"Helllooo duuuur,
I don't have much news from this week! I stayed inside for 3 days because we think I have the flu. I don't really ever throw up...you know that... But I have had nausea, achyness, diarrhea, fever, headaches, been weak, and literally EXHAUSTED. I've literally slept all day for the past three days. Sooo, not much news from that.
This Saturday is the Temple Cultural Celebration and all the missionaries are going to be in it. We are singing two songs with the youth...one has sign language with it. YOU CAN WATCH IT.
Then on Sunday, that is the Temple Dedication....it's my first!!! I'm super excited for that! Other than that, noooot much!
We had 2 less active's come to church this Sunday....one of them I have gotten super close to. His name is Hermano Rendon and he is the funniest old Mexican I've ever met! He's diabetic and doesn't take care of himself so I get mad at him EVERY TIME we go over. He said he would go to the temple open house if we brought him cookies. So we looked for sugar free ones....they don't exist. So we made him a sugar free cake cut into the shape of a temple! He went...and then yesterday he went to CHURCH. Man, I'm so happy for him. It was the first time in 22 years he has been to church.
You're probably wondering why I never write home about my investigators. ITS BECAUSE WE DONT HAVE ANY. BAAAHHHHHH!!!!! It kills me! Not a lot of stuff happening in this area.mwe have 3 sq miles to work with. Apparently it has been really unproductive for a while. Buuuut, next week is transfers and we will see what happens. We will only have 13 Hermanas in the whole mission. We aren't getting any new Hermanas but we have two leaving, sooo he will either have to combine two areas, or shut down an area....but either way, there is going to have to be a trio, UNLESS he moves an Hermana to English..... SPECULATION. Apparently we aren't supposed to speculate, but I literally have yet to meet someone who doesn't. We speculate with our Zone Leaders....lol
Ohhh, one funny thing that happened this week is I figured out why I love Obispo Menchaca so much....HE LOOKS LIKE DADDY. Bahahaha I was laughing for like 20 mins straight after I figured it out. Obispo is so shy, he gets weird when I talk about it. Or it stresses him out to think about having a daughter as crazy as me! Probably the second one.....
Well just know the holidays are coming up so any packages are appreciated.
Feel free to send any. :)
Xoxo, Hermana Dreiling"

"'Can a woman forget her (crawfish head) sucking child, (APPARENTLY
KELLY DREILING CAN) that she should not have compassion on the
(daughter) of her womb (who is on a mission)? yea, they may forget,
yet will I not forget thee."
Isaiah 49:15
Thank you God, for not forgetting me. Kelly, no excuse.
Well this week was a doozy...worked at the final days of the Open
House and oh man....am I tired. Thursday night was the busiest night.
I left at 9:30pm and there was a HUGE line weaving in and out of the
church and outside of the temple...apparently the Sisters in the
reception tent didn't leave until 10:15pm.....and our curfew is 9.
Halloween was slow and nobody memorable really came through except a
girl who looked like she was 18, she was dressed as a cat and had
super tight black spandex on. She also had a hole in the butt of her
Spandex and it was suuuuper classy. I want to think she didn't know it
was there and just thought she was wearing super tight spandex to the
temple....but who really knows. I also told everyone I dressed up as
Beyoncé.....my master. OH, remember Elder Farley from the ccm? The one
who always looked at me crazy in all of my pictures? WELL, his family
went through the Open House and I met them! Super cool experience!
They are so sweet, and follow my blog....SHOUT OUT TO YOU HONEY!!!
(Honey is her name....is that not the coolest?!)
Saturday was pretty busy all day, and I met someone from Mikey's
mission. Can't really remember his name....pero esta bien! I was with
another Sister all day and she told me her story. She is an amazing
person.....she grew up in a house where her parents were Hoarders and
her sisters used to abuse her. She said they had no furniture except
beds because they couldn't. Their rat infestation made it hard for
them to have anything. They had hardly any electricity and she is the
only active one in her family. She is paying for everything by
herself...like car, school, mission, housing, etc. She is amazing to
me and I look up to her. A lot of the Sisters do not really get along
with her but I think she is so inspiring. For hew to be the way she is
after growing up like that, is amazing.
Alsoooo, I was in the reception tent for The Open House and a man came
up to me and said, "Good job on the temple, you built it all yourself,
right?" And I was like, "Yeah, someone had to do it. Wasn't too hard
though." And he was like, "How did you get Moroni up there?" And I
said, "I strapped him on my back and climbed up there like Mulan." He
just walked away.....I don't know what that means. Then, a woman saw
my name tag and saw that it said, "Hermana Dreiling". She came up to
me and said super slowly, "Do you speak English too?" Homegirl, that
is the only thing I speak accept sarcasm....DO I LOOK MEXICAN?!
The temple dedication is November 16th! And we don't know the details
for that yet. Buuuut, we do know we will be participating in the
Cultural Celebration!!! You can watch it online too!! That will be on
the 15th! Watch it and look for me! :)
I am becoming a much more patient person....oh. my. gatos. I'm pretty
sure I can deal with anything. ALSO, charity. Everyone needs charity
in their lives. It makes you feel better. If you aren't praying for
charity. Start. It tells us in the scriptures that what we need to ask
the Lord in prayer for charity. I have and he has blessed me
sincerely. The Mish life is getting better everyday. But it's because
I'm developing more patience, charity, and faith. Missions show you
your weaknesses and totally crushes you until you hit rock bottom and
then you can only go up from there. It's crazy. And it sucks. But it
will be worth it because I will know how to deal with my husband and
kids....lol not kidding.
I also decided I want Moroni 10:32 for my plaque. And I'm good for my
driving record, I already sent it in!
Wellll I love yall and thank you for supporting me in everything. I
know I'm crazy and that's okay because God loves me lol. And he won't
forget about me....refer to paragraph one.

