Abby's Mission to Orem

From Abby - E I G H T! Hiiii :) Isn't Eight Such a weird way to spell that word? WHO thought a G belongs in any word that has a GH.  HAPPY PDAY  I often think about the fact that on my technical day off the rest of the world is starting.. I never thought that I would view Monday as such a pleasant day. (Although its summer now so kids riddle the streets.) Last Pday was jam packed. I can't lie I had anger in my chest as I went through the somewhat tedious tasks that are a weekly requirement.. one task that has been added to that list is the glamorous Quick Quack subscription that comes with every mission car, I kid you not popping the car into nutral so that it can catch the wheel and pull you through  felt like mission impossible.  The person outside was yelling "Neautral! Neautral!" And everyone inside is freaking out and I'm just trying to freaking put the car in Neautral. I don't want us to die either you geese  Anyways we survived but my wallet didn't....

From Abby - "Do you need to be compelled?" I don't want to talk about it This email covers May 12th-18th The following first couple paragraphs are Abby.. at the start of last Pday.. Hello and good morning! Its currently 7:20 and i'm uninterested in rushing to finish this email tonight so lets hope and pray its complete in a timely manner  (*future me* This is Ironic ^) I just braided my hair and am contemplating the fact that I need a haircut.. Sister Peterson offers me scissors everytime I mention it so now it's become a quiet thought  Catch me with a bob in a couple weeks Anywho  Last Pday the entire morning was riddled with adventures from the mission office, most of our zone showed up around 8:30AM to send off Elder Loesch and wish him well as he departs with his long awaited Visa to mecedonia! eventually every ZL and STL pulled up to do their typical Pday run, grabbing packages, rummaging the mission offiice, and obviously visiting with other missionaries.. P...

From Abby - THAT'S VIAL HEYYYYY EMAIL NUMBER 2 I don't even know whats happening.. I'm currently surrounded by the noise of happy missionaries  Last Pday was SO strange. Of course president Brown decided that Cinco de Mayo would be celebrated by a 3v3 basketball tournament.. I cant  believe that i spent 3 hours of my Pday watching Elders show off their basketball skills It was SO GOOD to see other missionaries that I LOVE SO MUCH. Specifically Sister Ortiz. Tell me why I felt like I was with my mom and felt like crying because shes a literal safe space to me now  They brought fat heads to cheer people on and I think it's the most darlingest of things :)  This week we ran into a guy named shane who we'd actualy met before in his nicer house (Has since downsized) he lives in the cottages now and when we made some small talk with him  we mentioned how we discovered a LOT of very fat worms in our basement starewell..  he says "You should bring me some for my fi...

From Abby - May the force Hi ALL! I think this is the third time I've missed writing my weekly due to circumstances that I probably could have handled better.. This email will cover April 28th- May4th This morning (May 5th) I had a vial experience that I would like to share.  per the usual on a Pday morning I walked through our living room/kitchen to begin my load of laundry and as I walk I feel something on the bottom of my foot (I was wearing socks don't stress) that stuck and felt as though I had stepped on something slightly sticky or a piece of lint.. as one does I brushed it off from the bottom of my foot only to discover a  GARGANTUAN SPIDER!??!  And he wasnt even squished. post landing on the floor he scurried under the counter. He has since been murdured by sister Orton and for that I am grateful  I wish I could understand the mind of that spider, why would he exit the safe space of under the counter when he almost got TRAMPLED?! Theres probably a life lesso...
