the deteriorating mami durrant finds her love for the chilluns 10/10/17

i realise this is being sent really late at night and stuff
but i love you all so ill send it in hopes that there are some survivors other than my mom who still faithfully read my group emails. anyone? anyone?
soooooo
tired.
thats all i can really think. they all told me this would happen. they said i would physically crumble at the end of my mission without any explanation. i said no i dont even need sleep its fine.
now the girl who used to stay up until 4 am wants to sleep by 8 pm. whoooo... who is this grandma je suis devenu...
i think though its for good reasons. we did so many lessons this week. we are actually at the point where we have so many amis who want the lessons so badly that there are too many lessons we can possibly do between the two of us (like it says in the white bible, but i never thought that would actually become true), so we did splits with members like all week long and it was super productive and tiring!!! i dont know if ive ever worked so hard in all my mission. and it was hot. man it was hot this week. good thing we have the air conditioning.
we teach mostly children and sr meloen and i were so touched this week by the numerous, simple actions that children take to gain faith in jesus christ. i saw some very sacred things happen in the testimonies of young kids this week and it was just so sweet... i love that children are so close to heavenly father. its a different kind of searching that they do once they search to know who he is, it is just pure and sincere and beautiful and simple. and it leads them to know very real things that we as adults forget sometimes. (did i just call myself an adult? i still feel like im 14) even though little rosina asks me for a different present every time i see her and its a little annoying, i give stuff to her anyway because i feel that love that heavenly father has for her and that he is so proud that she learned how to pray and prays every day now and taught her little brother how to pray also. she even convinced her mom to come to church with her. children are powerful. they speak with the tongue of angels
we were supposed to go on a hike today that was gonna be super cool, but it didnt work out for technical reasons and i was really sad and mad. but we did a different hike that was also pretty. it was like 8 kilometers and a lot of it was on the road lol. my legs hurt im out of shape.
also we had a sisters conference at presidents house and i loved that thing so much. i felt like i wzs back in young womens at testimony meeting and we all cry because you just feel the love man! i dont know why when a bunch of girls get together for spiritual stuff it is SO SPIRITUAL. like we cant get along if its not for something spiritual but otherwise whoopdeedoo. but i love these sisters... its hard knowing that many of them i wont see again pretty soon
other than that i dont know what to say. i love my mission and i will always love it. if there is any advice i could give to any young adolescent, lost or confident, short or tall, faithful or doubtful, it is go serve a mission. you go out there and you serve your Savior who served you enough already. it doesnt matter that we are not perfect but god needs YOU!

elder roi in his prime, a good advertisement and just a cute situation





 you!!!! you whom i love so. thanks for all your emails. dont be trunky for me just pray for me to finish strong!! hahaha theres lots of emotions happening in my life right now... its crazy. i dont know what all of you did your last 4 weeks of the mission but its like nothing ive ever experienced in my life! i feel like half of me is dying and half of me is being born again and half of me is the one giving birth... all of those are good things technically but its a lot to take in.
i wont be sending an email next monday but it will be next wednesday(the 18th). we have a conference with elder ardent (?) who is a 70 and he will be here monday. so its not a pday.
as for other things dont worry about me. just tell me how to register for classes at usu (i let the byu thing go for now lol hope you are rejoicing)
super sad im missing the halloween party but send me pictures :)

thats super cool of scott and karen to let that girl live with them.

aj and nicole dont die at school i need you as tutors after
ian looking good even though your foot is being stupid and your football team doesnt win. thanks for the poem. i like to see that nothing has changed
teesh you just keep running. you remind me of me when i started cross country because now you dont have time to email me about the details. sad day
frosty dad sent me a picture of his 4th grade class and i found him, after i thought it was you. but there is a little boy named Iona that i know and he is 9 but he looks just like you. it is weird for me too. i think im the most scared to see you
mom ive been an stl since august but idk why he just sent that haha. and soon you will be the one making girls laugh in the nursing home.
dad i sometimes feel like you will have a lot of fun in tahiti because you will just astound the tahitians. ive never heard a tahitian talk about shakespeare. but thanks for the quotes to keep me literarily intellectual. i dont know if thats a word.
i love you all bon soireeeeeeee taoto maitai
