In Case you're wondering...I'm in Kansas!

Oh hello there :) So this week was pretty darn awesome! Sister Phadnis and I have officially bonded. We're super great friends. I keep getting these awesome companions and I know it's going to catch up with me someday! Or maybe I just like everyone, which is also cool :) But We got a gym membership and have been working out EVERY MORNING at 5:30 AM. It'll just be on the weeks we don't bike, but Sister Phadnis is an exercise and fitness major, so we go all out. I'm totally lifting weights and stuff!!! Whhaaat? It's fun and perfect for bonding. But this week was one of the Elder's in our ward's birthday. Elder Hudrlik. So we got a bunch of candy bars and went over to their apartment and post it noted their door. We then knocked on the door, chucked the candy bars at the Elder as hard as we could, and booked it! It was pretty great. Missionaries can have fun :) We've been spending most of our time with Stephanie. She's really struggling with her divorce, and her husband's suing her on her daughter's behalf. It's really horrible. All of her legal issues are sure bringing back some memories, and I just can't imagine what it must be like for her. I really love her though! She's so quirky and fun and I want to be just like her! haha! But we spent a good five hours at her house trying to organize it. We barely made a dent. She just can't bring herself to throw stuff away and is holding on to a lot of garbage. It's really a reflection of her life right now. It's chaotic and all of her feelings and emotions are scattered everywhere but she's unwilling to let them go. But we're still working :) We saw her late last night and the Elder's came over to give her a blessing. They also blessed the house because she believes that there are evil spirits in there. It's definitely hard to bring the spirit in sometimes, and her house is pretty creepy. She going to borrow one of my dresses for her court appearance and Sister Phadnis is going to do her hair. We can't do a lot, but it's the small and simple things that help. Hannah, her daughter really doesn't know what's going on, and hears different things from both parents. She's only ten and it's a pretty sad situation over all. But heavenly father loves these two girls so so much :) They're both getting baptized on December 21st. I know it will be so good for them :) Karen's doing fantastic! She's flippen getting baptized this SATURDAY!! She's excited, and really wants to take this next step in her life. She wants me to do a musical number, so I'm singing Come Home :) We're still working out all of the small details, but so far so good! :) We love her, and I know Heavenly Father is so proud of her!! We have a new family that we're teaching! The mom's name is Janeth, and she's from Mexico. But her husband's from Washington D.C. Her accent is so thick and it's hard to understand sometimes, but she is so sweet! and really wants to take her children to church. She has three kids: Gustavo 11, Joesph 3 and joseoline 1 :) the kids are really loud, and it's hard to teach a lesson, but we're doing our best. The two younger ones are always trying to climb on my lap, which is cute, but not missionary ok, so I have to pick them up and sit them next to me :) I really hope they embrace and love the Gospel! Well I'm running out of fun things to talk about. But I guess that's ok. This week's bike week again, so just pray for me that I'll survive especially since it just gets colder and colder ;) I love you all and Hope life's going great! :) Keep working and keep writing me! :)
