wow! there is so much to talk about, i don't even know
where to start! my missionary president and his wife are awesome! i love
them alot! i got my companion last week on wedesday and her name is
sister young. she is really nice but very boring, which is kind of hard
because i am definitely not boring! but i like her. i am serving in
Richland right now. the apartment i am staying in is so nice but i all
the water there smells like sulfer and it makes the whole apartment
smell like rotten eggs and when you shower the smell is overwhelming and
you just want to puke but everything else is really nice :) i guess
when the transfer happened the missionaries split wards and now we just
cover the desert hills ward instead of two wards. so the work in our
ward is kind of dead so we have been tracting alot! my very first door
that i went to, they slammed the door in my face and pretty much every
door after that did the same to haha. it kind of suprised me that people
would be so mean to sweet little sisters but oh well :) i do not get
down when this happens because i am just too excited to be out and going
and doing what the lord wants me to do! on saturday after a long day of
tracting we finally reached our last door. when the man answered the
door we figured he would probably just slam the door in our faces like
everyone else, but he didn't! instead he was very very nice! we asked
him if he has heard about the missionaries and he said yes, and that
they come over sometimes and give him pamphlets to read, but he said
that they have had family problems lately and thats why they have not
come over lately. which confused us but he said he was interested and we
invited him to church and he said he might come with hid two kids and
we were so excited! we told him we would save him three spots in
sacrament! we also scheduled a lesson with him for saturday. i was so
excited! i could not wait to see him and his family on sunday! but at
2:00 in the morning yesterday i was not feeling well and i started
throwing up! i threw up all night and afternoon so we couldn't go to
chuch :( i was so sad and i felt so bad because i wanted to know if
Orelando and his family came to church! later that day my companion
started throwing up also so we think we got food poisoning from this
nasty ham steak a member fed us. they feed us weird stuff here. i am
pretty sure i am going to be a vegetarian when i get home! i ate fish
the other night! arn't you proud of me?? well i love it here so much! i
love serving the Lord so much. this week has been hard and very
different then what i thought it would be like but i know that i can do
anything with the Lord on my side and that everything will be okay.
it sounds like everything at home is going really well! that is so cool
that Gabe is passing the sacrament. i am so proud of him and i loved the
pictures you sent of him! he is so adorable! that is so cool that your
being a missionary mom! that is one thing that were trying to do here is
trying to get the members involved in missionary work! i am so excited
that kiana is leaving on wednesday! well i love you so so so so so much!
i miss you! hope all is well! Love Sister Lindmeir
