Ok, so day before yesterday evening, I was looking at the calendar app in our new phone (more on that later) and I realized something:
COUNTING TODAY, I HAVE THREE MORE PREPARATION DAYS IN THE FIELD!!!
And ever since then, I've been in super-freak-out mode. I'm so shaky; I can barely walk straight most of the time. I'm sleeping better than I had been, but it's from sheer exhaustion, I think. I certainly can't type straight. Random things I'll be able to do, or have to deal with, keep popping into my head at random moments.
Using Facebook? Not having someone back me out of my parking spot? Looking for a job? Playing Video Games? Looking for a school? Not having a companion? Looking for somewhere to live? Church callings? Watching TV? Dating (did you listen to general conference)? Answering the phone in English? Not wearing a skirt?
I'M NOT READY!
Ok, Joking aside, I'll probably be OK, but I'm more nervous/excited than I've been since I was, like, 10. I feel woefully unprepared for the real world, but I'm excited to be home and do all the things I love. I'm nervous that Hermana Walser won't be ready to take over the area, but excited to move on and start my life.
Eeeeeeeeeek.
Ok, in terms of the work, we still aren't doing much. We’re trying to get creative in terms of contacting, but after we've tried everything, we're right back to knocking doors again.
On a lighter note, Ruben and Rosa are back. We have a narrow window to teach them together before he heads down to Mexico to help another of his daughters move, since her husband has been deported. But I think it might be good to be able to teach Rosa by herself. Ruben's so shy about meeting members, but Rosa isn't. If we introduce her to some members, she might start coming to church without him.
Ok, we also got new phones. Before, we had a junky, but indestructible brick. I rather liked it, but it simply could not hold up to the intense texting loads. And it dropped calls a lot. Now we have the LG Remarq, a wide phone with a slide-out keyboard. Of course, when it was first announced, P. doll pulled his whole, "getting new iPhone," trick. I think he's played that one like, 7 times since I've been on the mission. And shortly thereafter, her joked about getting new iPads in July, teasing Elder Senator. I'm a little nervous about the full qwerty keyboard. I'm afraid it'll be easily broken. Of course, that will fall under the "not my problem" category, but all the same...
