2 weeks of Jersey life and loving it.


June 26- July 6th, 2013

Okay family! HELLO. What a crazy time it has been out here! It is literally SOOO hottttt out here it is absolutely insane. It hit 100 degrees with 93 percent humidity.. seriously.. what a joke!

 Ill just start out with not this past Tuesday but the one before! We had district meeting and I got a blessing so that I could learn the language better, it was a nice blessing! I am slowly understanding the language, well some days. Some days I'm like wow I understand and some days I'm like you are kidding what the heck are you all blabbing about!!  Wednesday I fasted for my language! It was  LONG day, maybe just cause i was fasting i don't know but i was out proselyting from 1-9.. holy cow what?!! Thursday was good, it is walking day! We taught an investigator from Peru, which went okay. That Friday I forget what we did I just know that my testimony was strengthen a lot. Everyday it is but especially that one day! 

Saturday we woke up and studied on top of this type of cliff place that over looked like all of new jersey,and we could see the skyline! All of New York! It was very pretty, then after we ran and worked out up there! SO greennn!!! It was kind of hard to study up there though because i would see all the planes take the same exact route to Newark and there was always Southwest planes and i would just sit and look at them, and my companions would be like HEY STOP GETTING HOMESICK! Look at your BOM!! haha cause they know I get homesick when i see the planes!

 Later that night we had a branch activity where we watched these mission videos, of course in Spanish so i had no idea what was going on, and everyone was there and the ward mission leader asked me to bear my testimony in front of everyone in Spanish... WHAT?!  I swear i was going to throw up right then! haha but I did it, it was short and sweet! Sunday was a good day! We had mission council in the morning.. and guess who got asked to speak the next sunday.. yeah ME!! So whoop there it goes! haha They are going to be laughing so much on Sunday cause I don't know a thing! 

Dad you should tell me when you fly to Newark like the day and time sometime so I can find you in the sky!!! That would be fun :)  So I had a lot of time to day dream on Sunday for some reason, and the only things i was to do when i get back is go on a date with dad, go to cross fit and Costco with mom, I actually WANT to play tennis with bubba, Shocking I know, Baby I just want to be with you all the time,and Lexi... i just was to talk for hours about everything we have done! In reality I just want us to watch family movies together and be together 24/7 if you ask me what heaven sounds like right now, that is what i would say!! 

In all seriousness! My favorite thing about mission conference was when Elder Packer said," I know Him" WHAT!!! I feel like all the apostles are admitting that they have seen Jesus Christ! That means either they are dying, which in this case i feel like elder packer is dying OR that the Second Coming is literally right around the corner!!

 So sorry I couldn't email on Monday! It was so crazy the whole doctor thing was craZy long and then we had a skit practice as a zone for the all mission party! Umm So my ear is okay it is definitely pretty much healed but now it is my jaw, so i am on a liquid diet... yeah it is so fun. not. If it is an infection which is a possibility which is very low, then I would have to see a dentist.. BUT seriously don't worry about anything family, I'm in the Lords hands :) 

Tuesday was just another day of proselyting, I ate So much food. We had back to back food apts... The second person fed us a very common dish in Peru where she is from, it was a layer of potatoes with a layer of mayonnaise then a layer of mayonnaise and tuna mixed with a layer of potatoes with a layer of mayonnaise... please tell that doesn't just sound like SO DELICIOUS to you as well? Oh and a half of a plate of white rice... Then Wednesday was the party! ALL the missionaries in New Jersey Morristown Mission all got together and we played volleyball, football, soccer, kickball, and dodge ball! After we all performed skits had lunch, and then heard from the Manhattan Temple President! I saw Evan there, and Braden of course! It was very fun our mission president is SO fun!!! 

Okay Yesterday.. WOW such a long day!! I was In New York City! We drove to Jersey city and hopped on the metro to the 9/11 Memorial cite where we got tickets and walked around, it kind of made me homesick because i saw exactly where we stood and took a picture in the church across the street where the cemetery was? Do you remember? Then after we went to the memorial cite. We went and hopped on the metro and went to the temple for 6 hours!!!!!!!! ! It is SO PRETTY!!! Oh my goodness we all have to come back and go :) After we hopped on the metro and went to time square!! Brought back some good ol memories!! Then we went back to Jersey city, went to applebees, and then drove home!!! SUCH A LONG DAY! but i LOVED it! Today is Friday, and it is SO HOT but I'm still doing the normal stuff just teaching the gospel! OH also i get to go to Ellis island on Monday for orientation so we can work!! WE GET TO WORK THERE SOON!! Sister Dunning told me she talked to you mom, she is literally the FUNNIEST lady ever!!! I know you are with all the Jorgz fam in Wisconsin, and i couldn't be more jealous!! TELL EVERYONE I LOVE THEM! I THINK ABOUT THEM NO JOKE ALL THE TIME.!!
