Tomorrow is Zone Conference. We will be going up to Cape Girardeau sometime in the morning because we aren't aloud to have zone pday anymore for some reason. Otherwise we would go up today, hang out with other missionaries 'tll 6:00, go work and then stay the night at the zone leaders' apartment. But we can't do that now. So the Poplar Bluff Elders are gonna come to Sikeston today and stay at our apartment and we will go up tomorrow.
I don't know what you should cook for the missionaries there, but I know that you shouldn't make lasagna! That is what everyone makes! I don't know if it is the same back home, but that's how it is out here.
It's getting warmer out here, and with the warmth comes bugs. Mosquitoes and mosquito hawks, flies and gnats, bees and wasps . . . and I don't really like bees and wasps. When they get into the house or something I go outside.
So we are on this doorstep talking to this guy and I feel something on my neck. Naturally, I reach up to brush it off. Well this thing on my neck didn't like that so it stung me . . . so I swatted it. It didn't get hurt, but it fell down my collar and stung me in the neck again. I'm kinda freaking out trying to swat the thing, and it falls down my shirt some more, but it doesn't sting again. I explain what just happened to Gordon and this guy, and he was like, "Untuck your shirt!" I'm thinking, "Duh! Why didn't I think of that?" So I untucked my shirt and shook it out a little bit and this wasp fell out and flew away.
So now I have officially been stung! But Gordon pointed out that it didn't sting me anywhere where I had my garments on and it was still alive down there. So that was kinda cool.
Well I think that is all I have this week. You even got a story out of it too! I'll talk to you next week!
Love you all!
