(All right, all right, I missed posting the past couple of weeks because I have the really good excuse of starting a new job. So sorry this is so delayed!)
We got to talk to the little missionary on Mothers Day which was wonderful. She wasn't able to call until late in the evening as she was at a member's home having dinner (oh the joys of eating). She sounded very good but was struggling just a little bit with her new companion from Nicaragua.
Allison is a "follow the letter of the law" type of gal; if the rule is laid out for her, she will not deviate from it (which is why she is such a great missionary). However, her companion is more of a "some rules are more like suggestions" type of person. Al is learning how to cope with that adjustment. :)
Her new companion is also a bit on the somber side and Allison has been working to get her to crack a smile. In fact, she shared with us a funny little story over the phone how her companion said to her one day, "Hermana Brewster, there are two types of people in this world." Before she could continue, Al quipped, "Those who like Neal Diamond and those who don't?" Needless to say, her comp didn't really get it. But we sure did! We all laughed out loud because it appears she has not lost her sense of humor. Whew!
She sent us a few pics from her last days in the MTC...which seems so long ago now. Also, her release date is scheduled for June 28--which means she's only a little over a year away from coming home. Whoa...
