BABY BOY FISHER. I AM GONNA BE AN AUNT EEEEEEEEEEP. Gah. I just had to get that off my chest real quick as if you all haven't already heard but I am just so excited for Lindsey and McCallin. EEP. I better get a billion pictures. I need play by plays. gah.
okay. I am done. I will atempt to keep my caps lock off for the remainder of this email and catch you up on some missionary work... Although I am having some major writers block on what to tell you this week so I apologize in advance.
When you picture missionaries what do you think of? White shirts and ties going door to door... maybe a few lessons here and there? Yeah... me too. That's missionary work right? I had a major mission culture shock when I actually became a missionary and realized how much missionaries really do behind the scenes... So that is why you are so tired? You have the whole ward on your back right now? I would have never guessed. But yeah. Just appreciate the missionaires you see and give them a nice thank you and some vegetables or something. They will love you.
I really think I have a problem. I love people too much. I love this gospel too much. And then you combine the two? Ooo.... it's rough. I just want everyone to listen and accept this all. It will change your life it really will. Just give it a chance. Try it. Experiment with me. Please? I think some people have this wall and you just gotta get a little bit of your glow in there and then bam. It all comes crumbling down. Sometimes it is a little tricky to get through that initial wall. Reminded me of that song.. 'American Women stay away from me. American Women mama let me be don't come knocking at my door...' Really. That describes us American sister missionaries so well. Just picture me and Sis. T walking down the street to the beat of that song and everything. Yes. You can go ahead and give me a little pity laugh right about now. hehe
Raphael. (Here's your update from all of you who have been waiting for this for months now.) He is wonderful. As usual. He came with us to Aiyana's baptism and was just the happiest person ever. We asked him to describe what he felt there and he told us how somethimes he would look around and feel like he was in heaven. We sang a hymn talking about Christ and his Atonement and he asked me for a copy of it and has been practicing it everyday. He just kept singing it all the day long and still every time I see him he just beams and sings it some more for me. He told us about how he has been studying charity and we didn't even ask him to read this week. He is so prepared. He is so strong. He just needs to realize how much he already knows. Seriously I don't know how I love him so much. It is gonna rip my heart to pieces if I have to leave these people....
