Letter Eighty Six
Date: April 22, 2008Area: Lomas del Norte
Companion: Hna. Castillo
Hey Mom,
I didn’t write yesterday because today we went to the temple, so today is my P-day. A good way to spend my last P-day in the mission I think.
How do you stand to drink V-8? Did I tell you that I tried it once in my mission? It was the most horrible experience and I am still suffering the emotional side effects.
Hey, I was just wondering if you know when my Homecoming talk actually is. What is the plan for when I get home? Is it just gonna be you and Dad and Jess or who or what? Well, I guess it is useless asking that question because this is the last time I will check my email in the mission. Next Monday we spend in the President’s house, and no one checks their email because we are all going home the next day.
Did I tell you that I am flying home alone? There are 10 gringos that are going home the same day. 4 go to Atlanta. 5 go to LA and I go to Ft. Worth...all alone. I’m kinda upset about that. It is going to be a rough day, and I am sorry if I am highly emotional by the time I get to Denver. It can’t be helped though, because I will be alone and won’t have anyone to share the ordeal with.
About my foot. I think it would be a good idea to go to the doctor. It is still just as swollen, but it doesn’t hurt as much. But I’ve heard that swelling is a bad thing. Who knows, maybe it is all in my head. But it can’t be ALL in my head, because at least some of it is in my foot.
Well, I love you. I can’t think of anything else to tell you. I guess I’ll fill you all in when I get home.
Oh, one last thing that I just thought of. Last night we spent the night with some other sisters. We had to be at the stake center early, so we stayed with them because they live closer. One of the sisters (Hna. Morales) is from Honduras and taught us how to dance "punta." It’s sort of a mix between hula and something else...I’m not sure what. Lots of hip movement. I made a video. It was really fun. Everyone made fun of me because I am the gringa that can’t move, but I think by around 2 a.m. I was getting it down. I’ll show you when I get home.
I love you.
