Wow! I look beautiful in these pictures! mom, I do not look like this anymore. I am giving you a heads up so you will recognize me haha. but that's ok. please look for things to help me grow hair when I come home :) it's nice to have hair.
And I know this will sound so cheesy, but you look beautiful in that picture collage thing abbey sent. Sorry. I don't mean to just talk about appearances. But you look great! Just have patience with me when I come home. I literally feel a little unworthy to walk around with our family. Which sounds so pathetic, and I don't mean it to be dramatic. just an observation :) Jack will kick me into gear. It's funny, because when I get into the shower, I don't feel bad about my body. It seems pretty similar to how it used to be. But clothes ruin me. Maybe it's just missionary clothes getting old. that's probably it. and the rice cheeks never help. We will not eat rice in Nevada. it's not necessary :) we will eat boiled salad :)
Sorry, too much information. I just don't have much to say today! We have temple day today, so p-day was pushed back a couple days. So I'm thinking back on the last 2 weeks and it's too much to remember. We're teaching a professional yo-yo-er. He's awesome! He's halfway through the Book of Mormon, and it's only been 2 weeks. Isn't that awesome!? He gave me and Sister Robinson really nice yo-yo's and taught us a few tricks. We're working on it...get some respect?! but they're metal, so when they hit our hands, it kills. He'll come to church though will a briefcase full of yo-yo's and it will distract the entire ward, so the first hour (R.S, Elders....) is always delayed in starting because all the teachers or leaders will be yo-yoing. so we're working on improving that ha. It's fun to see the well aged relief society presented yo-yoing around the church though. It's actually really amusing ha.
What else. Nikki! he's a less active. Has very little recollection of his baptism. It's surprising how many less actives we'll find have no idea what baptism is, and don't remember doing anything like that. We're making sure that doesn't happen anymore. Anyway, hard life kind of guy. He was involved in the black market stuff for a long time, but just changed jobs. Not sure what, but hopefully something better. A truck driver of some sort. Very shaky when he talks. Probably a mixture of all the drugs he's had in his body over the years, and all the hard things he's experienced. Lots of friends have died in the last few years. Just a hard life. I called him up, with no information attached to his name, and he agreed to meet. So we met him with some leaders from our ward, and he remembers learning about Jesus, and remembers his life was happier. He says he has the book of mormon in his room, and he reads it every once in a while and it makes him feel safe and peace, so he likes it. This was the best part ...we asked if he prayed much lately... He asked what prayer was, and then we explained it. He said no. but then he said that when he gets really mad and is about to hit someone, he says a few words and says "amen" and it makes him not want to hit them anymore ha. He really has a great heart. And he believes Christ can make his life better. So he quit his job and came to church on Sunday. He was 2 hours and 45 minutes late haha. but he came!!! it was awesome. And he brought a friend. And he really wants his friend to learn about Christ. They've had tough lives, but they really have good desires and good hearts. Don't worry, we're safe :)
I have to go, but I love you!
Have a great week!
Hannah
