Lexie - June 21, 2014

I have a minute so I'll try and think of some more to say. We've been saying bye to our teachers yesterday and today. It's been really weird and it's so strange to not give them hugs. We've been making lots of cards for people. One of the guys that is here is a real investigator and his name is Javier. He's from spain. He's a professor at some school in Price. He's one of those people that is SO SMART that he'll never be convinced with facts. It would have to be something spiritual, but he also has a hard time with faith. We had to talk to him about why girls don't hold the priesthood and some other weird stuff. He just knows so much. But obviously isn't accepting at this point but since he is working at the MTC with missionaries hopefully that will change. He's a very nice very smart guy. Que mas, Uhm, I'm doing pretty good with my spanish this week. I think it all makes sense slowly but when I'm speaking I can't think quick enough for some of the conjugations it's crazy. I'm super stressed about packing. There is just literally no time in our days to accomplish anything. I know I'll be busy in the field but probably in a little bit different way. We had infield orientation all day on thursday which was just a blurr. It was ridiculous. I dont know how neccisary it was but I guess I learned lots. They talk A LOT about involving members. It's the way missionary work works. It's really kind of cool. So to everyone that's a member of the church, don't rely on the missionaries! Go find and share the gospel yourself! I think that's about it for this week. Lots of just running around and getting things done. Thank you again for the new skirt I love it and it's wonderfully stretchy! Oh so this is funny lol. My companions are weird. I love them but their weird. They are SO CONCERNED with laundry. Maybe that's normal? I don't know. I did 3 loads today and that's weird. I usually just do lights and darks but today I put some of that tide with bleach into my solid whites so I did 3. One of my companions did 6 loads of laundry! Because she is so concerned with mixing things together lol. It kindof cracks me up because I'm pretty sure most of my clothes are going to get destroyed down there or I'm going to give them away. I'm sure at some point. Who knows. Anyways, it makes me laugh. I think I'm ready for a change of scenery with companions. It's a dang good thing I get to marry a boy becuause I couldn't deal with a girl for the rest of my life. No way. I need the laid back thing. Oh dear and Mexico Is probably going to destroy my stomach becuase i think it's already been destroyed here.
