A Lesson in Patience ;)

First things first: If anyone is sending a package between now and May PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE include some nice thick socks, even if I could only use them to sleep in. Winter is coming and coming harder and faster than last year - and I was practically a popsicle last year! I will love you forever to whoever can help me with that :D 

And the (tooth) pain stopped sometime this week - I didn´t really notice it stop. I think I had some food up there, but now I´m brusing 3 times a day because that pain absolutely sucked :/ And that means I´m gonna need to pick up some toothpaste toward the end of this year cux I definitely wasn´t planning on brushing this much when we bought al that paste haha 

That´s an awesome story from the Sis. Miss.! I always try to invite our investigators to an activity first for the same reason, but in CHile that happens about 3 times a year.... (our Mesa sister missionaries invited an investigator to a ward luau the YW put on as a fundraiser, and she felt so welcome and included that she came to church the next day for the first time, and then set a baptismal date)

This week has been stressful for me. On Tuesday a missionary couple (does that make sense in English?) got here to help us with Simi Squad. That´s good news :) Here´s the bad news, followed by more bad news: His wife had to tell him "it´s the green button, Bill" when the phone rang. Other bad news: Trying to capacitate (is that a word? from mom: No, Daylon. the word is explain :) ) to them how to use a system that, in all honesty, is super complicated and having to tell them that if they do it wrong they could send the Bishop´s records out of the ward. All that I get to teach without it being taught to me. And I thought the Lord said "Seek not to declare my word, but first seek to obtain my word". Then again, how to use a search engine probably shouldn´t be counted as "His word", right? Haha

Also, there are a few new photos that I´m kinda proud of :)

And, with changes coming up next week: If I ever get assigned to the office or as an AP, Pday is on Saturday, not Monday. Just to give you a warning :)

Lots of love,
