Kelly got baptizedddddd
Hey happy but chaos week! Kelly, my darling friend from Mexico got baptized! Highlight was probably the fact that us and the elders made it through the musical number without losing it and laughing. Also the fact that Kelly is ridiculously converted and happy and faithful and she's just SO GOOD. I wonder all the time if I was just Reagan... wandering the streets of Vancouver and going to university... if I would be humble enough to accept this message. YSA is so cool.
I don't have much time because we're going to play volleyball with our zone (first ever activity with the elders, due to President Wong wanting us to be able to communicate with each other and such). It's going to be quite entertaining hahahha. The elders are all thrilled out of their minds, some of the sisters are terrified.
Ummmmm other news???? I can now say "sideburns" and introduce myself in Korean. Point for Sister Curtis. We also spend a lot of time with the Chinese YSA sisters (one is from Taiwan, the other Hong Kong) which means when we travel in a pack it is me with four Asians and the looks I get are SO FUNNY. We were talking to two boys at a bus stop and then one of them turned and looked at me and was like, "Wait are you friends with them?" and I was like "um yeah NI HAO."
We also had a killer food drive this week, MLC which is, as always, my favourite part of the month, and some Spanish elders thought I was from Uruguay sooo the Gift of Tongues has not entirely left me yet. FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!
Okay I wish I had something lovely and profound to share with all of you at the moment but my brain is scattered and the thing that meant the most to me, which I learned this week, is actually what my dad just shared with me:
"What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness".
-Marcus Aurelius (my dad's favourite human)
So this is what I'll hold in the forefront of my mind as I run around from Skytrain to bus stop to shopping mall this week, trying to say the right thing to the right person at the right time so that they know who they are and why they're here and how to hear God.
I love you all!

(Okay guys please look at these pictures cause they're at least decently funny, particularly the one of Sister Kim2 and the picture of her friends... imagine my panic when she asked me to guess which one was her....)
