This week was a pretty normal week in Portadown. Me and Sister Khoo are always joking that the mission made a mistake of putting us as companions because we are both so young in the mission and are both scared of everything. So since we are so scared of everything we convinced ourselves that our flat is haunted and had the elders come dedicate it. hahaha
Sister Khoo is literally one of the biggest germaphobes ever and it kills me hahaha. She is always cleaning and like won't touch or sit on anything. She does laundry like almost every day and one time i dropped my shirt on the ground and then she was like, "sister you are gonna wash that now, right?" and i was like what the heck, no i am not gonna go wash it just cause it fell on the ground haha. i love her.
sister khoo calls me dory because i am so forgetful and because she says i am always so positive and that its very unusual for me to get sad or mad so when i do its like oh no she's broke! it made my day haha
We were chapping all day yesterday on Sunday and we were at this persons door and i was making sister khoo laugh so hard that she fell backwards and hit one of there flower pots and it tipped over and broke and we were both like crap! oops!
So something that has been very hard for me out here is that i am always trying to do everything perfectly and i get very stressed out if something i did wasn't perfect and i always beat myself up for it. But i was watching this video the other day and they were talking about how there is no perfect missionary and that God doesn't and isn't expecting us to be perfect in this life. that is something that really hit me hard. and then they said that when you start to beat yourself up that those thoughts would never come from God. soooo i have been trying to be okay with not having everything perfect. its so dang frustrating sometimes but i am trying haha.
We went to pick up our friend Shiela to come to church with us because she promised she would go with us this Sunday and then she like just dropped us at the door step so that was sad. But she is amazing and she will get baptized eventually. she has such a sweet spirit to her. she is from Africa and raises her three kids while her paterner works in England, she is an amazing woman.
While we were chapping yesterday we had no idea where to go so we were basically just following the spirit and we ended up knocking on this chicks door who has a book of mormon already and has met with missionaries like a year ago. she wants us to come back to teach her and her family this week. it is so amazing to see how when we are in tune with the spirit where we can be led.
But thats about all i can think of. not much else to write. Peace out homies