Hey guys updating is going to be back on track now. Sorry for such a long break between updates!
"Me gusta español mucho ahora.... Pero no mi compañera. Nunca.....
Si, estoy todavia con ella..... :(
#prayfortransfers
The Ward gave all of us missionaries (there are 3 companionships in
this Ward, the rest are elders) cards and chocolate....for no specific
reason! Just a thank you for our service to the Lord....how sweet is
that. Obispo Menchaca said, "tell your parents thank you for
me....thank you so much!" He's grateful how my parents raised me and
for who I am. Is that not the cutest thing....He's probably the second
nicest Obispo in the world. (First one being my dad lol) :) they also
all tell me I'm going to stay in La Joya for my whole mission. They
said, "Your mission is not the Phoenix Arizona Mission, it's the La
Joya Phoenix Arizona Mission!!!" MEXICANS ARE SO FUNNY. I also harass
my WML by saying I'm switching to English and he freaks out every
time. Bringing out doctrine and his advice. I laugh so much here. I
love this Ward!
I've seen so many people from home here. Because I'm from
Florida...and that's not close. Lol....confused. Yeah. I saw Elder
King....he was in my zone in the CCM. He's in the Scottsdale mission
and it's super cool that every surrounding mission can come visit with
investigators, recent converts, and less actives. It shows how
important the temple is!!! I've seen the Cerveras, the Robbins, and a
missionary who served in the Beneva Branch! I also saw all of Nina's
best friends from EFY! Nina and Ricky were supposed to come too but
didn't because it would be too much work for Ricky to take off! BOO.
So they owe me a huge package.... :)
We are staying at other sisters apartments for Wednesday, Thursday.
Friday, and Saturday nights because we carpool with them. My apartment
is about 20-30 mins away from the temple! Their apartment is just like
10 mins away from ours, but it's easier just to stay the night with
them than getting up earlier (we already get up at 5) to meet
somewhere! So we still travel like 20 mins there! #nottooshabby
Oh and a mom offered her son to me there....he was like 40 years old
and single. So awkward. So nasty. And someone hard core fell in the
reception tent on Saturday....it took everything in me not to laugh
because I was so uncomfortable. (I laugh when I don't know what to do
#imaterribleperson)
Kay, well I will see you in 445 days!!! Less than 15 months!!!

