I leave in a week!!!!!!!!!!!! AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is scary. I am pretty sure I am not going to be able to understand anyone when I get to Chile. Awe well...Sometimes when I talk to people in Spanish I think, "Yeah, I am so cool right now I am talking to you in Spanish" and then about 2 seconds later I realize I have no idea how to talk for more than 20 seconds at a time without about 5 minutes of thinking in between. But, that's not really all that surprising since I have only been here for 5 weeks after all...
Anyway, this week I have a funny story to tell; I am kind of excited. I already wrote that I took my skirt to alterations because the hem came undone right? And I will also remind you that the lady I gave it to was not the kindest woman alive and she may or may not have treated me like I was a shameless hussy for coming into alterations to get my hem fixed...So after about 2 maybe 3 weeks I figured, "Hey my skirt is probably done by now I am going to go pick it up!" I went to alterations, picked up my skirt from a much nicer woman, took it to my room, noticed that the slit was sewn down, but the hem was still not sewed up. Then I was like, "What the heck? Why is that lady so mean? All I wanted was my hem to be fixed! Why is that too much to ask? I am a servant of the Lord for crying out loud!" Not really, but that's kind of how I felt. Anyway, it was kind of funny. Apparently she was really concerned about my modesty and it distracted her so much that she couldn't listen to what I was saying to her about the unraveled hem. And apparently everyone else was so worried about my modesty they couldn't see the long flap of cloth coming from the bottom of my skirt. I just think it is kind of ironic. It is also ironic really because as coordinating sister it's my job to tell other girls when they are immodest.
Mom sent me pictures of our family:) My companions were pretty excited to see them. One of them was like, "Wow, I'm so glad you showed us pictures they seem so much more real to me now." So does that mean you didn't really believe me when I told you I had a family? Oh ye of little faith. Haha just kidding, but it was kind of funny. Then my companions asked me about the picture where you are all holding me up and I am the center of attention and they were like, "Why are they all picking you up?" And I was like...uh...I don't know...how did that happen? I think it's because I am the favorite, but I can't really say for sure...haha. Then they told me they didn't really see me being the center of attention, more just the quite peace maker that doesn't fight with anyone and goes with the flow. That was kind of funny too.
I am excited to go to Chile. Except I am scared and it kind of seems unreal...but someone said to me the other day that we only have about 17 more fast Sundays left and I was like, "Oh my goodness that is not very much time..." So I am trying to make the most of everything. It's hard to believe I have already been gone a month.
