So my whole district will be leaving on Monday, and I won't be reassigned a new companion till Wednesday. That means I get to hang out with the two other sisters who are in our district. I will attend their meetings (which are in dutch :) ) it should be interesting. I won't have a teacher so I will be studying on my own and picking up what ever I can from the other classes. I don't really know what the visitor center training will entail but I do know I will get to go to Salt lake at some point. The sisters I will be with are really nice and fun but I will miss my sisters especially Sister Brendlinger.
Oh we had a health meeting the other day and the man conducting was 85 years old he got off topic a lot and seemed to enjoy our discomfort, he made jokes about diahrea and nose picking. He went over by thirty minutes which can really throw a missionary off. He ended the meeting by playing his harmonica for us. He was a funny old guy but I wouldn't ever want to have a meeting like that again.
Apparently a couple of weeks ago temple walks were band because missionaries were having picnics, and running across the temple grounds as well as picking flowers and all sorts of other things. I'm really glad that our Elder aren't that immature. They like to have fun but for the most part they know when to get to work. I forget sometimes that they are only 19.
Oh here's something funny. I thought that being a missionary I wouldn't have any boy troubles but that's not true. I was doing my laundry last week and an interesting elder leaned on my companions washer with his elbow and said " so are you new here? I haven't seen you before. I notice you at gym and thought you must be new" I felt really awkward because I was washing all my stuff and I wasn't engaging in the conversation. Luckily we left, but the next day he found me at gym and was talking to me and said I was really anti social because I didn't talk to him in the laundry room. I told him I felt awkward talking with him there and he didn't really understand why. He finds me occasionally and talks to me and my companions help me out by getting me out of there. Its pretty funny when ever anyone in our district sees him they say watch out there's your boyfriend. Very awkward, I don't know what to say to him to get him to leave me alone without being completely rude. :)
Oh I have been taking exercise classes in the morning. They start at 6 so we have to wake up earlier to get ready to go. they have things such as Pilate's, yoga, aerobics, kickboxing, toning and stretching and steps. They are pretty intense and really hard to wake up for but they are pretty helpful for getting in shape, it is actually a lot like the wii stuff just faster.
I just want to let you all know how simple the church is really. If you gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon everything else falls into place. Because if you have read and pondered the book of Mormon and asked with a SINCERE heart and a true DESIRE to know if it is true you will receive a witness. And if the Book of Mormon is true Joseph Smith was a true prophet and he organized the only true church on the earth. A false prophet cannot bring about a true book or a true church. So since he was a true prophet which I will testify that he was, we are still receiving revelations from god. And if we follow what god wants for us to do we will return to live with him.
Reading the scriptures as if you are going to teach it so someone who doesn't understand it make SO many more things stand out and makes the scriptures very interesting. It brings out more questions that you have to make you self under stand so you can talk to others about it. And just because you might not have someone to teach it to doesn't mean you shouldn't talk about what you have learned to others.
I love you all and would hope that you can all feel the love of god as strongly as I do. And I know that if you ask for it you will receive it.
