This week went by very quickly!!!
..... it was nice because I got us all rehydrated......then during the
closing song a few people had to get up to use the restroom:) fun stuff.
On Tuesday, we had district meeting. For the motivational activity before
the district meeting started, some elders had set up a game of "water pong"
......it was actually super fun! haha
sis willis and I won.!!!
Then on Friday, we had Zone conference!!! and finally, on Friday, our
shower got fixed!!!! Yay no more cup showers!!!!!!! President talked about how
we are all in this "box" of missionary work. we can move around as freely as we
want inside the box, but we can't go outside of the box- break the rules. He
talked about how we all slip outside of it a little bit here and there, and what
we need to do is get back inside. But when we get Way outside of the rules and
do something crazy, then we get put in the "not trusted" box....and he drew a
little tiny box. He said that is where he puts you with a companion that he
knows will watch you closely, and you get "babysat". He talked about how we can
repent and change and eventually get back into the big box- the trusted box. But
it we're not willing to do that or if we are still being crazy, then we get into
another little box....and he drew an airplane on the chalk board. That's for
when people get sent home. So we all laughed, but it really was a good point. It
is a special opportunity to be out here and we don't want to blow it by breaking
all of the rules. Rules are there to keep us safe. Heavenly Father gives us
commandments so that He can bless us as we keep them, and so we can be
happy.
here is a picture of our DL and sister Willis and I :) ( being happy :)
Saturday was exchanges! I went down to Kona with sister UV. It was really
fun! She is such a happy and positive person! I love being around happy people.
it just makes me......happy!!!! So that was fun- and hot. Kona's hot.
Sister Willis has been pretty sick these past couple of days. She has been
really good at just pushing through it, but yesterday she was exhausted! So our
day consisted of ward council meeting, church, a lunch appointment, then coming
back home. She needed a nap. Then we went to see three little girls' baptism, then
we went back home and she napped a little bit more. poor thing has just been so
sick! we did our studies then had dinner and went to bed. We are going to take
her into the doctor tomorrow. They think part of it might be that our house is
old and moldy....so we'll have to see!
