This week I started by telling her about all of our fun and crazy activities but that they keep the little ones up too late while they are still in school and they get ornery.
Man... life there sounds pretty crazy. Why are all the kids so
grumpy all the time? Life is supposed to be awesome during the summer, right? (:
It's flippin hot here. I sweat so much but I think for the most part my body is
getting used to the humidity I'm just always shiny. Also... this is random and
weird but something that just proves i'm not in Utah. When you pick up the
shampoo bottle out of the shower (even if you haven't been in the shower for 12
hours) it is always still wet. The water is just... everywhere! It's pretty
cray. Anyway. Gym Rats's cookies he sent are almost gone and Drama Queen's watch is
beautiful and I named Sport's turtle Johnny and he sits on my desk while I
study. We ate the chocolate bar last night and I'm going to use the cheese and
breadsticks when we teach the Molina's and Gertie's family their FHE lessons.
They love us when we bring treats.
Oh, I forgot to tell you she got the second package we shipped for her birthday.You probably figured that out already.
I was so excited when I got my birthday package... and I was reading all of
the awesome pink cards. (I loved them so so much) and then... I cried when I
read Dog Walkers's. I was so overcome by how much I missed him. I hope he's doing
well. I love all of my siblings, but I never really fully appreciated how much I
love my little autistic brother.
The Dog Walker burned her some new CDs for her birthday from our media player. She wanted some for when they were in the car. He wanted to send her his
latest acquisition, but I thought probably not. He bought the 4th grade
program...Utah, This is the Place CD and he was so excited about it. You know,
Iron Wheels a Rollin'...
baha. That's awesome. I don't think that woulda been missionary
appropriate, but Sister Gentry and I love the CDs he did send. We've been jammin'
to the MOTAB As I Went Down to the River to Pray. I think we listened to it 4
times in a row.
That sounded like typical Teach! But she is growing up in so many ways. She has finally realized something I have known all along.
As a missionary... I've learned to really truly fall in love with my family.
Family is the only important thing.
Then she dropped this bombshell.
President called last night and certified me to drive. Eek! If you
ask me I'll likely be staying in this area next transfer. Possibly training, but
we'll see. It's cool. I like living in the ghetto.
GHETTO!!???
Yeaaaaah... It's pretty ghetto around these parts. (: But it's
cool. Sister Karratti left me her pepper spray can. We love the people here.
There are some crazy ones, but they're awesome. We are SO protected as we are
obedient and follow the Spirit. Don't worry about me. (:
How can I not worry? I'm a mom...that's my job!
But she isn't worried, she is even planning our return trip for us after she comes home.
I'm so excited for us all to come to Ft. Worth in the summer of
2015. It's not TOO far away, but you get to come see all the awesome places and
hopefully you'll even get to meet awesome people.
We are excited about that too, but mostly we are excited to see one awesome person again...one with blond hair and the most brilliant blue eyes...

Hearing about Teach as a missionary brings back memories for me... except I didn't serve in Texas - and the only thing I "drove" was a bicycle! Okay maybe I did drive my companions crazy, does that count?
Yes the Lord does protect the missionaries, IF like she said they are "obedient and follow the Spirit." Thanks for sharing mission tidbits!! :o)
