herroooo

we just got back from a little outing to a botanical garden. it was cool except it started raining about halfway through and we got soaked. let's talk about something sad/something that made me mad (yeah i still get mad sometimes even though i'm a missionary). so i had asked my mission president if on my last day before leaving i could go on a tour of the island and he was like yeah ok and i was like yaaay happy. then this week in our interviews he was like you know, i changed my mind. i don't think it would be a good idea  for you to do that, so you can forget about it. and i was like uhhhhh whaaa?? and i was sad. aaand kind of mad. so anyway, the sister that took us to the gardens today was asking us about that and i told her that i couldn't go anymore, and then soeur cook and i were just joking around with her like "well you know if you want to kidnap us or whatever, you could just force us to go on the tour of the island..." ALL IN JEST. but i guess she thought it was a good idea and whoosh! off she drove and i was like aaah where are we going?! so then we were like uhh...we would LOVE to do the tour of the island buuuuut we feel too guilty soo can we go back now? so then we went to eat at mcdonalds and everything was fine. haha! i was sorely tempted though. i just wanna see the whole island! baah. oh well. someday...

anyway. THIS WEEK WE HAD A BAPTISM AND IT WAS AWESOME! loved it. it was a little boy named vaireva. his mom is an excommunicated member and his dad is not a member, but the baptism was great and everyone was really touched. the dad even cried. and OK FINE i cried too. i've turned into a big fat baby lately and it's actually kind of funny. 

welp guys. let's just get it out there. i have two weeks left AND IT IS WEIRD. soeur cook has started keeping a tally of how many people ask me about leaving a day. saturday's count was 13. and i have a feeling it's going to go up exponentially. and people wanting to feed me massive amounts of food is also going up exponentially. so there goes my plans to try and lose weight before i came home. haa what was i thinking?! foolish. 

ok well soeur cook is waiting for the computer and i'm gonna see y'all in 2 weeks anyway, so i'm gonna cut this short. love you!!!

love,
