Well this week went pretty well. I didn't do as well on my midterm as I had hoped but it's okay. I really knew the material but for some reason made some dumb mistakes. We had a terrible basketball game friday night. Our girls lost by one because the refs called the winning shot no good. That was a heart breaker. Because it meant that they had to play another game on saturday to decide who makes it to the state tournament. Well they lost that game on saturday. I feel bad for our girls. They have a good team but make some bad mistakes. So girls basketball is over. Boys just have one more week then they go to state. And they are going for sure. Other than that I just worked on a project and studied all last week.
Yesterday was an interesting day. I celebrated my 2 year anniversary of being home from my mission. It was a really great day though. I read a few of my letters from the mission, mostly the MTC. It was good to remember what I wrote the MTC as being like and how I matured throughout my mission. So I should have a lot of empathy for the elders I teach shouldn't I? I do really well with the sisters but sometimes I forget that the elders are only 19 so I have to remind myself. Anyway, today I'm gonna go back through my mission letters and pictures and stuff and just go back to memory lane. It's been like a year since I've done that. One letter I read was from my second to last week in the field when I was going through a tough time with a roomate. She was doing a lot of disobedient things and I finally told someone other than someone in our zone since no one in my zone did anything and they immediately told president. Anyway, she got emergency transfered and I got a lot of grief because of it. But I knew I did the right thing. I wrote in my letter that you can't do wrong and feel right and you can't do right and feel wrong. When my mission president interviewed me he told me that what I experienced will help me in my life, in the future. I had forgotten about that. Anyway, it's true. I have learned a lot about integrity and certain things are just so important! Anyway, life is great! This week will be really busy because I need to follow up on visiting teaching and I have a lot of interviews to do with the sisters. But things are going well. My district is doing really well with a few minor things. We are now working on lesson 2 in english so I'm excited to hear them teach! Welp, hope all is well at home!
