The Blind Leading the Blind

Buenas tardes fam!! 

      I am coming to you live from good ole West Kolob (West Columbia). We are really close to the mission home. I am doing sooooooo good. 

      I LOVE HERMANA BECHTOLD. I am so so so so happy. We get along very well and we get along so well. There have been several times where we just look at each other like... wow... this is so nice. I really like you. Hermana Bechtold is awesome. I love her so much. Is it possible to love her too much? I will keep you updated. She's from South Dakota and she's been out for about a year. We are the same person. Our lives have just been very similar and it's been a fun 5 days! We are the blind leading the blind with the calling to be STL's. Tomorrow we are going to MLC and it'll be good hahah. As an STL we are over the other sisters in the zone, it will probably be exchanges about once a week or sometimes every other week. We are only slightly over the other Spanish hermanas in the mission and as of now I won't be returning to old areas but we will see what presidente says.

     You will be happy to know that I am alive, and do not have bad news. My knee is doing a lot better!! A LOT. I have been wearing the brace that John gave me every day and it's been helping tons. It is still a little swollen where the bruise is at. It's doing much better and the swelling has gone down a ton. I have really tried to rest it, I sat out during soccer night this week. I have just been praying it would heal. I feel stable! I can walk normally on it. I am not quite comfortable jumping on the treadmill and jump rope, but I feel like in the next couple days I could. I will do better about icing it and elevating it while in the apartment!

     West Kolob is awesome and I understand where the nickname comes from!! We have a branch and it's just full of so many awesome members. At church, it was the primary program, so you can imagine that I died! All day I just felt like I was 100% exactly where I needed to be.      When we came for the hurricane a couple months ago, I really felt strongly that I was going to finish my mission here, but didn't know if it'd ever happen, God is good people!!

      It's been a good week and I have just been trying to get to know all of the members and the people we are currently teaching and it's been really good!

I love being a missionary and Heavenly Father is so aware of us and who we are and our needs. I LOVE Y'ALL!!!
