When You're All Alone in the Country

Tell Ben to send me a picture of the ring! I want to see it :) And if they take pictures of the purposal, I want to see that too! I'm glad that the primary program went well! We're practicing for ours too! I play the piano in primary every week and the kids get pretty into some of them...you can definitely tell which ones are their favorties...Soy de la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Ultimos Dias is always fun to hear haha. I did get the haircut...not the best one ever, but it works. I got one shirt and a long sleeve shirt and one cardigan. They were all out of the other cardigan I wanted so I didn't get that one. There's just limited places to look! Which reminds me, I need to get my contacts figured out since I have no other pairs other than the ones currently in my eyes.

 

This week has been good. It's crazy to think that Thursday is Halloween and then end of October! Friday night our WARD (not branch silly) had a party and it was fun! The kids all looked so adorable and they made me think of all my nieces and nephews. I better get some pictures of them all dressed up. Please! The adults were playing musical chairs and the last two people standing had to race to the chair when the music stopped. Yeah...ended up being not a good idea. One of them bumped into the other and knocked him to the ground and he broke his tibula and ripped the tendon (?) off the bone. OUCH! So the party was fun other than that.

First Beer Offering

It sounds like you had an awesome trip! I've never been to the Midwest...well I guess sort of when we went to Tennesse that one time and drove up to the other states...but that doesn't really count. Know what that means?? It means when I get home, we'll have to take another trip to visit Donna! 8 missionaries is a lot! We have 7 in our ward right now and everytime the members see us all together they comment on how many of us there are haha. EVERY time :) Speaking of breweries...I got offered my first beer this week! Didn't think that would happen on my mission, but the guy we talked to was just very friendly...and also I think he'd been drinking...so he offered us one. We were like...uhh...thanks for being willing, but we are missionaries and we don't drink. It was actually pretty funny! You could tell his friend was just mentally shaking his head at him haha. 

OCTOBERFEST

Things are going well here! Can you believe that tomorrow I'll have been out 5 months! Time sure does fly.The weather is soooo nice! I love it :) I finally can understand why people live here. It makes the summer worth it. I'll probably be whistling a different tune when next summer roles around though! I thought the same things as I watched conference! That it was even cooler because I knew you all were doing the exact same thing I was :) As for shoes, yes my feet are still the same giant feet they've always been, size 10 for me! Occasionally a 9 1/2, but so occaisionally that it's hardly worth worrying about. I did get a cardigan, but I wanted to get one more. I also want some more neutral colored shirts, and some more neutral colored patterened shirts, etc. etc. but that can wait till Christmas or something! I had no idea Kaitlyn was going on a mission! That's awesome! Tell her congrats for me.

 

The End of My Fourth Transfer ...

It's hard to believe, but today is the first day of my fifth transfer! Next week will mark my 5 months! The time just flies by! And it's finally starting to cool off so thank goodness for that :)
