Transfer 7:Week 4; Cover zone

Long days, short weeks.

That pretty much describes missionary service. Our mission had some really exciting news, we're probably going to have more than 6 million people coming to temple square this summer, so it'll be busier than ever. It also means that someone *cough* Sister Pielstick *cough* is going to have to get over her crowd anxiety. It had to happen sometime... I suppose I'll just pretend I'm at Disney World, only without the horrendous lines and instead of trying to avoid the people I am going to try and talk to all of them. But we're having trainings galore to help us accommodate the many people who come to Temple Square... Historical training is my favorite, mainly because it means that we learn how to use historical information better instead of sounding like robots we can apply the pioneer history to their lives. (sounds like something a certain mother of mine might have attempted to do with unruly children)

We're meeting a lot of 'fake' Indians, which make Sister Sundaram sad... her main goal in life is to get a Temple in India... and Indian people who moved to the US don't count because they can't help her get a temple there. But all of the computer scientists and engineers make me feel more at home. (I wonder why...) We've met a few 'real' Indians, one from Bangalore , where she happens to be from. But there was a very cute little girl who came to the square with a giant white stuffed kitty. She was 3 and the kitty was almost larger than she was, but she wouldn't let her parents take care of her kitty. Her parents were so sweet and we're going to be teaching them as soon as they get off their vacation. (in two weeks) I'm excited to talk to them again, it was just the most adorable Indian family I've ever met. (‘Fake’ Indians because they're really from the midwest)

Only two more P-days left and then I'll be in my 8th transfer... oi vey. Where has the time gone? Sister Farmer and Sister Nien made some funny candy sushi, only instead of putting rice crispy, they put coconut... I thought that dad would appreciate that change. it was certainly yummy.

Best regards to everyone.
