Emily and her companions!

Heyo my awesome famawee! How are you all? It sounds like life is still going just great! It has been a month! I didn’t even realize that until someone told me on the 22nd! Crazy! Oh my blisters are better mostly. I just have tons of itchy bug bites!

Here’s a few questions:

1-What do you do on P-day? Been to the beach?

1. We went to the beach once on P-day! But we mostly just clean, email, grocery shop and hang out with the other missionaries. I love P-days they are great! I need to get some souvenirs…. I heard that people regret not getting some from the places they go to.

2-Do you walk everywhere you go? I thought you said you walked and walked? Or do you drive? both?

2. No we have a car 🙂 BUT that day when we walked and walked our car was being worked on in the shop… Usually for contacting we just park the car and walk though.. But our area is way too huge to not have a car. And it is probs not super duper safe!

3-Where does your ward/branch meet? and how many members are there? How many missionaries in your area/district?

3. We meet in a branch.. There are about 50 active members but at church there is usually less.. Church is SO different here… The doctrines are the same but there just aren’t many people and they all just give their two cents whenever they please in the middle of class! It’s just funny… It weirded me out at first but it’s chill!

4-Does your mission pres and wife have any children still at home?

4. Ummmm… I think all of their kids are older.. I actually don’t ever see them. I’ve only really spent time with them once. With the different islands here it is too hard. So we have like a senior couple on each island that we check in with. I do email President M. every week but I don’t know much about that… Sorry!

5-Do you and your companions share equally in the teaching experience?

5. Yes we have a goal to be very unified and we are doing well. We all teach great together! But Sister C. is leaving this Wednesday and so me and Sister T. will need to re-figure teaching out. I think it’ll be fine 🙂

6-How long have your companions been out? 

6. My companions have been out for over 3 months! That’ll probably happen to me.. But it’s fun! We are all learning together.

7-Have you received a letter yet? from me?

7. I have not received any letters yet! Hopefully soon!

8- What is the biggest challenge to missionary work where you are?

8. The people and their life styles…. They all have a chastity and word of wisdom problem… It is pretty rough…

9-Does it rain a lot? Is there a rainy season?

9. It does rain a lot…. Because right now it is rainy/hurricane season! I love the rain though. It is fun and it cools us down! It is still very hot and sunshiney too 🙂

10-What did you buy at the Shell station?

10. I don’t remember! OH! I bought a bottle of water but I had to spend a certain amount of money so she charged in on my card and then gave me the change back 🙂

11-Do the senior couple serving near you have a blog? email address? 

11. I’ll have to check with them and let you know ok??

12- Have you figured out how to send pictures yet? I think you should sent one now and again on the computer. 

12. I just sent some pictures so I hope you liked them. Things are not very high tech here so it is very hard. I won’t get to send them very often… The internet is really slow and it’s rough.

Hahahahaha mom…. That is so funny that you are creeping on me. I died of laughter. Sorry I have limited time and the internet is slow that it takes up a lot of time. I hope you had fun being the toothfairy! You are so cute. Sorry I am going to have to keep it pretty short today. But I love you so darn much and hope I answered all your questions 🙂

Daddy: That’s awesome about your missionary experience!!!!!! 🙂 I have those everyday 😉 I love it out here. It is hard but AWESOME to be a missioanry.

Anyway I will write a letter with things that happened this week. That is the bad thing about picture is then there is less time to email! I’m doing great. I love it here so much. Life is great! I LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

After a long day!
