Happy 2018 Everyone!
Man, I have loved reflecting on 2017 and all that it held for me
and my family. I played in my last volleyball game, graduated from high school,
decided to go on a mission, left my family to go to a foreign country and speak
a foreign language... WHAT A YEAR!!! I have also loved thinking about what this
next year will hold. So many beautiful opportunities! I do not have very much
time to email this week, but I just hope my family can feel my love for them. I
loved every detail that was shared with me about Grandma's funeral. I am having
a hard time not being able to be there to take care of my family, but I am
trusting in Bishop Backus's promise to me that the ward will take care of them
and take them in their tender love and care. Oh, how grateful I am for ward
families!
Enjoy these silly points:
- So, I think I said this last week, but we received like 20
chocolate Santa’s from different people for Christmas. So, I had this brilliant
idea that we would freeze two and then after a long day of missionary work we
would make some hot chocolate, bite of the heads of the Santa’s and have our
hot chocolate in our little chocolate Santa "cups". Serious Charley
and the Chocolate Factory status right there. Well, the chocolate Santa’s
melted within 10 seconds of us pouring the hot chocolate so we made a HUGE mess
and we were laughing SOOOOO hard!
- Germany seriously does New Year’s right! It was INSANE! There
were hundreds of fireworks going off around our apartment and they went steady
for like 45 minutes! It was SO cool!!!
- On New Year’s Eve we were allowed to watch a movie and we
watched "The Testament" video and I was so happy! I LOVE MOVIES and
that one made me cry so hard!
- So, I was showering today and I ran out of shampoo and
conditioner. The sister that was here before me left some bottles in the shower
that she said I could have them, buuuut they are all in German. One said
Schuumu or something and then there was a bottle in similar style and it
started with a C, so I thought it was safe to assume that it was shampoo and
conditioner. Well after my shower I asked my companion and apparently, they
were both BODY WASH!!!! So, my hair feels gross today! Oh, the Joys of not
knowing German!
- I am trying to become a better missionary every day, but I
have had to work on not expecting more from myself than what my Heavenly Father
expects.
I know it is not much, but I hope you got a couple smiles from
this!
Have an amazing week and set some great Goals!
I LOVE YOU!!!!!
Love, Sister Reay
