This and that

P.S.   So, I wrote the other letter earlier today before we went to check emails at the library. I had another panic attack because I didn't get all my emails replied to, and I didn't finish writing them all either. So, I paid to get the long ones printed so I could take them home and answer them in letter. It's been a pretty fun P-day. We went shopping at Kroger's for groceries. The mission gives us credit cards with $75 loaded every two weeks. But, mine had a lot more as I was reimbursed for my luggage fee at the airport. I was literally like a kid in the candy shop! I had so much money, and there was sooooooo much food!!! And you know how impulsive I get at the grocery store. . . . Especially when I am hungry!! I was throwing stuff in my cart right and left. My poor companion! Because to answer your questions, my companion is Sis. K, from Utah and she is the healthiest, sportiest girl ever. She cooks every meal and I do the dishes. But, she makes me eat a lot of vegetables! So don't worry mom, she makes me eat healthfully. While she was at the store buying fruits and vegetables, I was buying chocolate cupcakes for the freezer, juice, sponge bob Mac and cheese, fruity pebbles and kraft singles. (Editor's note: her mother did not teach her to eat like this) She was buying penne pasta and vegetables to make spaghetti and spaghetti sauce, fresh meat from the deli . . .  She said I was like her child :D

President Porter is awesome! He texted us this morning and said what a great week we had! My C. (Companion) was sooooo excited because president has never texted before, so she thinks we may recognized tonight for the leadership conference call. But it doesn't matter to me. I'm just here to serve The Lord, not to get recognized for stuff like that.

I can't drive. Only senior companions drive which is fine with me. I hate the humidity, it makes me feel sweaty and swampy, always! Sister Porter is a little crazy with the camera . . She is OBSESSED with pictures!!! (Editors note: her parents are thrilled to catch glimpses of the missionaries on the
mission Facebook page! We hope Sister Porter keeps snapping away!!)

I haven't been bitten by any bugs yet, but every time we go outside my C. gets bitten by something! There are TONS of squirrels here. I LOVE them! They are the cutest things ever!!! I'm not sure what Ohio smells like yet, but not like Arizona. I love my companion, she is the best! It took her a while to get used to my jokes/sarcasm but now that she gets it, we laugh ALL THE. TIME! You just have to
learn I never take anything seriously and that I speak exactly what I'm thinking so I can come off pretty blunt, and that no one should take me too seriously, and then we are golden. . . .
