It was so fun to see/hear almost everyone on Saturday! Chantelle, I'm so excited for you! Although, I am a little sad because that means I won't see you for another 2 years (starting now).
This week has been an alright week. There was hardly a time of day when I didn't feel sweaty, sticky, and wet. I now understand what dad meant when he said he felt sticky 24/7 on his mission. The reason for all this suffering :) is because my school's electricity BROKE!!!! First the power was gone, and then the generator broke, so for most of the days we were in the dark with no air conditioning. It literally felt like a sauna in the classrooms!! That was not particularly fun. I'm starting to think Utah's weather looks pretty good...WAIT! did I just say that!? No, I actually do quite enjoy the weather here. Just not when your in a room with no circulation which has previously been occupied by sweaty, smelly 9th grade boys. ah, good times!
It's also been a pretty lousy week as far as my stomach goes. I didn't feel good for most of the days. We're going to go get some blood tests done this Tuesday, and then I'll go to Hong Kong with mom and dad in a couple of weeks. We're hoping/praying that we'll be able to figure something out! It's no fun feeling like I need to pop the top button of my pants everyday after I eat because I'm so bloated!
Anyway, sorry, I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining. I've recently started a new project. There's a member doctor here who will be doing a service project from Feb. 14-23 where he will be giving free surgeries for people with cleft lips/palates, and other facial deformities. I've taken on the responsibility to get translators who can translate English to Khmer for all of those days. I'm organizing working shifts for volunteers and such. I sent out a lot of emails to members who we know can speak good English. Some of the Senior Couples are talking to people they know. I've had pretty good success so far. It's nothing huge, but I'm glad I can help in a useful cause!
On Saturday I earned money for the first time in a long time! I substituted a 3-4 year old ballet class at the elementary in the morning. There were only 3 girls so it wasn't too difficult. I had a fun time teaching little kids again! I haven't done it for so long. After that I had a private dance class with my teacher to work on my audition video for BYU. Things are looking good so that's exciting!
Other than that it's been a pretty quiet week. Really, I didn't have hardly any homework this entire week. It was nice to have a somewhat relaxing week before things start to get really crazy with mock exams in a couple of weeks. I've got some major studying to do!
I love you all and hope you have an excellent week!
Love truly,
Kenzie
