Wow thank you for all the emails this week! There were so many and I loved hearing from all of you finally! Its about time Kam and Hallie emailed me! Haha just kidding. I understand that you are all super busy so its okay if you miss a week. I had a good week. Me and Sister Nielsen both stayed in our area! Im really happy about that. Most people will get a new companion after one transfer so I was happy I didnt. Sounds like you all had a good week! Wow Mike and Catherine go all out for their parties! How do they have enough money for that? Thats crazy! But sounds like a lot of fun! Im glad you got to go! Guess you have a lot more pomegranates than you thought you would! Some jam would be nice! We eat a lot of jam! We found a few more people this week who are progressing really well! But we wont have a baptism for a while. Our next scheduled baptism is for Nov. 23. And the boy getting baptized, Kynan, is so great! He is already talking about serving a mission! Hes 16 and is awesome! We have a few other people who are progressing really well but I dont have enough time to talk about all of them! But everything is going great! The language is better. Im understanding a lot more. I still struggle talking but at least I can understand most of what is said in the lesson now! Thats crazy that we have so many missionaries in our ward right now! Its so great! I cant believe Taylor Berry couldnt email for a month! Wow that would be hard. Im glad I can talk to you all every week. On Saturday will be the day Neil L. Anderson will be here. Im so excited! Its gonna be great! For all saints day we will be in the graveyard all day because pretty much everyone will be there! Everyone spends the whole day in the graveyard around the graves of the people they know. So we will go and teach everyone there! I dont think there is anything else I need right now. So if I need anything it wont be for a while so just next time you send a package I will tell you. So my first few weeks here I didnt really use the bug spray and I never got bug bites so I was fine. But this last week they told us there have been a lot of dengue cases lately so they gave us all new bug spray and told us to use it everyday. We have to report at night if we wear it. So I started wearing it and I have gotten so many bug bites! I have a ton right now! Clearly Im better off when I dont use the bug spray. And I have about 15 spider bites. No joke. Its crazy. I havent seen any spiders but every morning I wake up with more. Its crazy! But Im good. Still healthy. Havent gotten dengue yet. Other than that we had a great week! I love hearing from you all and sorry this email is short but I want to try and send pictures! So I love you and cant wait to hear from you again next week! Have a great week! I love you and miss you all so much! Also I cant believe I have been gone for three months now! Its gone by so fast! But I love you! Talk to you next week!
Sister Remund
*** Right after the email came in, we hopped on the computer and got to exchange emails in conversation-mode with Sister Remund. There was a lot of good stuff exchanged, so we wanted to include some of the chat!
Girls- Hi kenna this is kam and hallie!
Kenna- Seestois!!!
Girls- mom wants to know if you're using your bug spray that you took?
Kenna- Yeah I was but then they gave us a new one so Im using it first.
Girls- well it doesn't sound like its working since you have so many spider bites! haha. mom said she will try to send jam but she isn't sure if she can send liquids yet. if you want to send pictures we don't have to chat, but perfect timing cause mom and hallie just walked in!
Kenna- Thats great! Im emailing Ash right now so I will send pictures in a minute.
Girls- okay! seestoi I love you! -teemer
Kenna- I love you too Teemer! And the computer Im on is dumb and wont let me send pictures. Sorry.
Mom- this is mom...I just got the package of stuff u sent back from the MTC (like dresses, shampoo, etc) i decided I will wear your CTR ring while you're gone...it reminds me of u:)) Makes me feel close to u:))
Kenna- Haha thats funny. now you have my ctr ring and my watch.
Mom- SERIOUS??!! What in the world???I've been so excited. Dang it. Can u get on another computer??
Kenna- Well I can but it takes a long time.
Mom- YEP...you're watch, ring, and the necklace that I showed u (says McKenna Philippines with a heart on it), and a bracelet I got that has charms on it with all my kids names. Also a charm that has called to serve, sister, philippines on it:) So pretty much I'm all Kenna-up!!
Kenna- Haha thats great! So I guess since I cant send pictures we can just chat!
Mom- Well, maybe try to just send at least one or two? I thought u could send, but it takes a long time? do u not have time?
Kenna- I have like ten minutes but the computer wont recognize it when I plug in. Thats why I cant send them.
Mom- sad. do u know how other people send them? i mean, is there another way? has your mission pres told u that u can't listen to christmas music? do u guys listen to hymns? do u guys walk most everywhere?
