For the first week, we were busy, in and out of conferences, going on
companion exchanges and then I got sick, things were just crazy! But we finally
made it through. Haha sickness-wise, I no longer have any idea what goes on with
my body anymore. They say that when you finish your mission, you 'die', but then
your body also literally falls apart. I've watched old missionaries just
exchange all the problems with their bodies like a bunch of grandmas, and
instead of just listening, now I'm joining in the conversation! Oh well, my body
can rest later, I want to work!!
In the second week, we were just busy with preparations for Christmas
parties, missionary conferences and all sorts of caroling. I honestly get so
tired by the end of the day, I just love the last thirty minutes of my day, when
I get to relax and talk to my companion, the other sisters, and lay in my
futon.
So recently I was thinking about Disney's Beauty and the Beast (they're
posters are everywhere in Japan, apparently they're doing the Musical in Nagoya
right now) and I remembered a song from the extended version of the movie, that
is actually in the musical, but it's called "Human Again". All the characters,
the clock, candlestick, tea pot, and others sing about how they think the spell
they're under will be broken soon, and they day dream about how nice it will be
to become human again.
The clock, Cogsworth, sings;
"When I'm human again, when I'm human again,
when the world finally starts making sense,
I'll unwind for a change...
...Wouldn't that be strange!"(The candlestick, Lumiere, cuts in)
(Cogsworth continues...)
"I can't help it if I'm t-t-tense!"
I may not be as tightly wound as Cogsworth, but when I hit up the real
world again I can't wait to be able to relax some and see if I can also be human
again!
Haha sorry it's short, but I promise more details next week! I love you
all!

mission president, ME, the strangest missionary you ever did meet, and Sister
Ringwood, the wife of President Ringwood who came for a tour of our mission! It
was good to see people from my home ward again)
