The Awkwardness of Being an RM.

Everyone always used to say that being an RM at first is one word, "Awkward."
I always thought I would be different and cool.
I was wrong.
Im extremely awkward.
Well... Maybe not extremely. haha


I feel like it though.

For instance.
THE WORLD IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!
Everyone and their mammas and their cows are married.
(It's true those who were once divorced have found other husbands.) 
I look at names on Facebook and have no idea who they are until I have seen a picture.
I have been gone so long that people have had time to get married and have babies.
The idea of marriage just makes me cringe.

Here is the other part.
I never think of boys ever.
So when one messages me on Facebook I freeze up. haha
I mean in New York I was fine around elders (we worked with them everyday) and 
then I get to Brazil where even seeing your District Leader is a miracle.
And so I became one of those sister missionaries who climbs trees at zone activities 
rather then sit with a group of elders.
So yeah I am a little weird.
At least Im not at BYU yet.

Music. 
All my old music makes me cringe.
Was I really that bad? haha
Syd and I can only listen to Taylor Swift, Church Music, and musicals.
I mean what is up with the music these days?

Right now I am listening to the grating noise of a little bird twirp.
When did the animals start to listen to JBiebs or JZ?
Speaking of JBiebs.
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM??! 
I was floating on clouds and seeing rainbows!
And I come home to terrorists and Ebola.
And a naked Miley Cyrus.

Oh and I randomly start speaking in portuguese
and for the life of me I can't read in english.
I start reading the sounds in portuguese.
I sound like a crazy mess.
Speaking of a mess.
Brazil and the food was not good for me.
I can't fit in ANYTHING. haha
And my body is dead.
So yeah :)

Last of all.
I want to take charge in everything missionary related.
I just want to go up to everyone and make sure they are doing it right.
I want to take charge of the Ward.
Sit the missionaries down and ask what they are doing and help them out.
But... I can't. haha
But at least I can be a member!
