Well
this week has been good. I have had some good things happen. But for
some reason, the last couple of days have been really rough. I have felt
like I was settled into Florida. But then again, I felt like I wasn't
really at home. It has been really frustrating. Then I heard from
Morgan. It has been a couple of months since I have heard from her.
Anyway. Then I had updates on friends and it all kind of made me pretty
home sick. Also. Hearing about my siblings that I love so much. It's
hard to know that I am missing all of these sweet things in their lives.
First.
Micah. I wish I could snow board. People here always ask me if I
snowboard or ski. I say snowboard. I mean, I do, kind of. But I am
definitely not even close to as talented as you. I think it's so sweet
that you saved up to buy a board and all of the other stuff! I am
actually really jealous. You will have to teach me when I get home.
Cause when I get home, there will be snow! But have fun! And be safe!
Second.
People here love soccer. Obviously. And I like to brag about Matthew
and Micah about how they are great players. I have especially been
talking a lot about how Matthew is a University Athlete and that he is
going to play in the Nationals Tournament. I seriously think that is the
coolest thing ever. So proud.
Third.
Rachel. Still sad that I missed all of your volleyball. But hearing
about all of the boys that want you! Haha! And don't worry, there are
still boys in Africa that like you! Everyone thinks you are so pretty!
They also think you are older than me :).

Alright.
Well. Here are some of the highlights of the week. I think I wrote
about him last week. But I will again. I have a best friend. He is four
years old. Half Indian. His name is Lincoln. He is so cute! And
hilarious! He likes to entertain us in the mornings. And during lunch.
He and his brother Aiden are the coolest. Anyway. Last week, during
weekly planning, he wanted to hang out with us, so he sat and colored on
our whiteboard while we did our weekly planning. He also likes to give
me movie updates about all of the super hero movies. And "How To Train
Your Dragon 2". Best friend. Too bad they are moving in a month.
Here
is a good news minute. So I decided I should get one of my suits
cleaned. Cause one of them was getting pretty bad. Anyway. I got it
cleaned for R60! Which is a little less than $6. And it was actually
done really nice! Super convenient to have cheap dry cleaning.
I
also got my hair cut, it looks okay. The lady wasn't very pleasant. But
oh well. She cut the sides SUPER short. But what can ya do? I mean, I
like it, but there were some changes that I would have had her make. But
she was in like such a rush! But you know. I am pretty particular about
my hair. When people ask, I always tell them that I was the kid that
cried when I got a "bad" hair cut when I was a kid. Wow. What's wrong
with me? Haha!
We
also had a baptism. Ambassador. Super sweet kid. I really like him. We
are now working on his little brother. He should be baptized either on
the 30th of November or the 14th of December. But Ambassador was
baptized by his friend Innocent. Who is also a really sweet kid. I
really like him as well.

It
has been raining a lot here recently. The weather is freaking bipolar.
It was really nice weather this morning. I was sitting outside with my
bffs Lincoln and Aiden while they were showing me all their toys. And
now it is pouring rain. It's kind of depressing. At least it's p-day.
Cause missionary work in the rain is possibly the worst thing ever. The
days are long when it rains.
It's
getting closer to the holidays. I am really going to miss being around.
I am just really trying as hard as I can to not think about what is
going on at home. And focus on the fun things that will happen for me
here. Like Skyping home on Christmas! That is super exciting! We are
also singing in the ward choir now. It is directed by the Lauren and
Chase of South Africa (sad thing, they are going to Cape Town for the
whole month of December). Anyway. We are singing Christmas songs. It's
fun. But I am carrying the Tenor section. Scary. I think I forgot how to
sing as well. Yikes. But it will go well! I also have some Mormon
Messages. I am going to start sharing the ones about Thanksgiving.
Cause, duh, American Thanksgiving is coming!
Well.
This is the last week of transfers. I am working on writing new letters
to everyone to send home with Wilkinson. Can't believe he is going
home. Never thought it would come. Anyway. I am also gonna try and find
an ornament for this year to send home with him! Can't miss out on that
tradition! Anyway. I have a week to figure it all out!
Oh!
Can't forget the cooking! This week, I have been making some delicious
Indian curries. They weren't that great. But I am getting better. I also
can't expect too much, since I haven't made curry ever. In my whole
life. But they were great tasting, I just need to get the consistencies
right. they both just ended up a little bit dry. Hmm..wonder what I will
try to make this week?!
Well.
I love and miss everyone so much. I hope this week will go by a bit
better. Well. Not that the past week was bad. Just the rough patch at
the end. I would be okay to miss that this coming week. Well I don't
want to stop writing. Because I love writing home. It makes me feel
close. As you have said many times before. I am feeling that now.
I love you both so much!
Love,
Turner
