Hello
Friends and Family!
I'm
slowly starting to feel like a missionary!! This week we have 8 new
investigators!! Four of those have baptismal dates!! I'm super excited to be
doing this great work!! How great is my CALLING!!!
This
week we had exchanges and that was more stressful then I would like it to be. I
had to show the Sister Training Leader my area and the work we have been doing.
Plus get evaluated at the end. Boy, was I on a stress roller coaster! I made it
through and I passed on everything. With all high marks!
Wednesday,
I have personal interviews with President Shumway. I'm a bit nervous and not at
the same time. Hopefully I won't say anything dumb....
Last
night I finally got my first chigger bite! Alright it wasn't just 1 bite. It
was 16 bites!!! Needless to say, I did not handle the situation well. I had to
take a bleach bath to kill them. Because they stay on you (inside your skin!!!)
and there's very few things that can kill them. Their bites are worse than
mosquito bites, they itch like none other. If you scratch them, the chigger
then leaves the bite and goes somewhere else on your body to suck your blood.
So, it's like super-duper important NOT to itch them.
I
couldn't handle the thought that there was a tiny bug on me that I couldn't see
or touch. I pretty much had a melt down and begged my companion to just chop my
legs off and that I didn't need them. lol
She
thought I was a little more than crazy seeing me freak out about this! But how
could you not freak out!! Sister Harris says I would die if I ended up in a 3rd
world country. lol
Luckily,
the bath helped and now I just have to not scratch the bites!
Well, I love and miss you all so much!
The Church is true!
Love,
Sister Jackie Elkins
