I Got Burnt

Hey family! And friends who are family! And everyone else who decides to read this!
This week was...well, interesting. And just like last week, i did not even have a chance to write down a bunch of notes to write in here, so I think I will end up forgetting a lot. It was a crazy week. First the bad news. Remember Gil and her family? Well, they moved. To the area of the Zone Leaders in a different zone! And our other golden, William, has disappeared. We are working so hard here, and trying not to get discouraged. Blessings will come, right?

Anyway, I'm not unhappy. Just trying to figure out what to do differently so I can baptize. Cuz that is why I am here. Already my prayers have changed, which is interesting to see. I wake up thinking about our investigators. Sometimes I dream about teaching. Mostly my dreams are still just whacked out, so at least that has not changed too much.

Church this week was awesome. We announced our new activity to our ward, to get references, with a musical fireside in the end. The ward is excited, and I have no doubt that we will get 100 references within a month from them. We had testimony meeting yesterday, and a lot of people bore testimony of missionary work and sharnig their testimonies. It is wonderful.
I am having trouble trying to think in English, so the things that happened are also escaping my mind. I just need to sit down and write letters...cuz this whole email thing is not working out so well today. I want to get on lds.org and print off some conference talks.
In other news....we found some new people to teach. Oh, we had a division with the other sisters in our zone, so I got to play senior for a day. That was interesting. We also did two other divisions with members....divisions are tiring, and I miss my comp! Who knew I would ever spend so much time away from my own comp! But it is good, because we are reaching the standard of excellence each week with lessons. It rocks.
This week, we have zone conference on Wednesday. I am super stoked! We will get training from President and the Zone Leaders, and I will get to see Sister Frame and some other buddies here in the mish! I am so excited for it. So because of that, we lose pday this week, but I think it's fair tradeoff.
I studied a lot about the resurrection this week, which was all very interesting. It started because i had a simple question, which led to a lot of studying, and more questions, and more studying, and even more. There is so much I want to study and learn! I love that I have an hour to study each morning...what a blessing.
Welp, gotta go email president, print off some conference talks, and try to do 50 million more things in a short amount of time! I love you all, and sorry this email is so lame...I know my emails are getting lamer and lamer! there were like a million funny stories to tell, but I will put them in a letter as I remember them. :) So at least the fam will hear it. :)
Love,
Karen

Fortune Cookies can be profound..

So I was at work last night, at KBYU, and they fed us dinner. Sweet, free food! As a college kid with almost no money to my name, I'll gladly eat food that someone not only pays for, but pays me to eat! I've learned to like a lot of foods this way... I never used to enjoy Chinese food, but now I do. And last night, our food came from Panda Express. Seeing as I've never eaten authentic Chinese food from China, I don't know how "real" this food is, but it's pretty delicious. But that is not the point. The point is, half the fun of eating Chinese food is to read and laugh at the fortune inside the fortune cookie! Especially from Panda Express, where the fortunes are usually pretty lame, silly, or in fact MISfortunes! As I cracked my cookie open last night, my heart was pounding with anticipation... what would I get? Would it change my LIFE?!!? Okay, so I was just curious, and my heart wasn't pounding. :) I read the little slip of paper, and g...

Eu Amo Meloncia!

(NOTE:  Received on 3/30/2010) Hello family! Well, this week I did something different.  I kept a list in my agenda of things to write to y'all about, instead of just writing one on the bus on the way back from the Temple, and it is LONG!  But most of the things are just things to mention, not really to talk about.  So let me start with that! Choir last Tuesday was awesome...I played the piano of course, and the choir sang "Scripture Power".  Remember in primary when we would lift our scriptures up during the chorus?  Yeah, guess what 100 missionaries did during choir!  It was hilarious and so awesome.  We have so much fun here! Soccer here is intense.  Our teacher, Irmão Mendes, has the radio on his cell phone.  One day in class, he pulled it out, turned it on, and we listened for a few seconds to a soccer game.  Long enough to hear "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...
