This week's shout
out goes out to the moldy pumpkin we just threw away. Gross.
So I got a new
companion, Sister Olsen. She's kind of insane but in a good way, not the bad
way. At least thus far. She's been in San Fran for the past 10 months, so I
guess the crazy kinda rubs off on you eh haha no, but seriously. She's great.
We work pretty hard and it's just. Good. Great. Awesome.
Tuesday I
dropped off Sister Slaughter at the mission home and I had a 3 hour wait
period. So I hitched a ride with the Visitor Center sisters. Actually they
recruited me to help them move. So I got to visit Berkeley! It seems really
cool. I wanna go there. But anyways, we're moving all this stuff. Like food,
clothes, like who knew sisters needed that much. Well, we do. We get to the
door, and the door is locked. So the sister pulls out the key to open the door,
and nothing. There we are in the middle of Berkeley with like 5 suitcases and a
locked door. Here's where the story gets good. I'm with 2 other sisters, and
one of them pulls out a screwdriver. First of all, wow. I wouldn't think to
carry around a screwdriver, but I guess it's totally necessary. And she pulls
all the screws out and nothing even happened. So I'm like here let me use this
bobby pin. I had it all ready but I didn't have enough leverage and torque to
twist it. So, if anyone wants to send me a lock picking kit, feel free. But
yeah, just picture 2 sister missionaries at a pink house trying to jiggle the
door with a credit card and a bobby pin, and the other sister missionary making
calls.
Met this lady on the street and she had this mega brain tumor
and she's a walking miracle. She also has a pet goat. But she really believes
in Christ and we are going to start teaching her! Hopefully. We are going to go
back and rake leaves and such and then try and teach her. She's so nice. Her
and her fiance got us some soda and just talked to us for a really long time.
We got to go to this really cool choir concert that basically
all the youth in the ward were in. They did a fantastic job. Monte Vista. They
are traveling all over Europe this summer, lucky dogs. They really did a great
job though, it felt like. Actually hold on. Maybe I will commission them to
follow us around and sing. This is it- this is the choir I've been looking for
to follow us around. Just kidding. Sort of. But it was a really great concert
though! Obviously it was boring like most are, but.
Trunk or Treat this
week! Man I miss Pretty Little Liars. I was so stoked when that family dressed
up as them. Also, Becca came dressed as the lady joker from a comic book. She's
so creative. And then there's Bella, the ex-con. She's the cutest. The other
day in church we offered her a brownie and she kind of looked happy enough to
cry. And then there's the angel and the devil. That's probably my favorite this
week. I was going to have them sit on my shoulders, but they said it'd be a bad
idea. The one who dressed up as a devil is Sarah. She's like my favorite, I
love her haha. Then the angel is her friend Erin, who just moved here from
Jersey. God bless her. She said her brother lives in Bryn Mawr and I was like
"OH MY GOSH ITS SO GOOD TO HEAR THAT" I don't really know, it's weird
but you kind of miss things like that when you're away from them for so long.
So we talked about the shore and the east coast and I was just really happy
afterwards. It's such a small thing but I'm so grateful
Speaking of gratitude, Thanksgiving is coming up! There's so much to be grateful for. But we were in young women's yesterday and they were talking about it and it really is important. No matter what, being grateful will make everything better. So I'm too lazy to count out how many letters are in the alphabet and I'm not sure when Thanksgiving is, but I would like to extend a challenge to all of you. If you will start today at the beginning of the alphabet and list all the things you're grateful for starting with that letter and go until Thanksgiving (So like, start today and do the letter A, then tomorrow do B, and so forth), I can promise that you will be happier. God blesses us a lot more than we are aware. And I'm so grateful for everything I've got.
Love you all! You're the toppings to my pizza.
Love,
Sister Kwan
