Sooo I'd just have to say I'm kicking myself in the face for NEVER learning to play the piano.... it's awful when there isn't a piano player in Sacrament meeting and everybody looks at me like I know how to play or something, and I'm like, uhhh yeah, you're right I'm the only gringa mormon that doesn't know how to play the piano…
Something real sweet happened this week. Elder Amado, our general authority of the area came and spoke to us. He is SO FUNNY and when he first came in he wanted to shake all of our hands and asked us where we are from and how long we have been in the mish. So when it was my turn I told him, "I'm from Boise", and he was like, "ohh I love boise it's so pretty!" and I was like "I know right!" And then I told him I had 6 months in the mish and he was like, "your spanish is really good!" and I said, "ohhh well thank you".. haha then I told Hermana Wilkinson and she was like, "he doesn't compliment just anyone, you know. so you should feel special". I did. He talked to us so much on how to feel the spirit and how to be better missionaries than we already are. he is super proud of us and our hard work.
So before he came I was sitting, talking to the elders, and I look to the door way, and guess who was there.... JACOB SMOOT from SVU!!! I freakkkeddd! he did too, I was like JACOB, and he was like, JOCE, and we were like, uhhhhh first name basis, of course. hahaha ahhh it was a fun little reunion. he is doing super great, and only has 9 months left!! We talked about all the good times at SVU. We were dying haha
We had a lesson with a member, with one of her references... I hate working with returned missionaries from like 50 years ago.... first of all, the lady can't remember if she was baptized or not in the church about 14 years ago, and the member said she has a baptism date and everything. Yeah no lady, sorry, you don't have the authority and power to even think about that. sorry not sorry. I was like, uhhh no, that is up to the Lord. and us, the missionaries. the representatives of Jesus Christ who were set apart to do his work in this country. We will let ya know what the big man says. gosh dang, I'm still working on my patience... if ya can't tell...
I still have pet peeves... I don't think that is ever going to change,,, cause I still wanna slap people across the face when they talk with their mouth full... Christlike attributes...
Speaking of those, in Genesis chapter 45 verses 5 and 7, it talks about Joseph, and how he forgives his brothers. He is a pretty cool guy I guess. The bible is sweet, I didn't really realize that until I have had comps that know the bible like the back of their hand cause that's what they grew up doing, was learning from the bible in their other church. But the Book of Mormon, it's the truth. I know that for a fact.
So we had weekly planning with the zone leaders, cause the president asked them to do it with all their missionaries to give them feedback. They help us out so much, it's awesome. but we had to sing like 7000 times to bring the spirit back. I'm not the only one who hates weekly planning. hahah but we gotta do it...
ANGIE GOT BAPTIZED!!!! She speaks english too. I gave her my blog address, and so she's probably like, wow she talks about me a lot. hahaha but really, it was a great experience. not a whole lot of support from the ward, but that is no surprise. It is was awesome. and she was super happy, and now enjoying the companionship of the Holy Ghost. So that's good. I'm always worried that they won't show up to get confirmed after they are baptized, but shes golden, so it went well.
We had a family home evening with this family, and I'm pretty sure the mom is super anti American. Her son wants to live in the USA and she's always bashing on it in front of me. And the bad thing is, she watches the news about it. You can't even trust the news in the states! I'm like okkkk now we are going to sing a hymn... while I'm like steaming with anger. haha I let it go quick though, so that was good.
We went to primary, again. I kinda enjoy it, but then once the kids get on my nerves, I'm like, good thing its only for another 10 mins... haha nahh I love it. but we did a mini MTC experience, they were so cute with their missionary badges, in their companionship, doin work. Future missionaries, woot woot.
There's this little kid who HATES the female gender. its sooooo funny. I'm always trying to talk to him and he's like, "I said don't talk to me. don't look at me." and he always runs away when we come to his house. but yesterday we were eating dinner at his house, and he had popcorn and gave me one piece and was like "thats all, no more".... but then,,, I started playing with a balloon, and he wanted to play with me!!! so we played with a balloon for like 20 mins, and after I asked him for a hug, and he almost gave me one, then was like, "what, no way!" haha and his mom asked if I was his friend, and he was like, "no, I will only play with her, but she is not my friend". hahahah
I get some of my words mixed up sometimes and my comp thinks its the funniest thing, especially when I say bad words that I didn't even know were bad... but don't worry, I'm still working on the lanugage...my comp helps me soooooooo much.