Kenna- The other computers work its just mine that doesnt. But we can only listen to hymns so we can listen to christmas hymns! We walk a lot but not as much as others. One of the pictures I will send probably next week will be of some shoes I bought here. Its really funny. They have big holes on the bottom. But I got some new ones now so Im good. I dont need shoes in my package. I know that what you were thinking. And also I have a picture of one of my bakery shirts. My blue one. Its now white and blue. The lady that does our laundry got bleach all over it. She didnt even tell me! I pulled it out and was like, what the heck? But we dont go to her anymore because a ward member that lives next to her was mad we gave her our laundry and not her. So we dont give it to either of them anymore. I still dont know what we are going to do with it yet. But yeah, its great.
Mom- oh my...thats crazy!! So u dont have anyone to do your laundry yet? WOW! you crack me up about telling me you dont need shoes...haha. You know me well! I wasn't sure on music, because President Lopez told us parents in a message that we couldn't send music. Also, no presents for the kids there. Good on walking some at least...since u said u eat all the time. haha!! Have u felt out of shape? Sounds like a fun day at the graveyard:)))
Kenna- yeah. But its okay. We hear a lot of music while we are walking around! I dont get tired walking around but I think Im getting fat. Haha just kidding not really. But maybe my face a little bit.
Mom- You're so cute and positive...that's my MuTenna!!
Kenna- Haha. But I havent been eating as much lately so yeah. Im getting sick of eating pb&j and eggs and hotdogs. I want real food!
Mom- You better not be coming home fat girfriend!! Maybe you'll get tired of all the snacking soon:) Do some push ups and sit ups:) I BET!!! I'll make all your favorites in 15 months:)) DO u want any recipes so u can cook??
Kenna- We dont have time to cook. We usually dont even eat dinner. Just a snack. Because we stay out until 8 because president wants us home by 8 or 8:30 so depending on the day we stay out until then. Sometime though we stay out until 9 or 9:30. Then we come home and plan and then get ready for bed. Somehow we always run out of time.
Mom- Wow...hard workers:) Ok, well I guess I wont send any recipes then. I'm surprised that u never really eat with members. Maybe they worry about your health, so they dont want u to? Is your hair color changing more?
Kenna- We just dont really have any members in our area. We eat once a week with the Bactongs and Mojicos but they are in the other sisters area. We have like two active families in my area. And my hair is changing! Its grown out a lot. The top is red and the bottom is dark. Its funny. But you cant really tell unless you look closely.
Mom- I love it! Have u ever tried to straighten it there? maybe try to put the bug stuff on before u go to bed, and see if that helps:) Freaky
Kenna- No. Im scared to use my straightener because my converter says not to use straighteners on it. So I dont want to break it.
Mom- oh that's weird. what all do u use the converter for?
Kenna- So funny story though. Tell Kam. Last night we were teaching a lesson to like 10 kids and after we were done they were like, we want to sing! So we asked what song. They were like "do you know just give me a reason?" Because its really popular here. But I was just like Yeah!!! So we sang the whole song! And they didnt remember all the words but I still remembered all of them! Which is weird because I dont remember the words to any song anymore because I obviously dont listen to them but I remembered all the words and led a little jam session with all the little kids! It was so great! I dont really use the converter because I dont have anything really to plug in. What time is it there right now?
Mom- what about a blow dryer? If u don't use it for stuff, u might as well try to use it with straightner...just turn heat down some. it is about 9;45 pm. I'm laughing because I dont even know that song. Oh...Kam said I do know it..oh ya, she is singing it:)) How funny!!! I bet the kids loved it:)))
Kenna- I dont use my blow dryer. I just scrunch it and let it dry on its own. I was wondering because Ryanne said she was getting on at like 10:20 so I felt bad because I figured it was about that time. It was so great! It was the funniest thing ever!
Mom- Hahahahah...what in the world is on your head?? I love it!!!
Kenna- My great harvest shirt that started blue but now has a big white spot in the middle. I had a little bit of a headache so I was holding that on my head to help. And it did so I dont even care that I looked weird. But I have to go. I love you! Thanks for talking to me for so long! I love it!
Mom- that's awesome!! Whatever it takes:) So funny. Thats my girl!!!! Me tooo!!!!! LOVE YOU!!! Have a great week!!
