Roll With The Punches And Everything's OK

Well as always life is not ever normal as a missionary. I have been trying to learn to roll with the punches. There is a song By Lenka called roll with the punches that I love its basically my life. A very smart lady I once knew once talked about how as humans we cant be stiff like oaks we need to be like willows, firm but willing to bend when the wind blows so that we dont break. 

Another song by Lenka that I'm living by is Everything's OK. Christ gives me hope everyday, life is tough and sometimes Ill be honest all I want is to go home, but I pray everyday and I receive the strength I need. 

This last week we had interveiws with the President and he had me go to the doctor because I have been sick a ton off and on. So we went to the temple where the doctor that speaks English is! Sad thing, she said I had an infection in my stomach, but I don't know if I believe that, but for three days I could not eat chocolate, dairy, and pop. OK.. so what was I supposed to eat? I have no clue. 

We then got to frolick about the AMAZING visitors center for a while. SO MUCH FUN SO COOL! Then we went to the distribution center, and got some stuff yay! 



Well, also this week, our shower broke and we couldn't use it. To fix it they had to cut/dig a huge hole in it. Nice... There was dirt and dust everywhere it took forever to clean. 

Its funny people here have a hard time saying Shingleton. So one of my investigators call me Hermana Jinggumbells and the elders in my district call me Shingwungwongchung. HAHAHA! Its crazy.

This is mostly for my sister "I like tortillas, I like tortillas, I like em more, I like em more, tortillas are my entire world! Yes I ADORE torillas here!

I have had to sing play guitar for a few people this week, aaa scary! But it feels good to sing again. One sister was all like Oh you sing with the voice of an angel! WOW, thanks. Its funny I have been helping teach an English class and this week they learned the song Rolling in the deep by Adele for pronunciation practice. HAHA Sweet! 


One thing that seems to be a huge theme in my head latley is that Family is AMAZING and such a gift! I thank my Father in Heavan for my awesome family. Well Love yall! Hermana Shingleton
