to tell ya the truth, not much really b/c one of my sisters in my district has been really sick-still, and so i've been at home w/ her taking care of her. she went to the hospital 3 days ago, and they couldn't find anything. shes been having really bad stomach pains, and then the pain meds shes on make her dizzy, so its just been hard for her. i haven't been on the square for a couple of days. i took her down to the Square to have an interview w/ Pres. Holmes- we had to walk down from our apts. and we had our arms around each other b/c she was so dizzy, which is totally "unapproved" -as we call it here, but what can ya do? we're are not supposed to have any PDA whatsoever to draw attn' to ourselves and make guest think anything about us. but for the way back to our apt. we picked up a wheelchair from the SVC and i wheeled her home. we had a fun time w/ that. shes a good sport, super funny, she's from Mexico city, and barely 5 feet. adorable! we had to go off roading a bit in the wheelchair b/c there was a truck blocking the sidewalk and we attempted 5 times to get back up on the cement from the grass, and i didn't realize it, but there were worker guys right there sitting in their van just watching me trying to push her over the bump, back up and retry, and repeat like 5 times. it was funny. he finally came out and asked if we needed help, but by that time i realized that i could just simply tip the wheelchair back and do it that way.
in the interview w/ pres. he gave her a blessing, and it was really sweet of him, and said a lot of nice things about me in her blessing, of me caring for her, -cant really remember all of it, i was just surprised that he mentioned me throughout the blessing so much. before that as well, he said that i was an Angel w/o wings. he is such a good guy. i just feel so blessed having him as a Mission Pres. he is so inspired, and i have the highest respect for him.
this morning we just had a mission mtg. w/ all of us and Pres. Holmes talked w/ us in preparation for Gen. Conf. so it was good to hear from him. he talked a lot about obedience w/in our mission, and how critical it is to have that- that as we are disobedient we are being separated from the spirit and as a mission. that obedience unifies us as a mission as a whole. obedience has been a bit of a prob. w/ our sisters- so all together -well, in my zone, we wrote down a couple of things we felt we individually needed to work on, and then we committed to fast from those things in preparing for gen. conf. and as we pray each night, to be accountable to the Lord for our actions. its helped me a lot- you are def. more mindful of the things you want to work on, you are more focused and aware.
so how is the family? anything new? any updates? i put Baby J's name on the prayer roll. so hopefully things will be ok.
i can't think of much else. i love you so much! i hope that you a & dad are safe and healthy and well. please let me know if there is anything i can do for you. are my letters ok? anything you want me to write more of? thanks for all you and dad do for me. pres. talked about how a lot of sisters here on the mission are having a lot problems back home: sick parents-almost dying, jobs being lost-unemplyment, houses almost lost, deaths in the family. --stuff like that, it just made me think about you and dad, and how thankful i am for you. i just hope eveything is going ok for you and dad. hopefully you aren't struggling w/ anything. I'll try my best to work hard so you can have lots of blessings. love you both so much.
~LOVE-Sister Harris
