This week was eventful.
Monday was p-day and we carpooled
like EVERYBODY and their companions to EVERYWHERE! We felt like soccer moms! We
had 3 companion ships that we would drop off at and pick up from libraries and
stores and anywhere so that we could all get everything done. We also went on a
hike.
Tuesday I woke up with tons of bug
bites on my arms and legs.
Wednesday we had interviews with the
mission president. He is so nice and caring. I also had more bug bites on my
arms and legs.
Thursday a sweet old lady from our
ward called and told us that her uncle had been in a car accident and was in
the ICU. We drove to the hospital and met her there. The zone leaders gave her
a blessing. It was such a sweet blessing, and the spirit was so strong in that
tiny little hospital room. He passed away this Sunday.
Friday we locked ourselves out of
our apartment and had to drive downtown to get the spare key. They gave us the
spare key and some bug spray for our apartment.
Saturday we found out the bug spray
totally didn't work. I still had bites all over. Also, Saturday night we went
to our dinner appointment and I saw the sister cooking two giant slabs of meat,
which I assumed would be split between the 6 of us. I assumed incorrectly.
Everyone got their own giant slab of chicken. Which is super unfortunate
because my companion cant digest chicken. so We finished dinner and sped home.
We made it just in time before she threw up. Haha, she has been so good for me.
Then the zone leaders came over to give her a blessing. Poor thing. Her stomach
is very temperamental.
Sunday sister M was feeling better, but I had new bug bites. I
even sprayed myself with bug spray right before I went to bed! I don't know
what's happening. Anyway, Sister M four elders and I sang in Sacrament
meeting. It went well. Then after church I came home to find a note on my door
from Lindsay and Jonathan!!!!!!!!! about a half hour later, Jonathan knocked at
my door!!! It was so fun to see him! Don't worry mom, we totally got a picture
:) Well, I’m out of time. there is never enough time to email! love you all!

You look radiant Rachel! Hmmmm... the bug bites. My aunt had some great stuff up in Idaho that didn't smell like bug spray and worked amazing. I'll have to get the name. We are praying for you! We love you!
