· We had our Great Kentucky Louisville Mission
Christmas party yesterday. It was really fun an awesome. There were a lot of
name tags in that stake center (like 270). I got to see Sister Griffiths,
Sister Lloyd, Sister Cox (eee!), Elder Peck, and Elder Hill. Poor Elder Hill is
in West End which the ghetto of Louisville. They're all doing great and loving
their missions.
· One of our investigators missed her baptismal date on the 20th
because she's been struggling really bad emotionally, because no one in her
family really loves her. So, we've kind of been out of contact. Well, we
finally found her again and she's taking lessons with us and we're trying to
make her feel better. I think that she just needs the Holy Ghost in her life so
she really really really needs to be baptized.
· We won't be in contact with L until after
the holidays.
· R is kind of hiding from us.
· We're moved in! (Ask my family for my address
if you so would like) But, the plumbing doesn't work. So, I've been washing my
hair in the sink and we use the bathroom at our old apartment or at members'
homes. Other than that it's a great house! Michele is the member we live with
and I love her to death. She's awesome.
· I am struggling. Today was the first morning I
really wanted to go home. As I write this I know how silly it sounds. I've just
been feeling like I'm not a good enough missionary. Yes, I know I've only been
out three weeks. Yes, I know I'll get better. Yes, I know missionary work is
HARD. Sister Ward generally takes over the lesson when we teach and when she
turns to me to say something my mind goes blank. I'm starting to go numb to the
doors that are closed and the "We have our own religion", "You
don't know Jesus", "No, thank you", "I'm happy right
now", "This church fits my life better", "I don't believe
in Mormonism", etc, etc. Maybe I'm not so numb because I get really
depressed sometimes. I don't want to go home anymore, but I really hope that I
can actually become a great missionary. All I know is that I am very much
humbled.
· We went Living Christmas Card caroling with
the Zone Leaders (Elder Black and Elder Geary) again. That's always fun and we
meet some very nice families.
· I finally saw horses! We went to Goshen for a
dinner appointment. Goshen is the place where the houses are so big that I wet
my pants. They're huge and expensive. They're surrounded by gorgeous ranches
with horses that probably cost more than my life is worth. If you Google
Lousville, this is he place that shows up in the pictures.
· No, still have not had fried chicken.
· Yes, I have started to say y'all.
· Other lingo I have no mastered: usn's.
· I made chocolate covered pomegranate clusters.
Yes, they're delicious.
· I GET TO TALK TO MY FAMILY ON CHRISTMAS!!
· There's a package at the mission office that
I'm not allowed to step outside my area to get...rrrrr. Hopefully, some very
nice member will be willing to get it for me.
Okay,
I love you all!!!!!!! I'll talk to you on CHRISTMAS!!!!)
