Okay Mom Here is the long email you asked for, you will have to apologize to Dad and Tucker and Logan and Gramma Ryssman because you are the only one I will have time to respond to. If you could forward this to them that would be great.
I wake up every morning at 6:23 and roll right onto my knees, we exercise for 30 minutes, eat, shower, and get ready by 7. lately I have been eating oatmeal with bananas in it. We do personal study, companion study, and training for an hour each and then get straight to work. We meet people throughout the day and I love being on campus street-contacting people. My clothes work pretty well but I really need boots and a rain coat and a regular warm coat. the coat i have now is working for the moment. I really need more socks, like the ones to wear with flats... and regular ones. I loved the polka dot shirt you showed me! The ward is super great here!!! There is so much to do! we go to FHE every monday, tonight they are doing a Meet the Mormons activity and we have been inviting people like crazy!!! This week we taught someone who was reeeaaalllly high. like on drugs high. it was interesting hahaha. We met someone named Hakeem, it was so cool! we were running to the institute building to a lesson after passing out invites to the meet the morms and i saw a guy waking beind me and turned around to introduce us and give him an invite, we ran to the lesson but AFTER when we were tracting we knocked on his door and were able to teach him the gospel! we have a lesson with him tomorrow and i am really excited because sister hancock and i almost committed him to be baptised on his doorstep. he seems really cool. I committed Sam to be baptized Yesterday! November 3 :) I am so excited for him. We taught Ali the Chastity lesson and she said we told her everything she needed to hear which was really great because i had never taught it before and didnt know what i was doing. thank goodness im just being a mouthpiece for the spirit. We are teaching Jason who is a member baptized at 8 but never been to our church since. he is awesome as well. Today we played racketball... okay basically the best sport ever hahaha its like tennis but you can hit the ball as hard as you can at people. I was planning on sending pictures but we had to run and use the computers on campus so the other sisters in our area could use the institute computers. So there are elders in our ward. aparently they are trying to put sisters and elders in every ward. crazy how the work is progressing! I really wish I had gotten your package!!! Ill tell you about it next week i suppose. I have been thinking about Mema a lot lately too. she is here with me. I gave a talk inchurch Yesterday that was my first time on the mission and it went really well. told the story about lexie falling off the cliff and dad saving her, related it to missionary work... everyone cried lol. I love you! sorry i dont have time to write anything else. Write again soon!
All my love,
Sister Hillner
