Different flu for me and you:(

I'm not sure if I feel like a Disney Princess this week!  Thursday night I threw up four times :( and so on Friday I slept a lot because I was really weak and still sick.  I must've had the stomach flu or something.  It was bad.  And then Sister Davis got sick with the flu (not the stomach flu, just regular flu) and so we both rested on Saturday as well.  Yesterday we were both better so we got back to work, but it was a long weekend.  On a happier (?) note, we watched Together Forever, which is possibly the cheesiest film I have ever seen.  I almost threw up again because the sappy music was making me nauseous.  

I didn't sing at church again (not yet).  I am excited for this week though because we have a lot of potential investigators that we want to pick up! Holli and Ashley (mother and daughter), Glenn, and Todd.  So I'll let you know how this week goes.  Interestingly enough, there are lots of people here who remind me of Napoleon Dynamite.  I don't know if that's good or bad.  Besides probably one song on Erasure-wannabe's cd, his songs stink.  To me he doth stinketh.  But he tried so that's awesome for him.  He's a nice guy haha- we're trying to help him stop smoking.  

I can't believe it's already the last week of the transfer- crazy!  Sister Davis thinks she is leaving for Argentina- we'll see.  I think I'm staying here- but I guess you never know.  I like it here though- I wouldn't want to leave just when I'm feeling like I am starting to really know everyone and how to do things.  

 I miss Juke a lot.  I don't think a day has gone by where I haven't either thought about him or mentioned him in a lesson.  I love him and I hope he is doing well. 

How was dad's racing ..?  Oh West Virginia.  Did Juke's haircut turn out well? I want to see zombies!!!! Where are the pictures?!?! I don't see any!!!

Lets see, our usual day is 

6 am (if we have zone workout) 

6:30 zone workout (or get up if we don't have zone workout), workout

7 shower, get ready

8 personal study time

9 companion study time

11 additional/language study time (Sister Davis has to do language study)          

12 lunchtime

1 proselyting time- which means usually contacting and visiting people, sometimes we have lessons :)

5 dinner (with members, and we ask for referrals)

6 more proselyting! usually at night we have more lessons

9 done- we go home to plan for the next day and get ready for bed

10:30 bed time

Tuesday morning we have district meeting and Friday morning is weekly planning.  Sundays are crazy and Mondays are p-days (p-day is from 10 am to 6 pm).  

We just eat wherever is cheap on p-days.  We usually go out for lunch as a district after district meetings and weekly planning too.  There are three temples in our mission.  Draper, Jordan River, and Oquirrh :)  (is that spelled right?)

I haven't bought a coat and boots yet, but I think I will either today or next p-day.  I don't really NEED anything, but I'd love some more skirts :) I'm already sick of all of my clothes haha.  

Thank you for the addresses!  Hopefully Thus will contact me soon.  I was also wondering- is there any way you could get on my facebook and message Maya?  I feel like I should see how she's doing.  Could you ask her if I can have her email? Or her address?

Have I mentioned how much I love the scriptures?  They're hilarious.  I'll have to send a letter or email with all of my funny scriptures.  

Oh and also- apparently I just will never be able to email you pictures.  No one seems to know how to email pictures with these computers, so I'll try and ask someone who might know >:(

Love You and Miss You.  I'll be thinking about you when I go to the temple on Halloween :)

Sister Wight

ps- I had some awesome Halloween decoration pictures to send you! dang it!



Regarding Disney princess, Napoleon Dynamite and Erasure guy--see earlier posts:)  I hate to burst Leslea's bubble, but there are MUCH cheesier movies than "Together Forever"  (Saturday's Warrior, etc.)   Paul's West Virginia racing was a success and Juke's haircut was not (meaning it didn't even happen because he was in a bad mood and now he looks like the guy in Amadeus)  and the zombie pictures were from the zombie marathon I did last weekend.  Apparently the pictures I emailed her didn't go through:(  Maya is Leslea's old roommate and Thus is her friend in the Marines.  She keeps mentioning Halloween because it's my favorite holiday--hence the zombie running-and in case anyone's wondering, my speed is about the same as a zombie, but I did manage to outrun them (barely).  

Here is this week's special Halloween musical selection:

Watch if you dare--it will give you nightmares, you will run screaming, you will even seek out  a zombie to eat your brain!

If you scroll down a bit you will see this actual comment:


The music in this video will make you cry. In fact the whole movie will make you cry! Only someone with a heart of stone would not be moved by “together forever” and the music of Michael Mclean.

Well said, Sherri.  I could not agree more, but I'm pretty sure I would be crying for an entirely different reason than you:)  Maybe I truly do have a heart of stone, which is ok by me because that's the name of one of my favorite Erasure songs.  See how this all comes full circle?:)
