oh hey peeps :)
So another week down here in the good ol' country of Linden haha. i cant believe it but "yall" just comes naturally, and im pretty sure ive said "fixin" and "reckon" a couple times without knowing haha. im starting to become a southern boy.
So this week was a lot better then last week, for one reason, it was my birthday!! woohoo!!! thank you all for the packages and food and ties and cards!! i loved em all!! its crazy, i started my mission with only like 10 or so ties, and now im half way threw my mish, and i have about 30+ ties haha. its great. idk why, but missionaries love ties. so thank you for all the ties i got for my birthday :) i love em all!!
So yesterday after church, we went with Bro. ______ to go see some people in the nursing home. we go there and do the sacrament for them. it was crazy, i took the sacrament 2 times on sunday haha. They got special permission to do that. While in the nursing home, we went and visited other members of the church that were in there but couldn't come to take the sacrament. and there is a lady in there that is 102 years old!!!! it was crazy! and she was just sitting in a chair watching t.v. she can still feed herself and everything. but bro. _____ helped her and fed her for a lil, then we helped also. I fed her some of her tuna sammich, and while she took a bite of it i said, "do ya like tuna fish?" and she ate it and just yelled "NO!" hahahaha. i was like.. "oops my bad, sorry." hahaha. I forgot her name though :( but she LOVES the candy bar 3 Musketeers haha. after eating like all her food (she can put it away for a 102 year old lady) she woofed this candy bar haha. it was so funny. she is the oldest person that has lived in Linden her whole life. crazy.
That is all that im working with really in the linden area, old people haha. Our ward is basically 98% old folks and 1% young parents and 1% kiddos haha. so funny. but oh on sunday, sister ______ walked in and handed me a cake and a card and said happy birthday. she said she was sorry that she was late, but i looked at the cake and i was like "is this German Chocolate cake?!?!" and she said, "yup!" i told her that this cake is like my favorite cake ever, i almost have it every birthday. so i was pretty excited. Sister _____ is like a pro baker, no joke. she does it for a living. so every sunday we have like 3 loaves of bread, and some sammichs and all that. its great haha. there is good food down here in the south thats for sure. :)
i started to put on some pounds haha. but ive stopped drinking soda, and just drink water, and starting to eat more healthy haha. oh man what i would do for a chicken Cesar salad from corner bakery hahaha. its stinks though, the only thing we have in the linden area is sonic, and i can tell ya, im getting sick of sonic hahaha. but our trailer is packed with tons of food! so we are doing good. i hope all is going well back in cali!! i love yall!! everytime i wear my palm tree tie i think of cali :) haha. love yall!!
peace out girl scouts.
