Not much to report on since Wednesday. Easter was pretty good. Not the shebang I apparently missed with you guys, but the mission presidency made us dinner (the legitimate kind--with ham and all) to eat together at the house, so that was nice. We're pretty spoiled sometimes. Thank you for the package, Mum. For some reason, I particularly wanted one (I was 100% lying when I said I didn't need one, obviously), so it was very nice to get all that candy.
We're still kind of just touring around and doing some of the basic stuff for the new sisters so we haven't had too many experiences just yet. But there are already way more people in Nauvoo here than there were last year at this time. I've had a few experiences with guests--enough to feel like I'm going to have to start all over with my visitor center skillz. Well, kinda sorta. Just when you think you've got listening to the Spirit down pat. . . psyche! you realize you're a dang fool and you don't know anything. Although just kidding on the thinking I'm covered on listening to the Spirit. Never thought I was finished learning about that one.
Something I love about this summer so far is that there are a bunch of returning sisters, with extremely dynamic and powerful personalities, so we've all been given different responsibilities, and we've all asked each others opinions on all of it. It's genius. It's like an unofficial democratic form of government. Those who are in charge of the call center strike up a conversation with any random sister(s) about what they should do, and anyone else leaves and enters the conversation at will, and you know I'm all about expressing my (informed and thoughtful) opinion. So it's super awesome and everyone comes off better for it. And it's just because we all care so much that we can't stop talking about missionary work.
So these conversations just happen spontaneously. If you could harness our creative energy and put it into some kind of battery, we could patent it and make billions of dollars.
I love you! We'll see what this next week brings. Oh yes, and I think the day I'm officially coming home is August 20th. So just keep that in mind.
Love, Rachel
