Another ending 2/25/13

You're going to Disney Land without me?!!!  I feel a bit betrayed here. Ha ha!  It's a good thing I love being a missionary so much that I don't feel a bit of jealousy.  Yeah we went to Sis.Rasmussen's the other night and I did a few blog posts for her.  It was pretty easy and she fed us such good food too.  It's as close to home as I can get here.  I really never do want to leave Wylde Green because when I was in Wales and Nottingham I just felt so alone and far away, but I feel much more secure and loved here.  The assistants  are like our body gaurds and will call us in the evenings when we have late appointments so that we don't have to walk home too late. And I don't know if you have heard, but they are opening 58 new missions in the world!  Sis.Rasmussen called us up to let us know the other night and said that AZ is getting 4 of them.  Craziness!!!  It's quite exciting being a missionary right now and seeing all of the ...

Happy Days! 2/18/13

This week was one of the fast moving weeks of my mission. I can't believe it is Monday again.  Transfers are at the end of next week and Sis.Laborero and I are sad that our time together will be cut short.  We're still like best friends and everyday is just a party.  Thursday/Valentines Day/Zone conference was such a good day! I got Mom's valentine package and the conference was really nice and I learned a lot. Sis.Rasmussen had me take pictures of everyone at lunch so that we can put them up on the mission blog on Thursday. I love being around missionaries. There is just this good vibe that comes and I am so happy and want to go work. But then that evening after planning I found a potential in my planner from earlier in the week and we found where he lived on the map.  Turns out that he is just out of our area, so then we were trying to figure out who's area he was in.  I saw the name of one bordering area and just called the elders there to see. ...

More Snow - Boooo! 2/11/13

More snow! Boooo! Ha ha! Rumor has it that this will be the coldest February in the past 27 years.  We're just thrilled.  But it really hasn't been too bad.  I just don't like the snow because then it goes through the holes in my shoes and also the last time it snowed I fell a couple of times and that wasn't fun either. Other than that I love it here.  I am so grateful to be with Sis.Laborero during the bad weather because then it really isn't that bad. I learn so much from her every day and we just have a good time.  I'm working on my posh English accent so that I  will come home sounding all prim and proper. Ha ha!  I definitely don't want to pick up the Birmingham accent.  I can barely understand it on a good day! Two weeks ago we met a guy named Andrew at the bus stop.  We had a nice chat with him - well, Sis.Laborero did since I could only catch every other word.  But it turns out that he took what we said to hear...
