Dear Wonderful, amazing, funny, not so good at writing letters with a microphone Mother,

 

WHAT THE DEVIL?!?!? Will you please go back and read that email. I have no idea what you said. At one point I was starting to think you might have been on something when you wrote it. Who did what with the car that crushed a wrist and tore ligaments and ovaries? And what happened with Lauren? Did you say something about my broken car? I didnt even know I had one. I am so massively confused! I was going to call you Edith though because that thing spelled my name wrong. I was like "Oh my gosh my mom cant spell my name now?!" Clearly I have been away too long. Ok that was like the funniest letter of my life! You might need to resend all the information to me with a code. Oh man...Sister Reynolds and I just laughed for about 10 minutes. Oh good I got my ab 

workout in. Mother I love you more than life itself. You are wonderful. 

Well I am just going to tell you about my week because I dont know how to respond to that email....I hope everyone is still alive and well because after that email I feel like maybe there was a zombie attack and everyones dead and chaos has ensued...and I  dont know what else. Im uncertain.

Anyways super funny story for the week!!:

So last P-day we had an activity with the zone. We were all told about it and asked to bring a broom. We didnt have one so we brought a mop. We all thought oh cool we are going to play broom hockey or something. Oh no thats not it at all. We get there and the Elder is like "we are going to play missionary quidditch." Oh my gosh if you want to laugh super hard right now please close your eyes and picture this: 8 elders and 2 sisters running around a basketball court with an assortment of brooms, mops, and random sticks between there legs. 2 of the biggest elders have pillows in their hands that they use to beat other players (yep those are the bludgers) The game is basically ultimate frisbee played with a football except for you have to keep one hand on your broom at all times. So here we are all these missionaries running around with brooms in between our legs throwing a football and trying not to have the crap beat out of us with pillows. Well unfortunately the elders are smart and they know not to pass it to me so I really didnt get much "play" time, and my broom was taller than me. So here I am walking around with my broom actually dragging on the floor. I turn to sister Reynolds and Im like "hey sister look Im the sweeper!" I think I am so punny! Seriously I kill myself...sweeper...do you get it? Oh boy why am I so funny? I bet dad laughed. Ok well the really funny part of the story comes now. Sister Reynolds passes the ball to Elder Moore and he misses so he lunges to recover his fumble and in the process lets go of his broom. Well the broom smacks him in the face and I just see spit fly out of his mouth...it was nasty. And then all of a sudden he is touching his face and hes like "oh no...oh no ....oh no." So I am getting a little worried about him but still kinda giggling. And he looks over...yep he chipped his tooth! The best was the phone call to Sister Sagers it went a little like this:

Elder Moore: Hey Sister Sagers this is Elder Moore...I chipped my tooth.

silence

Elder Moore: Well I was running and a broom smacked me in the face.

silence

Elder Moore: Well Sister Sagers the Broom was between my legs.....

 

We were all laughing so hard! Oh man it was pretty funny. He got it fixed super fast. One of the members in his ward was a dentist. We all still laugh about it. It was seriously so funny! Holy cow. Man. too funny. Whew. Is everyone else laughing? Was this only 

funny if you saw it? Im giggling.

Well other news...we really dont have much. We have been tracting a lot lately and just trying to find. Its sorta working out. Tracting is tough in this area. No one is home and if they are they dont want to listen. But its pretty exciting. We still have fun while doing it.

OH I know. We saw a snake the other day! It scared the poop right out of me! Seriously! So we have this creek that we always cross and usually we see turtles there. Well there are two sides to this creek one is over a bridge and it takes us to area A and the other is over some rocks a little further down that takes us into area B. Well we are crossing the rocks into area b and I was like "why dont we ever see turtles down here?" When I look over and there is a turtle sitting on a log down the bank. I exclaim to sister Reynolds "turtle!!" And we head down the bank to look at it. By the time we get down there the turtle is gone. We are both like dang turtle! we missed it. So I am standing there and I look to my right and a little further down the bank I just see this massive snake body. I didnt see its head just the body it was dark brown with some red in it and it was thick! So Im like "holy crap" I hit Sister Reynolds arm and Im like "lets get out of here." So I start booking it down this bank across the rocks and into area b with sister Reynolds right on my heels. I am pretty sure I flashed the world because I was running so fast my skirt was up over my waist but I didnt care I was not about to get eaten! I am pretty sure that turtle was in cahoots with the snake. It lures in the innocent bystander and then the snake eats them! Well not these two servants of God! The whole time we are running Sister Reynolds is like why are we running? I didnt tell her til we were safely on the road and she then looks at me and says " you idiot now we have to cross the rocks again to get to the other area!!!!" Oops I didnt think about that....well we crossed over the rocks safely the second time...yes we did run. Then we walked further down the creek to the bridge. We crossed over it everything was fine and dandy then as we are crossing back over later that day we stopped to look for turtles. There were none. I am pretty sure those turtles are smart, because I look over and Im like "Holy freak sister look at that snake." there was  a different snake hiding in the water. Its head was resting right on this log. It blended in super good. It was black and white and HUGE!! Holy cow I was so scared...so I took a picture of it. It creeps me out! We left and are all safe but we are a little more leery when we cross over that bridge. CREEPY!

Well thats about the craziness for the week! I hope everything is going good for yall...oh yeah I get to call you on sunday!! WOOT WOOT! Ok it will probably be around 6 or  7ish Texas time. How far ahead of yall are we? I dont remember! But look for it then. Im so excited to talk to you! I cannot believe it is already mothers day! Holy cow how did that happen! Time flies. I feel like we just talked for christmas. Oh and did I tell you Sister Reynolds and I are both staying! Woot Woot! We are excited. I think I might die in this area. We will see.

Well mother I love you so much! Til we email again...hopefully I can understand it next time...hahaha. I love you!!!