"How has your week been? We'll mine was the same until Yesterday when I
went on Exchanges. It. Was. Awesome. I finally got trained on how to
be a missionary and I loved it. We talked to more than 50 people
yesterday. That means over 50 have heard the truth of the
Gospel.....and I helped. I was with Hermana Santana and she is so
awesome. She goes home 2 days after the Temple Dedication and she is
an amazing missionary! I had so much fun all day and we did more work
that day then I have my whole mission....
I talked to Presidente about how I'm not happy in this companionship
because I feel like I'm not learning (now I know I'm not...) and he
just kept telling me how she's the best trainer ever, blah blah blah.
And I'm like....Hmmm. This is so embarrassing to say, but I didn't
even know about the "Talk to Everyone" thing until Hermana Santana. I
thought it was just about knocking on doors of those we know until
Hermana Santana was like, "uhh why are you riding past these people?"
And I was like, we've never done that before.....BUT THAT IS
MISSIONARY WORK. So now I feel like the first 3 weeks have been
wasted.
Anyway, other than that, nothing new really happened. We have a new
potential family we got from a referral. It's a mom and three girl but
she's living with her boyfriend (eek) I hate when that happens. We
found them but the referral was really for a guy named Freddy. He
works in Salt Lake City and has met with the missionaries. But when we
found him, he was not interested. But a nice guy. And hopefully his
Girlfriend and her kids are interested.
One guy who we were teaching was super interested. We taught about
baptism and he chose the date he wanted to get baptized on, right then
and there. Awesome. But we couldn't find him for awhile and so after
like the 5th time of showing up at his house randomly and
calling...his daughter opened the door and she said he moved.....OUT
OF OUR MISSION. boo.....
But, other than that.....nada.
I JUST CRIED I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD. Dad smelled my hair?!?! Does it
smell good? What do I smell like? Let me know.... That is sooo funny!
Bahahah....golden. I really wished you would've taken a picture pero,
esta bien!
So I got one package in the mail.....is that all there was? I thought
you said there would be two! Will you take a picture of the program
and send it to me? I wanna see my name on there! Also....A PICTURE OF
MY SONS. I miss them terribly. How are they doing? Is Pooper being
nice to Bentley? Do they miss me? I miss them so much I'm tearing up
at the moment....but I'm at a zone activity so I have to choke down
the tears. I'm crazy.....I know.
We'll I don't know what else to talk about, but I LOVE YOU GUYS! I
haven't used any hair products because I want my hair to grow back
SUPER HEALTHY. Cray, huh? Maybe for like a special occasion....
I love you, keep praying.
Xoxo, Hermana Dreiling
Aka, Hermana Blanca
Ps. Our new investigator Miguel looks like Feivel from An American
Tale.....I like him."

Second week in Arizona!
Hey everyone, sorry for such a late post! Sister Hermana got to Arizona last week. We didn't hear much from her then except....
"I'm in Arizona! I'm in the La Joya Ward
10350 W McDowell Rd
Apartment: #3225
Avondale, AZ 85392-9539
I JUST mailed my surprise today since last week was Labor Day and the
post office wasn't open. Boo. But yeah I mailed it. Along with the
charger you guys got me.....I need to hook my camera up to the
computer (ex. Card reader or cord) not to charge it. I have my
charger! Also, I REALLY want a gps.....my companion does not know how
to get around the area and it's so annoying to go back and forth on
bike.
I honestly wish I could tell you how our lessons are going. But I
don't understand them and my companion doesn't translate. It's. Hard.
We have a man named Victor who has a heart problem. He has a
pacemaker. Anyway, he picked his own Baptismal Date and
everything...October 26th....and he was afraid to pray. So I told him
this:
Me- Victor, como esta
(High pitched voice) Padre celestial
(Deep voice) Si, hijo
(High voice) estoy agradecido por......lalala
(Deep voice) de nada
(High voice) Por Favor Bendice Me con.......
(Deep Voice) está bien
He looooved it. That was the only thing I've said in lessons all week.
True story. But the ward here is awesome. They always give me advice
(that I don't understand) and call me beautiful. That all I want in
life. Bahaha yeah and we had a haboob the other day....like a dust
storm. It was pretty sweet.
Well I love you guys and I can't wait to see you in 16 months! Bahaha so sad.
Talk to you next week! Also, email me back real quick with how much
money I have in my account....I need $600 Love you!
Xoxo, Hermana Dreiling"

It's really hot here but I[m pushing through. We just went to a dinner appointment and I didnt understand anything."
Here is her e-mail from this week (August 8, 2014)
"Well this week has been a bit better since the whole "incident".
There's only 15 Hermanas in the whole mission. That's only 7
areas....cray. We're mostly in The Tolleson/Glendale areas. Pauline is
the farthest north Hermanas go!
Your car sounds pretty cool. I see you went with a cheaper car because
you're saving up for when I come back. #rangeroverhereicome
You guys should have gotten me some jewelry and sent it! That would've
been nice. ;)

