Mom! I can't believe
it's your 40th birthday! I remembered when we were doing weekly planning and I
was like oh my gosh it's December this week! So Happy Birthday Mom! :) It is so
crazy how time flies! It already has been flying for me here. Yep I'm in West
Lafayette, I’m not sure that it is like a huge city haha.
It's like a big
college town though. Purdue University is right here so pretty much everyone in
my ward lives in mansions and are professors or graduate students there. We
have been getting feed every night and I swear we go to a new mansion every
day. We went to a plastic surgeons house for dinner the other day. It's really
funny though because we basically live in the ghetto. Our ward is so huge like
bigger than any ward that I have been to in Utah and I thought that was really
crazy! There are so many members here willing to help the missionaries and they
all love going to lessons with us! :) President Cleveland decided that he wants
elders and sisters in every ward so we have elders in our ward too and they are
extremely weird haha.
Don’t worry our
apartment came fully equipped with ghetto bedding I'll send you a picture haha.
It is so freezing here
so if you would like to send me more wool socks and those boots I would love
you forever!!!
I miss you too! I met
this lady tracting yesterday who reminded me of you like a ton except she was Catholic
and didn't want us to come back haha. Oh I need to tell you guys a funny story!
So my first day tracting we met a guy named Melvin and he asked us on a date to
the red lobster haha! He is a really nice guy and I hope he becomes a new
investigator. He actually just moved here from Chicago to get away from his
gang. He was telling us how he wasn't sure if he wanted to talk about Jesus
because apparently then Jesus would know all the wrong that he has done. haha.
We get to go play
bingo with these cute old ladies every week and it was really funny because the
lady I was playing with won like five times and she kept shoving her chocolate
bars in her belly folds every time she won one and then she offered me some
haha. Nasty! But seriously she is adorable!
So I'm not sure if you heard about the tornadoes in Kokomo here? But we got to do this super amazing service project there and clean up all the debris left. It was so crazy seeing all these houses totally torn up! You can probably look up about the service project I think I might be in some of the videos if you look. We got to wear the sweet Mormon helping hands vest which has always been a dream of mine! haha.
I love my companion!
We are seriously like best friends already! She is super awesome! I hope you
guys get to meet her someday she is from Parker Idaho. We already have like a
billion inside jokes because you know that’s how I roll haha.
The people here are
really nice! We met this guy Bill tracting the other day and he has 7 kids and
is basically a Catholic version of a Mormon haha. I really hope we can teach
his whole family! :)
I swear I'm going to
get so fat the members really take care of us haha.
I miss Bradley's jokes
and I met this Elder who is so much like Dallon oh my gosh! I can't even
imagine him teaching people he is such a jokester haha.
We have a full P- day on Thursday and just like 3 hours today so that will be
fun to get to know more people!
Well I love you guys!
Write me some letters it really helps!
Happy Birthday! And
Happy Thanksgiving Homies! Pray always!
Love,
Sister Brooks
