Week Forty-Four: 6/23/2014 to 6/29/2014--Good-bye, my friends...

Hello Everyone!

So yeah, we said good bye to some friends. Specifically Warren and Sherry. And soon we will say good bye to Andrew. That's the not-so-fun part about living on an island/college-town/military base central. So basically, everyone leaves during the summer if they're a college student or in the military. Nbd. We'll still be able to manage. We'll just have to work extra hard this week to find new people. Pray for us! 

Good Bye Sherry! Also the girl on the far left is Chelsea. She's super awesome.

President and Sister Blickenstaff visited this weekend for our Branch Conference. That was pretty odd since we hardly see anyone from our mission, especially President. He sat in on a lesson with Rod and Sister Blickenstaff sat in on 2. One was with Andrew and the  other was with one of our RCs. That was scary but not as scary as you'd think. It's really cool because they are both pretty fluid in Chinese so they understand just about everything in lessons and they can say just about whatever they want. They gave us some really great feedback and we learned a lot!

It's getting hotter. It basically feels like I'm walking around in a life-sized rice cooker. It's not all the way warmed up yet, but it's getting pretty steamy. Blech. Thank goodness our apartment has AC.

Other than that, not much happened this week. We're hoping this week will be more eventful. There's also a possibility I'll move next Monday. Ahhh! That would be really weird seeing other missionaries again. I hope it's not, but it might be my time...

I love you all and I hope you have a fantastic week!

P.S. I'm a David Archuleta[return missionary status] fan. Check out his homecoming interview. That's how my English is going to be when I get home. Prepare yourselves: https://www.lds.org/youth/activities/missionary-work/live-chat-with-david-archuleta?lang=eng
