I hope you are all doing well, and I'm still as happy as ever to be here.
We had quite an eventful last week. I'll start by giving an update on Sister Post because everyone has asked me about that. I guess I forgot to mention what exactly happened to her. She was playing volleyball, and out of instinct, she went to dive for the ball. Mid dive, she remembered that we aren't supposed to dive in the MTC, and when she tried to catch herself, she dislocated it. After x-rays and MRIs, she went into surgery yesterday to repair her laborum (I really don't think that's how it's spelled) because it tore when she dislocated her shoulder. She is now recovering, and the surgery went really well. They didn't have to do some of the more invasive things like they thought they might, which was a huge blessing.
Another crazy thing. Today, Sister Bunch and I got to do something that not many missionaries get to do. We got to go to the mall to shop for clothes. She needed to go get some more, so after talking to a lot of people, we were cleared to go. It was so strange to hear music blaring all around us. It has been a long time since I heard any of that music. It's pretty much all hymns here.
We got a ton of new elders and sisters in our zone last Wednesday. I think we got 36 total! And 14 of them were sisters. It's super crazy, and I still don't know everyone yet. Our district gets to be hosts tomorrow too, so we get to welcome another group of incoming missionaries, none of which are coming to our zone though.
Saying the prayer at devotional last week was alright. It was cool to be up on the stand and meet the speakers and have comfy seats. I do have to say though that it is hard to see the words for the hymns from the second row on the stage. It was okay though, it's not like they would sing any familiar hymns to make it easier on us either.
You will have to tell MaKormick that I am so excited that he got his mission call! He is going to just love it! North Carolina had better watch out. And, he is super lucky that he doesn't have to learn another language (as far as I know). It kind of makes things a little harder. Oh, and thank Janet so much for the package! I don't have it yet, but I love her so much and hope that she is doing well--and I hope her knees get feeling better. That just sounds miserable!
Mom, I won't know until right before where I am reassigned. They don't tell us about our Visas either unless we get them and it's time to pack. If I get it, I will email you to let you know any further information.
Emilee, we didn't get to listen to conference in Portuguese. My district wants to watch that one talk that was in Portuguese though. I loved conference, and we all did like that story that Elder Bednar told, just like you did.
Sam, that is so funny that Squishy got on top of the chicken coop. Silly chickens!
Julia, I'm sure you really are almost fluent in Spanish. Mr. Monrroy would be so proud of you. I'm sure you can even have a full conversation with him because he's an awesome native speaker from Venezuela. Have fun being Taylor Swift for Halloween. You are so goofy. Dressing up liek someone just because you kind of look like them and want to make fun of them.
Jed, I want to see Homecoming pictures! And, of course, I want to hear all about it!
Dad, the classes are long, but our district is great, and we have FABULOUS teachers, so it is totally bearable.
Love you all and can't wait to hear more from you! Keep writing me, it's fun!

Here's our new zone (at least those who came to the temple Sunday)
This is all of the sisters in our zone
This is all of us in our room (my companions and two other sisters)
