Sasster Dunford

Hey you guys! 

I literally went back forth in my brain today of weather to write a group email or not. I was SO close to not. But here I am. Writing a group email. Hopefully it won't bore you!

It was a harder busier week! 

Went on two splits. Or exchanges! Whatever you want to call them :) haha wow those wear me out! But they are so good. Being a sister training leader is great. But it's also sometimes a challenge. Challenges are the best. They equal growth. I love growth. Well. Spiritual growth. I won't go as far as saying I love physical growth. Hahaha I'd really appreciate if I could shrink physically and swell spiritually. Hahaha!! Okay I will stop there.

I am really loving my companion Sister Sam. We are just way too similar!!! Our brains are. We think the same all the time. We are just so happy together!! It's rare that you find us upset or sad or discouraged. I LOVE IT. I love when two companions work at the same level and it's like boom happiness. 

A few FUNNY quotes from Sister Dunford and Sister Sam this week:

"Wow, if I were an ant I would never put forth that much effort to climb this high!!" -Sister Sam after we found some ANTS in our top floor apartment! Hahaha I was like crying laughing after she said that."

".... they moved from China to Asia last year!!" -Sister Dunford as we were talking about some members in the ward. (Um geography classes needed.) I don't even know what to do with myself. 

"BUGS BUGS there are bugs crawling on me!!!!!!" -Sister Sam woke up screaming one night HAHAHAhaha turned on the light thinking there were bugs crawling everywhere but slowly awakened to realize she was dreaming and sleep talking hahaha. 

Anyways. I wish I could remember all the hilarious moments. Because there are so many!! Sometimes time will like freeze as we are walking through the streets of Harlem and I will just be like DYING over my life right now. Like WHAT. AM. I. DOING. It's so funny. A lot of little moments like that. 

Example: knocking in the yuckiest most disgusting smelliest project buildings in the whole wide world. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!! Hahah. Time stops sometimes and I'm like woah this is weird. But most of the time it's like "yeah this is life." Don't even remember what it's like to not knock doors in yucky buildings. Hahaha. 

I think the city does things to people's brains. We've all lost our minds here in New York City. Because every time I go somewhere upstate or even to Central Park I'm like ohhhh "my brain is back!!" Haha I just thing the city is so chaotic and crazy. But I love it. Weird. 

Transfers are in one week. What! I think I will stay here another transfer! But we will see. YOU NEVER KNOW. They don't call them "shock calls" for nothin! "May the odds be ever in your favor." For reals!  

Hey I best be moving on with my lovely P day in NYC. 

Let me leave you with a quote that smacks all missionaries in the faces!! Hahahah. It's straight up motivation!! 

"Missionaries who understand their purpose understand that the world has NO ACCESS to atoning grace and salvation except through them and the church they represent. When you walk into a home, what are you offering them? Access to forgiveness, grace, and exaltation. And guess what? Newsflash. Without you, they don't get it."

-Elder Dowdle

DUN DUN dunnnnnnn. Whne I read that I'm like GOODNESS GRACIOUS I need to be passing out the gospel like throwin out at EVERYONE. Which we do. But yeah. I'm ending this email now. 

I love you!!!!
