Last three days have been cold (as in 51 degrees) in the morning, then by the afternoon we're baking in the car with sun and 75+ degrees. Feels weird to me in Texas, until I remembered that this is how Spring would usually be backhome. Cold mornings and warm afternoons. And It's made me happy to see the trees flowering in magentas and pinks and whites. I miss Spring back home though, what I think of as REAL Spring.
I still have very little idea where I am in Westgreen, but hopefully in the four weeks left I have to figure things out I'll understand the streets and ward better.
Friday Hna Taets straightened my hair and taught me how to put eye makeup on (eye shadow, crimping of eyelashes, eye liner). We went to a Zone Meeting and the shock and awe I got from other Missionaries made all the preparation worth it! Man that was funny. Though while she was straightening my hair Hna Taets said "Is that a grey hair?" and I felt her yank out a single strand and I saw that yes, it was indeed a completely white hair. So at 22, almost 23, I have had a grey hair. She asked me what I have to be stressing about. Helloooooo! I'm a Missionary! Lots of stressors!
I had my big ONE YEAR mark this past Thursday (almost typed 'Jueves') so my Companion and I, and the two Elders that ride in our back seat all went to Red Robin to celebrate. When we were done our Server came over and told us that someone had already taken care of our bill for us, so we didn't have to pay. We were all really surprised and the place was packed full so we had no idea who this very kind person was! I'm assuming it was a Member, but I feel very grateful for that blessing someone gave us.
In exactly five weeks I think it will be my birthday and I'll be 23! I was just starting to get used to being 22, I'm getting ooooold! Well not really, but in June I'll have been graduated from High School for Five Years! Halfway to my first School Reunion! Weeeiiiirrd.
Well, that's all the updates I have for now I think.
Hablo a ustedes en la proxima semana.
