this weeks quote is by yours truly. i hate to be vein, but let me explain.
sister porath and i went to a chinese place a while ago. it looked pretty legit, and i ordered chow mein. i most definitely did not get chow mein. it was the grossest thing i've ever eaten. awful.
i really should be smarter.
sister porath and i went to a different chinese place yesterday and i ordered... chow mein! maybe this place actually knows what chow mein is. noodles with good stuff in it and the works. NOPE! they don't know what chow mein is. maybe cam can help me understand why i always get soggy cabbage and sprouts and onions with nasty mc nast nast stringy chicken. i don't get it. but no more chow mein.
all this just made me think of the wonderful food that would be waiting for me at home at the end of a mission... yum. mom, i can't wait to eat your food again. and i was thinking about the pork with the apricots thing, and i was craving it. so so good. i love you for making up recipes.
okay! this week has been a little difficult. the hardest part about missionary work for me is seeing the people who know what its like to feel the spirit, and feel the peace that comes from reading the Book of Mormon, but continue to do the same old things and just won't follow through with their commitments. extremely hard for me to see happen.
we met this amazing woman named Robin this week. she is the most prepared person i've ever met. we were with her for quite a while, and invited her to church, she said she's come. this was friday night. she told us to call her saturday, and we did, and she had been reading and on sunday morning she would come. we had to meet her and show her the way, but it was set. sunday morning she called and cancelled on us. it was the hardest thing for me to deal with as of yet. i feel extremely connected to her and it just hurt my heart. its been an up and down week, but such is life.
what else... i started driving yesterday. sister porath just wants to see if her headaches come back. she's been driving since week 4 of her mission. so now i'm driving for a bit. and its nice to have a little bit of control.
things are well. i'm so excited for alexa. i'll have to get her address on sunday so i can write her.
sunday! i'll probably call around 7pm my time. 4pm your time. we're supposed to keep it to about 30 to 40 minutes. sister porath is calling her family at 8:30. we'll be at the branch mission leaders house and it will be great. sorry, but no skype. our district leader asked President Winegar and its not approved. but i think it will be better cus then we can just talk. and it will be nice. so, we'll talk to you then.
dad, yes, brother weaver is a teacher in the mtc.
i gots to go. love you all!
keep praying for missionary opportunities!
love love love love love
