Oh man, what a week!
Did you know that I have
actually been a missionary for quite some time now? As it turns out,
last Friday I only had 99 days left. (??!) It's kind of like an MBM
tradition to go eat at this restaurant called Ninety Nine on this said
day of your mission, so me and Elder Homer took our little greenies with
us and reminisced about all of our glory days. I'm pretty sure Sister
Jessop is getting sick of me saying "It just goes by SO FAST!" She keeps
telling members, "Oh yea, she only has 97 days left." Or, "She'll be
home in 95." And then I yell at her, "WE'RE NOT COUNTING!!!!!!"
We've been volunteering at this Old Folks home the past few weeks, and this week we showed up just in time for TRIVIA HOUR. These 90+ year olds sure know their stuff - they knew the answers to crazy questions like "What magical instrument did Mozart write about?" and "What animal automatically ages every January 1st?" and other ones I had never even heard of so I can't even relay them to you. (Apparently some of these folks have lived there so long that they just have the answers memorized to the entire Trivia game!) And then there was this one sweet lady, bless her heart. This is how her Trivia went:
Q: Who lives at the Vatican?
A: The Pope.
Q: What religion is the Pope?
A: ... I don't know.
I was dying. It was so adorable.
Also, I kissed a frog this week. It did not turn into a prince. #bummer
Anyways, not much time to email because we spent the day at the temple and in Boston! (Not going to complain about that!)
Hoorah for Israel!
xoxo,
Sister Gledhill
