Not Every Week is the Best Week -- (Mar 4)

Mommy!,!

Oh, I've been just waiting to get an email from you! Thank you for sending such a positive, happy one, I needed a smile!

MOM pretty please with a cherry on top send me that picture! I don’t even remember who you were talking about! Are they companions now or something? Hmmm.. you know, funny story. We were at the Siems this week to practice a few pieces for the musikalischer abend and the Mom was telling us all kinds of stories about her son on a mission in the alps! She said that he has a 4 man apartment, and 3 of them end up staying up late at night talking about the cute Sisters in their mission! The Elders were over there with us because Elder Watts was accompanying her on the piano, and one of them goes, "Pshhh we would never do that in our mission!" and I about burst out laughing. These two Elders are basically the brothers I never wanted (I really do have love for them, though!) and they tell us all about these girls they are writing back home. They totally talk about girls! Haha I really love our district.

I’m really sorry I don’t have amazing spiritual experiences to share this week, I don’t even really feel like writing any emails. I know I can get through this Mom. [Having a rough time with a companion that struggles with depression and lack of motivation] I know it. Well, I just really believe it, and I think that’s all God expects from me right now. I never thought that this would be a problem that I’d face on my mission, but I guess it’s for my good. I’m not ever going to back down from working hard though. Maybe it’ll turn more to working hard on my companionship, but I'm never going to stop trying out here.

I really wish I could give you a hug right now. You have no idea how much I just wanted to call you and talk to you last night, I knew you could make it better. Sigh, I can’t wait to get to talk on Mother’s Day! Is that in May? or April? Who knows, maybe I’ll still be in Elmshorn!

This is random, but just a thought. Would you maybe want to fast together this week? I didn’t get a proper fast on Sunday, and I could use some blessings and guidance. Maybe we could do one together, me, you and dad or something? I'm trying not to type it but yeah, I'm really down.

I love you a million Mom! You are my lifeline, and I love you a million emails from YOU!

P.S. The cat pictures are super funny hehe!

Love, Sister Macey Ingalls
