Ok so one of the hems on my skirt...or one of my skirt's
hem? I don't know, but the hem came undone on a skirt and so I took it to
alterations to see if they could fix it and all the old ladies here keep
telling me how nice the old ladies are at alterations, but I just don't see
it. I brought in my skirt and the lady looked at me soooooo
sternly. I don't really understand, but maybe she thought I was immodest
or something because she treated me like I was a shameless hussy...which I did
NOT appreciate. After I went in there I really wanted to say, "Look
sister, I am a missionary on the Lord's errand and if you don't want
to help me hem my skirt I will do it myself." Now
whenever the senior sisters tell me how nice those ladies are I
have my doubts. My companions noticed it too, I'm not just being overly
emotional here...Maybe she was just having a bad day...
On Sunday I was called to be the new
coordinating sister. My job is to visit all of the sisters in my zone at
night, talk to the needy ones, tell them if they are being immodest, and go to
meetings...kind of a funny job really...Actually I do the orientation for new
missionaries so that actually is kind of important so that the new sisters
don't feel scared. It's really funny because I feel like the people that
have been here a week are so much more experienced than me, and I feel like I
am more experienced than the girls that came a week after me...we count our age
in number of days at the MTC...
IMy companions (I am in a threesome) and I are getting along really well.
Except one of the districts got broken up and I have a different companion
during class this week and then my normal companions during the rest of the
time. Weird right? I don't really like it just because I don't like
switching back and forth but it is only for a week...which in MTC terms is like
a month, but still. It is good for me to experience teaching with just
one other companion instead of two. But when they asked for a volunteer
from my companionship to leave the companionship it felt like the Hunger Games
and after I volunteered we were all like, "I volunteer as
tribute!" It was kind of funny. I am doing so much better with
my companions and we have been growing a lot together.
Ok my time is up I've got to go. I will try to hold back
on my awesomeness so that people won't be intimidated;)
