception that missionaries live in a bubble of holy innocence: it has only been since coming on a mission that men have offered me alcohol
7. Got asked to sing in a band (won't work with missionary work but hey it was a flattering offer!)
There is one sweet member in our ward whom we often visit; she lives in a home for the mentally disabled and she always gives us "love letters" and treats. She loves practicing her English with us and she absolutely cracks us up...
SOME CLASSIC SCHWESTER K QUOTES:
Doctrine and Covenants 50:
41 Fear not, little children, for you are mine, and I have overcome the world, and you are of them that my Father hath given me;
42 And none of them that my Father hath given me shall be lost.
"He came to earth not only to die, but to teach us how to live." -James E Talmage
Love you all!
