Dear family,
Well I just have to say I’m sad that we couldn’t finish Skyping on Friday. It’s okay though, I was able to focus a lot better after we got off. I had a lot of fun talking to you. I know I sounded a little reserved, it was just overwhelming seeing you guys. I really enjoyed it. I just kept wondering what it is going to be like when I get home. Am I going to be this awkward or am I going to be myself? I can’t help but think I’m going to be just a little of both. Even though it will be nice to be home, it’s going to be hard to adjust. I am more than half way this week and I’m kind of freaking out inside. I just keep asking myself ‘Where did it all go.’ Where did it go? I must be really focused and the days are just flying by.
I can tell you this that the transfer is going by so fast. We are in our fourth week this week. The days are going so fast it’s hard to keep up. I sometimes get confused on what day it is and Sister Patterson just has to say that it’s this day not this one. I just look at her and I’m like dumbfounded. I can definitely say that I have Missionary brain, it comes to what day it is or what to do next.
Funny moment this week. Well there is actually a few. Haha. So Sister Patterson and I were sitting in the car and I suddenly got super tired so I laid down until we had to go to dinner. So I put the seat back and closed my eyes. I must have been really a sleep, because I was apparently talking to Sister Patterson in a full conversation. Then Mike texted us and Sister Patterson didn’t know what to say to him so she gave me the phone and I was totally asleep. I texted him back and it was understandable. That‘s the part is funny. When I woke up I had no idea what was going on or what she was talking about. She just started laughing and I was really confused on why. Haha it was pretty funny. Then later she said that I was saner when I was half asleep more so when I am fully awake and aware of what’s going on around me. It just cracks me up. Gotta love my companion!
Sister Patterson is amazing. There are moments when she irritates me, but I just get over it rather quickly and I don’t dwell on it. There are moments when I just want to be left alone or when we don’t see eye to eye, so we just leave it. She is a chatter box. I like that about her, sometime I can’t get anything in but its okay I don’t mind.
Sounds like you had a fun time putting up that fireplace for Nany. I was really laughing when you told me that you scared Nany. I bet it wasn’t fun for her. I’m glad she liked it, now she can be nice and warm when she is watching TV.
I often wonder how that works too. If they even celebrate the birth of Christ or do they just think it’s a holiday that they celebrate. It baffles my mind that they don’t even know who Christ is. I do know that one day that they will be able to find out who is and why we are here on this earth. That’s the one thing that I’m most grateful for is to know that Christ our savior died for us. Well guys I love you all.! I hope you all have a wonderful week.!
Love Sister Chelsea Blake
