Family -
Hello! How are you all? Wow! Today is a very busy day. We have been running errands all day and I also got into a total cleaning mood today and spring cleaned the flat (it's actually winter here!) But I scrubbed the floors on hands and knees, moved around all the furniture etc. It looks quite nice in here.
This has been a pretty good week. I've been mad at my companion most of the time for an assortment of reasons. Shame, she really does try! She is always asking me what she can change. She's never had a companion who would be honest with her. They would all just ask for transfers and stay quiet. She asked me to go see her therapist with her. She wants me to tell her (her therapist, Marge) the problems I encounter. So this should be interesting. I'm not too crazy about it, but if it will help Sis. Tolman and our companionship, I'm more than willing to do it.
Well, on the brighter side, one of the guys that Sis.Merkley and I found and taught is getting baptized this next week. I'm sure I've told you abut him. His name is Michael Tarr, he's quite strange. The funny thing is, even though he is seriously quite insane, I miss teaching him! I'm so happy for him that he's getting baptized! It will be the best thing for him.
Johan and Leslie are getting married this Saturday. I'm really excited because Leslie asked me to do her make-up for her. She's never worn make-up before, so she doesn't know how to put it on. We are having a little make-up party with her and also Ruth, one of her best friends who we are also teaching. I'm excited.
It's funny because my vainess is wearing off on my companion. Most of the Sisters here just have the attitude of "hey, I'm on mission, I'm not going to worry about how I look" My companion has probably been one of the worst at that, but a few weeks ago, she asked me to do her make-up and hair. She looked awesome! I did and I think she really liked it. Today she went and bought make-up and stuff for her contacts which she hasn't worn in month. It's just really funny. I think it is good because, true, we are not here to impress guys or anthing, but we still need to look nice and impress our investigators.
That's cool about Amy's roommate! I'll write her today. It seriously is a possibility that I will train her. Remember I told you about the rumor. She's the one it was referring to (well, basically, just the next Sister to come. We thought it would be May, but now it is June???) Anyhow, I don't know if I'll train her, but chances are good seeing that a lot of the Sister here are going home soon and there are a couple just new Sisters, so there are about 3 other Sisters that could train and 2 of those are already training now, So, I don't know, we will see!
We met some really cool guys today. They are from Zimbabwe! They are so cool! They are golden! They asked us what made us decide to come on mission and Sis. Tolman bore her testimony. One of the guys said, "Wow, I could really feel the Spirit when you were telling me that" We about died! We just met them outside of the post office. They travel back and forth between Zimbabwe and South Africa. When they are here in Durban they stay out of our area so we'll have to send the Elders to teach them. I'm jealous! :)
There are a couple of families that are from there who are coming to Utah in the next 6 months or so. The first is the denDulks. Loriann their 16 year old daughter is moving there to finish H.S.. They are bringing her over. Sister denDulk is going to come meet you. She's very funny! She's an interesting lady. She is so cool to the missionaries. She really takes care of us and she is so funny! You'll like her. The second family is the Groves, they are coming or going over for General Conference in October. They are RAD! They totally remind me of Bob and Sondra. I want them to come meet you. They promised they'd at least phone, they'll only be there for a weeks or so. The denDulks will be there for 2 months or so. Anyhow, when the Groves phone please invite them for dinner or something, you will love them!
Well, I had better go. Oh!, By the way! You can buy these aero-grams at the post office. They are a lot cheaper to send. You might want to look into it. I love you all very, very much. Thanks for your letters, they make my day! The Gospel is true!
Love,
Michelle :)