Last week in the Mexico MTC!
Received this e-mail on the 21st!
"This week was....STRESSFUL! Hermana Welker, one of my roommates, has a Pacemaker and her BP went up to 197 per minute Saturday afternoon. So she was rushed to the Hospital....her companion went with her and spent the night. Then, I found got a call that said that I needed to replace her companion so she could go to classes the next day. So, I went there from 8-8 on Sunday. The doctors in Mexico are so nice and super good so they figured out her heart is an A-FIB. They wanted to do a surgery on her right then but she wanted to have her doctor do it. So, we came back to the Mexico CCM and they booked her a flight. Hermana Welker went home on Tuesday....so sad. But, I´m glad for her because she REALLY needed that surgery. She will be in the hospital for 3 months recovering....crazy. So we are now in a trio with Hermana Welker´s companion. Pray for me.

I go to AZ on Tuesday, SO STINKING EXCITED........TO GET A BURGER. Also, I leave the CCM at 2:30 AM. I am SLEEPING on that flight....My diarrhea kind of went away....now I only have it once in the mornings, pero esta bien. Being Sister Training Leaders means absolutely nothing. We just have to get to know all the Hermanas in our zone really well and then be there for them if they have any problems. One girl wanted to go home but we talked her into staying until the following Monday, and now she´s staying for good! What a good deed! :) That´s funny you have Elders in your ward that went to the Mexico CCM! Ask them what Zone they were and what teachers they had! I know like A TON of teachers. Mostly because I get in trouble a lot and then also I talk to everyone. hehe
So you know that picture I sent of my name in the cement? Well, some girl ratted us out and today we had to do 2 hours of service. 1st hour was laundry. I folded 400 pillowcases. But, that was actually fun because we could listen to Mexican Music. Yes, Mexican Music is fun. ANY MUSIC IS FUN AT THIS POINT. So after the first hour, we then emptied every trashcan in the CCM. Literally threw up 4 times so I´m working on that Post-Mish body already. ;)
Then we restocked toilet paper. What a delightful day. At least there were like 7 then 5 of us....a girl got sick. But, on the reals, I think we should have also worn orange jumpsuits and sang, ´´Ohweeoh, ohohhhhhoh´´ from The Wizard of Oz. That´s gangsta stuff right there. All the workers laugh about us...they thought it was funny. They said we´re famous. (I always wanted to be Hannah Montana)
I LOVE MY PACKAGES. But seriously mom....I need them. I´m in a PRISON. A prison that smells like alleyways of New York. I can´t wait to be in America again....it smells better. I didn´t take a picture.....but I can if you want. I still have it! My teacher is OBSESSED with Root Beer so I gave him one and now I´m his fave student. Everyone gets jealous too because they don´t get packages hahaha. Keep it coming Kel and Richard....you da you da best.
My Spanish is mas o menos pero getting better everyday. Spanish. I love it. Yet I hate it. SO MANY CONJUGATIONS AND RULES! English is da best. Love ya, ´murica. Honestly, the Spanish I learned in 5th grade at Ashton has helped the most.....like the colors, and numbers, and the mucho gusto song. SHOUT OUT TO THE ASHTON ELEMENTARY SPANISH DEPARTMENT. you are great.
That´s funny about the girls. Tell them to prepare for missions....they´re the best! But only if they want to.....no forcing here.
Mom, I´m such a trouble maker here.....I LOVE IT. But it´s like stupid trouble maker stuff. Like the forts we made last week, yeah....our Elders got yelled at last week for them. They didn't believe we were the ones who made them. Also, Hermana Pratt yells at me every day. Also, the cement. Also, we try to play Ultimate 4 Square everyday and we always get told to move. There´s more and I wrote it all down but I forgot my Notebook!
I also have a surprise I´m sending to you but I´m not sending it until Phoenix...because the mail here takes forever. 3 weeks for a letter! So the day I get to Phoenix, I´ll send it! k? love ya!
XOXO, Hermana Dreiling (Hermoine)
our district decided I´m Hermoine now.´´
