Lisa, Josie and Sister Hite

hello, hello!!
so I'm forewarning you, this week was very vanilla. not a ton of crazy things happened. so the email might be a bit slow. I'll try to dress it up a bit.
so I will start with a spiritual/funny story. we started teaching this new family, that is sooo amazing. we teach a wife, and her three kids. one little boy is nine, and the rest are little. they are AMAZING. I adore her. she lives in a sketchy area, and she is always soooo terrified of us getting hurt when we walk to and from her house. she texts us a thousand times and we have to call her every night when we get home. she's a doll. she made us these little scone things the other day that were so tasty. anyway. so we wanted to put her and her oldest son on date for baptism. they are super solid. so we get to the point in the lesson, and we're just feeling it. if you have been a missionary, you know what I'm talking about. it feels like you're on fire. so I look at hite, and she goes for it. the second she starts to say something about baptism, their little baby girl pees. they don't wear diapers very often here, just little shorts. so the shorts caught absolutely none of the pee. and she happened to be standing up right in front of me. in seconds the floor is completely soaked, and she starts playing patty cakes and splattering her pee all over the place. at this point, no one had noticed yet, and I was trying so hard to not draw any attention to her so hite could ask them to be baptized without any interruption. well, very typical, they notice, and there's big giggles from her brothers and her mom starts scrambling around trying to clean it up and hite and I were trying so hard not to laugh. thankfully, they were ready. and they accepted our invitation to be baptized, regardless of the interruption. :) it was a big moment. I am SO excited for their baptism. can't even wait. 
on a lighter note, we are teaching this indian boy that's super rad. he teaches me tricks on the rubics rubix cube after our lessons. he can do the whole thing in 49 seconds!!!! a whole thing! it's insane. I've completed it once. and then my brain can only think in colors after that. it's a mess for sure. 
four times people have asked sister hite and I if we are really sisters. they seriously think we are. what!! hahaha. we always laugh and say yeah, but she got all the asian and I got all the orang putih. very funny. I don't know why people think we look alike. it's weird. 
oh oh! here is a good story. so angel, you guys know angel. my favorite girl on earth. she looooooves to play around. so the other day, josh groban was on in the background, and she was dancing around and told me to carry her. so I pick her up and we're spinning around, when angel yells, in her adorable little chinese accent, "YOU RAISE ME UP!!! SO I CAN STAND ON MOUNTAINS!!!!" hahaha. she was singing the josh groban song. josie and hite were like doubled over they were laughing so hard, and I almost dropped her. haha. it was funny. I want to bring her home with me. 
this morning we went to josie's house and she taught me some reflexology. she gave me tons of papers with like the pressure points of the body on them and all that. it's sweet!!! she said she'd teach me so I knew how to do it good. I'm amped. 
I never want to have to eat KFC again in my life. it's like a delicacy here, so every once in a while people will get really amped and they'll feed us KFC. it's like a special treat. usually it's tolerable, I don't particularly like it at all but I can handle it. but this week, we had to eat it THREE times. ick!!! I felt my arteries harden. very nasty. I'm gonna have to come home and take medicine to clean all my arteries out from all the cholesterol and MSG I have to eat every day. haha. 
speaking of, what does MSG do to you again? do you know? I forgot. but everything has MSG here. am I going to die when I get home?
wow yeah, I already ran out of stuff to talk about. sorry, this week is a boring one. 
maybe next week I'll have something juicy. 
I love you all!!
