Ready for the update of my week? Yay! This is probably the most favoritest part of your week, right here! (;
Guess what?! I'm just going to tell you, cause for me to wait for your guess and then to respond to tell you if you were right would take like 3 weeks. So I'll just skip all that and tell you! Linda is getting baptized this Saturday! (: It's a miracle! Really. About 3 weeks ago, she was not progressing, or understanding what we were teaching. We were close to dropping her.. But we didn't! We kept with her. And now look! She's getting baptized! I think it all happened when she decided that she could stay for all 3 hours of church. She had been to sacrament meeting about 4 times, and then one Sunday she said that she could finally stay for all 3 hours! And it made a difference. We went and met with her a couple days later, and she all of a sudden showed progression! She was understanding what we were teaching, she remembered things that we had taught her previously, and she was making changes in her life that brought her closer to her Father in Heaven. It's truly been a miracle. She is reading the Book of Mormon like crazy! She and I stay together, so it's kinda like I'm reading with her. And we're in Mosiah 10. She's doing great! She's cute, because she says that she can't always remember what she read, or fully understand, or keep all the "characters" in line, but she says that she feels the Spirit and likes reading. Neat! She's trying, and that's all the Lord asks of us. It's incredible. So she's getting baptized this Saturday (: I'm excited for her. This is really going to bless her life. Big deal right here.
I'm a missionary. And I help bring people to the waters of baptism. It's a blessing that I am able to do this.
Bahaha! So I get a call from the Mission Office, and they sound reallyy worried, and they ask me if I have a rash on my face and that I should have contacted our mission president's wife as soon as it happened! They were FAreaking out! Hahah! They thought I was having this terrible rash attack my face and that I was like dying! Uh.. no.. I'm alright. Ha. But it's funny, because since I mentioned it to you last week, it's starting to go away. It looks a bit better. So I'm gonna see if it kinda goes away. If it doesn't, I'm gonna contact our mission doctor, Doctor Dunn (uh... ya! The doctor is doctor Dunn! That's my name!), and have him set up an appointment for the dermatologist. Thanks mom for calling (: I now know what I need to do. You're the best mom in the world!
Went to Red Robin one day. That was delicious and happy!
I had the craziest dream a couple nights ago! Basically, Sydney was dying.. (I really hope that this isn't forshadowing life, cause usually my dreams do that.. So Sydney, you better be okay!) Well she was dying, and we all knew that it was coming up. But before you could die, the whole family had to go to the temple. And in my dream, that's how we were letting you go, to like pass on. So the whole family went through the temple together, and for Sydney, the transition of moving into the Celestial Room was her passing on.. And we all knew this. But we were all able to be in the Celestial Room together. And we stayed there for awhile, but then when it was time to go, everyone could leave but Sydney. And the whole time, it amazed me that we all knew and understood that this was how it worked. We were all at peace with it. And so we said our goodbyes and left. Then I woke up in a panic and I was afraid, and I missed you all so much. And more than anything I wanted to know that everything was okay. It was such a real dream, and it kind of put things into perspective. It was a neat thought as I look back on it, and peaceful when it was happening. But when I woke up I was worried. I hope everything is okay (: But there's my dream for you. I have crazy dreams! And seriously, a lot of them forshadow what is to happen. So that's why I was so nervous about this one.
Went to Walmart today. And me, being super buff, was carrying in my left hand my grocery bag (yes, just my one, I'm poor) and a gallon of water. And in my right hand a gallon of milk and a gallon of water. Two gallon jugs in one hand. Well I was buff for awhile, then my week forearms tried to adjust how I was holding and.... BAM! Dropped a jug of water. And it shattered. And spilled every where. Thank goodness it was the water and not the milk! I felt SO bad! But the people that worked there were so nice and funny. And we joked about it. Told them it was a free floor cleaning for them (; It was eventful.. Then the washing machine ate my money and it didn't even wash my clothes... SUCK! It's been an eventful day. Anxious to see what else it brings! Haha.
So that's my week (: Hope you enjoyed this "Update on Sister Dunn's Mission Life." It's not too exciting. But it's happening. It's been a rough week secretly. But I got letters from mom and a package from Lucy. And that made it happier. Thank you. I'm learning a lot about who I am, who I want to be, and how to handle situations and problems. Which is annoying at the time, but I know it'll help me later on in life.
Transfers are next Tuesday. So I'll find out if I'm staying or going next Monday (: Exciting! I have no idea, nor a guess. It'll be a surprise either way!
Love you all lots and lots!
Sister Clara Kay Dunn.
1. My Saint Patrick's day outfit (: I also wore a green cardigan, but had taken it off.
2. This is how I kill a spider! All cutesy. HA! That devil spider wouldn't die! I smashed it with the swiffer duster, then it crawled out from underneath it! And fell from off the ceiling. Then I couldn't find him.. Then I saw him move and squished him with the swiffer again and thought I had killed him. Then he started running AGAIN! I grabbed my shoe and smashed the crap out of it and told it to die! I do not like spiders.. If finally died. And I flushed the remains of him down the toilet. Ha!
3. This is the view from my desk! It's happy. Pictures of family and gospel things, and sticky notes with quotes and one liners that I like. I've started a thing where I will put up sticky notes with sayings and when I move areas I pack them all away and start over with new quotes that I find. It's neat to see how the quotes have changed and how some are similar (: It's helpful.
Sorry, didn't take lots of pictures this week. Not a lot happened.
Today is my 8 months! (: Yay! It went by real quickly. I can't believe it. In a month I'll be halfway done with my mission. CRAZY!
I love you all so much!
Sister Dunn.
