Hello!
My final week in Obregon:
-On night while knocking
on the door of a recent convert his neighbor was outside playing the guitar and
singing. I tried to ignore it, because really it was like a romantic movie
scene, which I do not have time for, but then I realized that he was playing
and singing "I Did it My Way." Then I wanted to go give him a high
five. I didn't, but I considered it.
-I was a bit dehydrated
that week (only the beginning symptoms, and I'm fine now, so no worries) so I
called the mission president's wife and she told me what medicines to take, as well
as foods that I should eat and ones that were prohibited until I got better,
which was pretty much everything delicious. On that list was "anything
with dairy" and I all of the sudden understood what Brain Regan meant when
he said "and no more happiness." Then when we went shopping, I went
to the juice aisle with the juice people (and my companion) and watched the
people in the dairy aisle with their party hats. (If you don't understand what
I am saying, go look up Brian Regan on YouTube and watch his clips until you do.)
-Things I like about
being an adult:
I can eat chicken
nuggets with my yogurt and pears if I want to, and no one can tell me no >:)
-I bought myself a hand
fan. It is the best 22 pesos I have ever spent.
Also, it was really hard
to say goodbye to friends here in Obregon (the first time I actually cried
about transfers). I had to say goodbye to one of my besties, Hna Brown. We're
cholas together. That is a very special bond. Also, she's from Baytown, TX,
which was part of Ben's mission, so extra cool points there.
There were more sad
goodbyes, like with my former companion Hermana Hernández, but I don't wanna
talk about that, because it's sad.
This week in Guasave:
-I can't escape it: I am
once again the English teacher. Funny story – I don’t know how to teach
English. So I just make it up.
-After writing last week
we bought ice cream cones and then got to work. We went to set up an
appointment with someone and it turns out that they work in a gym so that's
where we had to go to set it up. Guess who felt like a fatty eating ice cream
while others were working on the elliptical.
-This has been another
week of big spiders – I found one one night on the back area/patio and another
one last night in the house. I took pictures but they are yicky so I won't send
them. You’re welcome.
-While flipping through
an old conference issue of the Liahona, I found this:
Guess who now wants to
do family history more than ever (for those of you that don't know, my mom's
maiden name is Wickman).
Other random notes: It's
hot again. It rained today. I like spicy food. I successfully have avoided
eating cow stomach three times this week. I pretty much want to read everything
I can get my hands on.
That's all for now.
Love you all!!
Hna Anderson
