1. I ended up in the choir because my companion made me :).
2. I think because I was one of the only bass singers, but who knows.
3. It was some custom version of "Softly and Tenderly".
4. We are teaching a lot of members right now, there are actually zero progressing investigators! We have some people we teach, but they like to try to prove us wrong a lot. A lot of money and pride-it hurts, they don't even know what they're missing.
5. The schedule is basically the same every day, we get out of bed at 6:30, eat breakfast, study until 11:00, eat lunch, then try to find new investigators. It's easily the hardest thing I've ever done, and I really want to quit, but I keep praying for strength and it works!
7. I've read the Book of Mormon twice since I came out, it really helps!
8. I just got a haircut today! Sister Black did it for free!
9. I eat a lot of eggs, pancakes, and toast. The members could do a better job of feeding us, but we do get to eat most nights.
10. Laundry is fine, we have a laundry machine.
Other random questions: I might get the package today if my companion is ok with us hanging out with the other missionaries- I really hope so. I might need some more money added to my account so I can get a new headset for my bike, that's broken, too. I was hoping for some brand name stickers like Specialized or Avid and stuff like that, but thanks for the stickers you sent!
I am going to write to Melissa and John today, I should have some free time while my companion plays tennis. They are so nice to do that, I wish I could give them both a big hug!
Isabel is amazing, she would be a great missionary. She never lets pressure get to her! I need that skill! Noah an eagle? Crazy.
How did the chicken house come out? Send some pictures if you can, you guys are great at that stuff! Oh Ellie, she is so great! I don't like to think about it, but she'll be 16 when I come back, holy crap. I'd love if you could send that card out, could you also send out that white and blue shirt that you cleaned all the grease off of? And also the white shorts and the brown shorts would be nice too! I don't have a lot I can wear on P days.
This week was hard, but every week has been hard. I've been trying to put my energy into taking pictures of stuff for you guys, so I'll add them in.
I love you guys!
Isabel: Yea I sang a solo. It was weird, but it was ok. We are not unnatural! He is so weird! WHO HASEN"T SEEN STAR WARS!!! Maybe you're right, I do need to focus on his good qualities. Good luck with the college app! Love you!
Ellie: Good for you! Mountain biking is so fun! Who's bike do you ride? You can ride mine if you want, it might fit you! Keep me updated on how things go! I love you!
