Happy Thanksgiving?

Everyday feels the same 

She walks alone with her music loud 

She's given up on fittin in 

No need to impress the cool crowd 

Wishing that time would move faster 

looking forward to what come after 

right now, but right now 

This is your time 

This is your place 

Its no accident You're here 

So don't wish it away 

Look around 

and you will see 

there is somebody who needs you 

You are where you are meant to be 

Yes, there are better days to come 

But don't let that keep you from 

living today, this is your time 

this is your place - Lyndy Butler

HOLA!!! Lol!

Well this week was Thanksgiving! YAY! Our mission prez and his wife invited us sisters over to their house for Thanksgiving dinner! FUN! It was different than home, but it was still good, and it was amazing to hang out with friends for the day...mainly Hna.Turcios lol. 

Everything was good, we were eating laughing, singing, and then disaster struck. Prez. announced we were going to all get flu shots after dinner. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I HATE SHOTS! They freak me out. Well one by one we all got pulled over into a chair to get vaccinated, one of the sisters screamed, it sounded like she was giving birth or something. Then it was my turn, I tried hard to be brave, but uh yeah no, I broke into tears. Then I was so embaressed to have EVERYONE watching that I couldn't get into my happy place and calm down. So, uh yeah, Prez looked up at his wife and said, "Hun, you gotta get her to breathe or she's gonna be on the floor." Nice... I tried to breathe but yeah I'm a baby and couldn't.  FUN stuff now all the sisters know that shots are one of my worst nightmares. Que vergüenza!

I don't know why but Thanksgiving the last few years for me always ends on some weird bitterish note. C'est la vie. 

I also got a package from my mom. YAY! I just gotta say my mom and sis sure know me! Oh, it also had stuff for TG dinner sooo we are saving it for Christmas. FUN!

I also got new glasses. Too bad they don't work and I have to go check he prescription again. 

So like on Weds we had divisions, and I ended up with the "problem" sisters of the mission. Let's just say that was interesting...not bad, just different. Then when I went home my companion had bought me an american style chocolatecake donut! I love my comp!

We also did a service project on Sat as a zone- cleaning garbage in the park street thing. Uh yeah, right. This place has no end to garbage. But we cleaned as best we could. It was funish I guess lol.

Random. I miss eggnog. I also have to wonder if traditionally eggnog has alcohol to kill the bacteria in the raw egg. Just a thought...

Last night the other sisters from my branch came over and we took a "family" christmas picture. FUN! It was wild and afterwards our house was a WRECK! So Vally and I had to clean. Then I got a migraine. FETCH! I took migraine meds that Prez' wife gave me but they didn't help much. bummer. 

Well Friday I will be twenty...crazy! Next week I am going shopping with my mission aunt for my bday. FUN FUN FUN!

Well love y'all! Hermana Shingleton
