....

Probably the most exciting thing that happened this week was a zone exchange - everyone switched companions for 2 days - it was pretty crazy! I ended up with another greenie, so for two days we got to practice being not greenies, which was great because in 2 weeks I'm done with 12 week and can graduate greenie-hood! Yay! It was great - we even managed to teach in Spanish without our companions, and we saw lots of miracles.

Okay, I just remembered that there were a lot of other exciting things this week.. so enough about the exchange. On Friday, we exchanged back in time to do weekly planning. We went home, and sister Pickett and I started planning. All of a sudden we heard weird things happening with the other two sisters who live with us, and we heard sister Benz say to sister Whitten, "okay, go lay down!" and then she came in and said "Guys, sister whitten is high from her medication. I'm serious!" and... she was. She had been having kidney problems so got some antibiotics or something, and for some reason she had some crazy reaction and was crazy. She kept saying "I know I'm a missionary, and I know we need to do weekly planning, but I just feel a little weird," and then would start laughing hysterically and telling sister Benz not to call anyone, and was having her take pictures of her eyes because she thought they were dilated and stuff. She wouldn't stay on her bed, and whenever sister Benz tried to talk to us about it she would say "YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT ME!" and come in and get mad at us. She was super coherent, but just crazy. We eventually got things worked out and she finally went to sleep. And then we went to our next lesson... It was with a guy named Steven, who was baptized a couple years ago but never confirmed. The other Elders had been teaching him since he was in their area, so we were going to talk with him and kind of do a trade-off lesson. Evidently he had had a lot of weird ghost/devil experiences before and claimed to be able to talk in tongues. so we were talking about confirmation and the gift of the Holy Ghost, and all of a sudden he started talking in tongues (like... speaking some made up language.). and it was freaky. He said that it was a gift of the spirit and he knew that he already had the gift of the Holy Ghost because he could talk in tongues.. Yay for Texas! Things like that happen pretty often here, evidently.

Also... I'm gonna be 20 this week. That's all.

Love you! Can't wait to see your bright, smiley faces on Sunday! Yay!

Love,
