Another week has come and gone. My goodness, it's true
when they say the days and the weeks are short. Today for p-day, we (the
district) went to the St Louis Zoo!! It was fun even though it was SUPER
hot. The first week I got here, it was so pleasant! But this past
week has been so humid, muggy, and hot! I definitely miss the dry heat of
Utah. With dry heat, you can stand in the shade and cool down, but here
you're hot everywhere. There's no escaping humidity.
I've met some cool people. There's one person we're
teaching who calls me Olive because I remind her of Olive Oil from
Popeye. I wonder if it's just because I'm tall. She likes to make
fun of my clothing and hair. The other day I showed up in a basic dress
and she exclaimed that I actually look cute! She's hysterical.
There's also another lady who's son just got married in the Mesa Temple.
We've taught her once and we're going to teach her again tomorrow. She's
super sweet and I'm really excited for her.
I'm sure I'll think of more things to write once I walk out of
the library, but right now my mind is a blank. There won't be a blog post
from me next week because it's Labor Day and the library will be closed.
But I'll have another long update in two weeks.
