Welp the mission practically exploded this week, and I was relatively unharmed. We got 10 new sisters (plus a bunch of Elders but I am less than concerned about them), so most people are training. Fortunately, Sister Szuch and I stayed the same- we have a lot going on in Waterloo, plus we are working on revamping the referral system at the Visitors' Center and will be presenting a training in a few weeks. Staying together makes all of that quite a bit easier. None of those going home in 6 weeks are training, but everyone else is. I escaped! Haha. Ha. Ok. Did I mention all 10 are under the age of 21? It's fun.
So Sister Adams is still living with us in the vortex of insanity with her trainee, Sister Tipton from Payson, Utah. She is sweet. And 19. It hasn't even been a full 6 months since the announcement was made that 19 year olds could serve, and already these sisters have voluntarily put everything aside to come! It's astounding, really. There are all amazing. I'm sad by the time I leave they'll only be halfway through training. I had a rough moment where I realized I was leaving that soon and it was harder than I expected. There are days like that. I just can't think like that though- I've been given a certain amount of time to do this work, and I need to be satisfied with that. After my time is up, I need to go and do other things. I don't want to live in the past when I can't be a missionary anymore.
Not to be boring or anything, but I'm fairly uninspired as to any rants today....and those we're teaching are pretty much steadily moving along. Nothing crazy in my life, just working hard and being happy. Today I am tired of hearing my own voice. I would much rather read and hear things from other people. So I will try and write more next week.
Till then!
