You think I'd be used to it by now...

November 13, 2012
Hello sportsfans!
Well, another week happened.  you think I'd be used to it by now. :)
The days this week seemed to drag on, like each one would never ever end... but then it feels like just an hour ago that I was emailing last week.  And maybe a week or two ago when I packed my bags and left my home.  But it's such a surreal memory, and so intangible that its hard to believe.  I feel like I've been in the WATAC my whole life.  I can't believe how fast November is going by, I can't believe it's almost December (i love december) and then I'll have been gone for a whole year.  I think by the time it starts to make sense, I'll be home.  
We had the Graham (my stake/zone) fireside this week!  I was SO stressed out coming up to it.  I was pretty sick, but I told Sister Weaver I would be able to sing, so I took a lot of medicine,haha.  All during church that day, I was just coughing and blowing my nose, and I was so worried.  BUT for the whole fireside, I was fine :)  
Prayers: Answered.
Our musical number went swimmingly :)
A lot of people I know were there and it was really great seeing them. 
My boy, Elder B gave a testimony, and he did such a great job, it was honestly one of the proudest moments of my life.  The spirit was there so strong, and afterwards he and I talked to this kid we worked with in Fruitland, and he said he got the answer to his prayers during Elder B's testimony, and he's gonna talk to his parents, he wants to be baptized :)  The work is sweet.  ( I mean that in both senses, but originally I meant sweet in the real way, not the slang way.  but both apply) 
Oh and we had Transfer Meeting!  It was really really hard for me to watch Elder K go home.  I'm an orphan now.  Elder W (Remember him? :)  came up to visit the Mission, and so both my trainers were there at the meeting, it was so good to see them again. 
My words are so inadequate, I read over what I write, and think "wow this sounds lame"  I wish I was good at conveying the emotions I feel.  
Anyways, I must be off!  Doors to knock, people to visit,  lunch to eat, doors to knock....
Bye!
