Rooftop Laundry

Hey! 

I’m racking my brain of what happened this past week but it was a pretty uneventful week. The highlight was yesterday; a family went to church with us! Other than that, it was a week full of sweating and walking. 

Also, the homeless man visited my Sunday School class again. He came in and started singing his song again for the class. Then he asked me if I would like to buy a Chihuahua. He pulled out the tiniest dog I have ever seen from his bag. Poor thing was scared to death. It's probably a wild dog that he found. 

Here is an awesome poem that President Eyring used in a talk but it was written by a missionary named Jack L Brinkerhoff. It’s pretty accurate.

A mission is a strange experience. Its a trial and a test.

 A mission throws you at the worst yet teaches you the best. 

They told me this would be the best period of my life. 

But I gues they didnt explain it all too clear. 

I came out looking for a bed of roses,

 I just wasn't expecting all the thorns I found out here.

 Since I've been out I'v e never been so happy.  I've never been so depressed. 

I've never felt so forsaken, I've never felt so blessed. 

I've never been so confused. My mind has never been so clear. 

I've never been so discouraged. I've never been so full of hope. 

I think i can go forever. I think I've come to the end of my rope.

 Ive never had it so easy. Ié never had it so tough.

Things have never gone so smoothly. Things have never been so rough.

 I've never traveled through more valleys. I've never ascended somany peaks.

 I've never met so many neat people. I've never met so many freaks.

 I've never had so many ups. I've never had so many downs.

 I've never worn so many smiles. I've never worn so many frowns.

 I've never been so lonely. I've never had so many friends. 

Man I hope this is all over soon. Gosh, I hope it never ends. 

I love my cute companion. We are doing well. We have made it a goal to try and say hi to everyone, always smile, and try and talk to and teach everyone! Thank you so much for your emails and updates! I love you so much!
