"I felt absolutely terrible about midway through the day on Wednesday, all night, and then Thursday. I woke up and had a fever of 99 then had a fever of 100.6 at about 4....the nurse told me to go to Urgent Care. They told me that I had Strep Throat. Seriously, these things bring me so many problems. I just want them out of my throat!!!
Then on Saturday, we were on exchanges and we did 4 hours of service through the church's program, JustServe. It was fun, we worked in a thrift store and sorted clothes. I love my district! We had a lot of fun!
That same night, Elder Parry, my first zone leader and an Elder that was with me for 6 months in La Joya, came back and visited this ward. We had a potluck and it was good to see him but it was weird to see him. When we got there, we went into the library and got a book we had found earlier in the week called, "From First Date to Chosen Mate". So we wrapped it and gave it to him. SOOOO funny! He was like, "I'm working on it.....it's not going so well." All I could think was....man, that will be me! Will I ever get married? I don't know.
I've had a lot of struggles lately with asking myself, "Who am I?" It sounds so stinking la,e but it's so stinking true that I have no idea. I think I know who I am and what my qualities are but then somehow, they change. I know I'm super outgoing....but sometimes I need to hold back. I really need to work on being meek...and more spiritually mature. I need to focus on being a missionary and just doing this. This is what I need to focus on. Nothing else. Nothing else matters right now. I know....I truly know with all my heart that if I just do this work and focus on it....put my heart, might, mind, and strength into this work....everything else will turn out. I don't even need to worry about it. I put all my cares on hold....I give all of them to Heavenly Father and I say, "Here, will you hold these while I do this thing for you? Thanks Pops! You're the best!" Then after I'm done, everything will come back, but I'll be more prepared to face all of it. This may not be making sense to anyone else but it is making perfect sense to me and helping me become better....so save this email. Lol
This week I have really bonded with the members. A lot of them think I should be a comedian when I get home, lol. The other night, EVERY HOUSE gave us so,etching that was SUPER sugary. After every house, I would get more and more hyper. By the last house, I was crazy! La Hermana Gamez was sitting by me and I put her hair in her ear and just kept saying crazy things. The ward thinks I'm hilarious, but crazy. Which is really true.....which brings me back to my last point. MEEKNESS. That needs to happen or else I will never get married lol
So what's going to be in my Easter package? Hopefully some music.... ( hint hint
)
Just to let yall know.....I only have 8 1/2 months left. What. The. Heck. When did this happen? I'm going cray.
Well, let me know what's going on at home. Todo cheke aqui!
Xoxo, Hermana Dreiling"
