Cheese fills a place in my heart that no man will fill

(Sister Slade)

Todays title comes from a 15 year old girl that we are teaching. Her family had us over for dinner and she put a lot of cheese in her potato soup and when we questioned her about her life choices, that is what she said.
Somehow this week was simultaneously one of the most uneventful yet eventful weeks of my mission. Don't ask me how that makes sense.
On Tuesday, Sister Faleafa woke up with a really bad migraine that lasted all week. So most of the week was spent in the apartment. I sewed 15 dresses and started making a quilt out of all of the scrap material to give to President and Sister Strong for Christmas.
Now for the eventful part of the week. On Wednesday we had to drive to Bentonville because our car was starting to freak out and they were going to switch the cars out. So they gave us a brand new 2019 toyota Rav4 that had 26 miles on it. They had us pick it up from the dealership. BUT they had us pick up two of these cars and drive them back to the mission office and gave us permission to be alone to do so. So, I was completely alone for like 5 minutes. It was the weirdest feeling.
On Thursday Sister Faleafa's migraine got so bad that we had to go to the hospital so they could drug her. And then the rest of the week she was kind of loopy and not very aware because of the medication.
Last but not least, on Sunday we had a baptism. Rick was able to be baptized!!! His brother Tommy who was baptized 4 weeks ago baptized him and Sister Faleafa and I were the witnesses. It was a really cool experience.
God is good!
