Week 8

Happy Victoria Day!  Sister Tam and I had a busy week!

We had a "random" guy call us late at night and he freaked out on us a little because we didn't call back fast enough.  It was 11 at night.  But, he came to church and wants to be baptized.  We are also working with less actives and some have come to church!  It's so exciting!  It looks like I'll be in this area for at least another 12 weeks.  The first 12 weeks is training, so I'm safe.  Sister Tam will probably leave before me.

We also went to the courthouse on exchanges and Sister Spendlove and I had a blast.  We both tried to bring weapons in accidentally.  I had my hair-cutting shears and Sister Spendlove had a huge pocket knife!  It was way funny.  She went in first and the security guys were like, "Ma'am, you have a huge knife in your bag."  Then, they look at me and ask, "Is this your bag? You have a huge pair of scissors in your bag.  Can I see them?"  I showed them and they said I couldn't bring that weapon in.  We both left laughing and we put it in the car!

So, I cut my hair off.  I let some girl at the mall do it.  She was way good.  It's different, but why not change it up while I'm away.  Plus, my Mom never would have gone for it!?  It'll be 9 inches longer by the time I get home.  I didn't realize how much hair I had.  I also had "frozen" hot chocolate.  We went golfing in the mall, glow in the dark of course!

 

I got to go to the temple.  It's very small but beautiful.  I wore red lipstick and of course, now there is a new rule with no lipstick.  Every time I wear something, the sisters get a new rule.

My life is interesting here.  It's hard being away, but I love being a missionary.  I've never been so happy.  I hope everyone is taking the opportunity to get closer to our Savior while I'm gone.  I love you all!

Love,
Sister Kiley Rexinger
