Hello Friends and Family!
Well, what a week it has been!!! We are working so hard here in
Lubbock! I Love it!!
To just start off, I hope I have enough time to type everything
I want to!
Starting with Monday night! The District leaders came to
Brownwood to get all of our bags because, I mean, our little Toyota wasn't going
to get it all over there! So, when they arrive we are asking them WHO IS
COMING TO TAKE OUR PLACE HERE! ALL THREE OF US ARE BEING TAKEN OUT, WHO IS
COMING IN?
One of the ZL’s reply, “We don't know, we will know tomorrow.”
(They had been saying this since last Saturday about “we will know tomorrow.” Kind
of annoying because WE KNOW THEY KNOW THEY KNOW THE NEXT DAY!!) So they tell us
we need to be in San Angelo tomorrow at 6:30… meaning, we have to leave Brownwood
at 4:30-- waking up at 3:30.... Oh, did i mention this is in the AM?!?!?!?!?
WELL -- IT IS! We still have things to do Monday night (cleaning the apt,
setting things up for the new sisters, all that kind of stuff... so we don't
get to bed until 1:30! Therefore, we got about 2-ish hours of sleep. We get up
and we leave. We arrive in San Angelo on time. When we get there the ZL’s tell
us, “Oh you guys are going to drive to REALIZED we aren't being replaced
:/ The Lord is slowly taking missionaries out of Brownwood. Although
that needs to happen. In order for the ward to realize what they have by having
missionaries it breaks my heart.
THEN I WANTED TO KILL ELDER BUCKNUM FOR NOT TELLING US THAT WE
ARN'T BEING REPLACED. THE OTHER ZL WAS TRYING TO TELL US BUT ELDER BLACKBURN
WOULDN'T LET HIM BECAUSE ELDER CRAWFORD WAS BEING RELEASED AND ELDER BLACKBURN
THOUGHT WE SHOULDN'T KNOW...... Needless to say.... our apt is ready for new
sister that AREN'T COMING...... I am still very peeved by this...... At the church
Sister Fife had a break down because she was stressed and angry at Blackburn,
then she was stressed because she was going to have to drive all the way to Hobbs
and she doesn't like driving, so we got permission for me to drive all the way
to Hobbs. So we did. When we got to Hobbs we got on the transfer bus and drove
to Lubbock.
When we got there I was handed a pretty little area book and I
was told that I was going to be driving A BRAND NEW 2014 CHEVY CRUZE WITH 25
MILES ON IT...... I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WHOLE MISSION WHO GOT A NEW CAR
THIS GO AROUND!!!!!!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK HOW CAN THE
LORD TRUST A BABY, 19 YEARS OLD TO HANDLE A BRAND NEW
CAR?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I PRAY EVERY MORNING AND NIGHT AND THROUGHOUT THE
DAY FOR SAFETY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So that is weird..
Sister Turner didn't get here until Thursday!!!! So I didn't get
to see our apt or actually drive our car until Thursday. When she got here we
went to our apt. It was an elder apt before us, but hadn't been occupied in a
while, so it is filthy!! (Neeless to say-- we are going to be cleaning for most
of today!) She is very sweet- we do have the little glitch that she doesn't
understand why she is Jr. Companion again....... I DON'T KNOW EITHER! I WOULD
MUCH RATHER HER BE SR. But, we are getting though that. We have been working so
hard! I have never been more excited for P-Day in my life! I am ready for a
rest .... And by rest, I mean not a rest, but whatever.
We were out on our morning finding on Thursday in the park and
we met this lady named Denise! SHE TOLD US THAT SHE IS SOOOOOOOO UNHAPPY WITH
HER CURRENT CHURCH AND THAT THIS IS HER SECOND SIGN FROM GOD THAT SHE NEEDS TO
LISTEN TO US SO WE HAVE AN APT WITH HER FOR TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!
OKAY SKIPPING TO YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM IN SUCH A FANTASIC WARD!!! WE ARE BASICALLY THE NEWLEY WED/IN COLLEGE
PEOPLE… SO THEY HAVE BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE HAVE ABOUT 40 BABIES IN
OUR NURSERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO we can agree that Sister Dawes has a
very hard time paying attention.............................. That is a problem!
Next problem.......................... Remember how before my mission I felt
that I would be doing something with ASL................. Welllllllllll.........................................THERE
ARE ASL PEOPLE IN THE WARD! SOME THAT ONLY SPEEK
ASL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO SISTER DAWES CAN’T PAY
ATTENTION TO THE SPEAKERS BECAUSE SHE IS STARING AT THE INTERPRITERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT THIS WARD IS SO GREAT! THEY DO THIER CALLINGS AND THEY ARE JUST AWESOME!
AND I JUST LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM VERY HAPPY!!!! THAT IS ABOUT ALL FOR THIS WEEK!
Sister Turner and I are doing well... It is extremely different
with only one companion… there is A LOT MORE silence.... especially without
Sister Clark, but SHE IS IN MY ZONE AND DISTRICT SO WE SEE EACH OTHER ALL THE
TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THAT GIRL SO MUCH!!!!
Hope y’all have such a great week!!!!!!!!
Love
Sister Dawes
