Well, before I start I need to add a few things to the list that I sent of things I need. I need a gray, a black, and a dark green sharpie. Because the laundry machines here hate me, I have been struggling with my clothes. Luckily there is an alterations place here that only charges 50 cents per piece of clothing to fix them so they take care of the holes that keep appearing in my sweaters and my pajamas. But, a lot of the elders use bleach on their white shirts and garments, but I think a lot of them don't really know how to use it so I have somewhat miniscule bleach spots that I now have on a gray skirt and a green sweater. It makes me moderately angry. Anyways so I would really appreciate some sharpies to reduce the noticibality of the spots.
As far as other things, this last week I was called as coordinating sister for our zone, which sounds a lot cooler than it actually is. I am supposedly kind of like the zone leader for the sisters, but after Sister Jonescheit leaves on Monday it will just be me and my companions. So I am coordinating sister of two sisters, whoopdeedoo. It also means that I have to attend weekly the most time-wasted meeting I have ever been to. I was excited until I realized that the whole thing is each of 14 or so coordinating sisters stand up and gives a report of whether the toilets are working. It is pathetic. On the other hand I do get to attend branch council on sundays, so I hope that meeting will be a little more eventful.
Supposedly my district is getting Travel plans next Thursday. In case you have forgotten I am leaving the MTC on June 6. I am so super excited and I am confident that when I leave I will not be able to communicate with a single person. So it is a good thing I am speaking to souls and not people.
Because my zone is in the "Pilot Program" each district now has one of the "training coordinators" training with our teachers. It is actually really lame because our training coordinator is not as effective in teaching the way we've been taught, but I guess that's what he is here to learn.
Our training "training coordinator" 's name is Bryton Beesley. He actually served in Ecuador under President Caldwell and loved him. I also met another person who served with President and it was either a Brother Wood or a Brother Twigg. I don't remember because we had these two subsititutes consecutively and they both had tree names, but it was one of the two.
So this next week us Hermanas will be going off campus quite a bit. Even though we have already had two chiropractor appointments for me (I'm all done with those by the way) and a dentist appointment for Hermana Taggart, Hermana Taggart has at least four more doctor appointments in the next week for specialists and stuff. Hermana Kimball and Hermana Taggart had swollen tonsils, but Hermana Taggarts were much worse, it was kind of weird only one side was swollen, but she didn't really want to go to the doctor. But Hermana Kimball tricked her into going with her. The doctor didn't really adress Hermana Taggart's throat, but is sending her to the surgeon because she has weird humongous bumps on her arms. He is sending her to an orthopedic specialist because her feet have been bothering her. And she may have to go to a neurologist for her constant headaches and dizziness. Hopefully Hermana Kimball and I can go on splits and take turns going with her to her appointments. Otherwise I am never going to learn spanish.
This week we had new mail time restrictions placed upon us. Because mail time was becoming a distraction 5 times a day, our district leaders can now only get the mail once a day and give to us just before bedtime. It is kind of sad, but it is also probably better in a way. The only exception is packages.
So my district loves to watch mormon messages during nighttime planning, so I want to encourage all of you to watch some of our favorites:
Hope Ya Know I had a hard time
Good things to come
Lessons I learned as a boy
Choose you this day
Mormon messages are awesome, it is kind of funny though because the elders get in trouble for watching them during the day. Kind of funny when you get chastized for mormon messages, it is just a different world here.
Out of time,
Much love!
Hermana Evans
PS I was asked my first name to day and it took a solid 30 seconds to remember it.
