Hey everyone so this week on the last Monday we went to go teach a Family Home evening and it was amazing! Seriously we were doing Personal Progress and Honestly I cant really explain why but it was amazing to sit and just listen Personal Progress is such an amazing program. Oh and we decided to just go and visit any member we wanted this past week so we went to go visit a member that the elders teach ( we told them what we were doing and they were ok with it.... Kinda I will explain in a bit) so these members are a 19 year old boy and his 16 year old cousin and our appointment was a little bit later and where we were going isn't necessarily the best part of town but anyway we were walking to our appointment and then we we hear a horn honk and some one call out to us... we are both very well trained to just keep walking so we walked and then I slightly looked back and I swore it was the elders and then I thought nothing of it but needless to say it wasn't the elders and now we aren't allowed to go back anymore.... and then on Saturday we had an activity that was super fun.. always all the dances and the missionaries that aren't allowed to dance... it was so sad. other then that I am out of time but I love you all and hope your week is amazing!</div>

So this week we taught the most amazing lesson ever. So background the only way I have been able to learn Spanish is through the Holy Ghost. I wouldn't have been able to learn it without the spirit. If you don't believe me ask my high school Spanish teacher. So anyway we went to go visit an investigator and we decided last minute to have a member go with us. he lives a ways away and doesn't have a car so we walked to the investigators house with this member and the investigator was asking us questions about music and really just normal questions that I have heard before and answered before. But the weird part was I couldn't for the life of me understand what he was saying I mean I understood but I couldn't think of what to say( which for those of you who know me you know I never have a lack of things to say) and neither could my companion so after struggling for about 10 minutes this member jumps in and starts teaching teaching. like he brings up all of our lessons and bears his testimony and tells this guy about baptism and the word of wisdom and the law of chastity. I was so impressed that after he was done I still had nothing to say... I think I talked less in that lesson then my very first lesson. But I know there was a reason for it. This member is 19 and is debating going on a mission and now we know that we have to help him want to serve.....</span></div>

I am going to miss her so much...... otherthen that I took a ton of pictures last night! Love Ya!</span></div>

They were all awesome and 3 new apostles were called and It was an amazing experience to see that. Other then that we watched in a members house and in between the sessions we were going to go to a baptism and so we asked the member to take us and right before we left she got a call from her ex boyfriend saying that he wanted some stuff he left at her house and so we decided it would be best to do that first and we went and Honestly I don't trust the guy at all and so we wouldn't leave her side the whole time. Luckily nothing happened but to see someone you see as very strong that scared of someone it makes you wonder How someone can distill that much fear in someone else.... and really not care...</div>

So other then that we taught a member how to make cookies this week... So he accidently spilled some flour on his shirt and he was upset because he really likes that shirt. so I told him that it was ok because cookies need happiness to be good and that was the happiness.... needless to say he spread his happiness with all the kids in the house and us.... we left covered in flour.... don't ever do that..... other then that my whole week was centered on conference. making sure that everyone could get to it off their internet and stuff</div>

So I am in the same area with the same companion doing the same thing as normal. We have meetings we meet new people, we talk with members, we work with less actives. I guess that is what we do we work. we work until we don't have energy and then we work for another 3 hours..... in All honesty when you put in those words a mission sounds so dreary and depressing but in all actuality this week was one for the books. I have laughed and cried and smiled and frowned. I have been overly happy and skipping and angry and just not talking. My weeks are an emotional rollercoaster and I know it is almost done when I have felt all the emotions</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460607914353_12001" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;">
This week some things came up with a recent convert so his mom is working now which means she is never home so we cant ever visit him. so We had to pass him off to the elders which was super hard because honestly I love that family. And I would do almost anything(with in rules) for them. So that was hard. But then they came to church which was awesome!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460607914353_11993" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;">
Then while we were at church awe got a text saying that someone we met was waiting for a ride. so we asked a member to go pick him up which was awesome. Then we had Womens conference. Which I watched in Spanish and Honestly I am starting to like listening to things in Spanish better. I understand more sometimes.... Like people will try and tell me things and I don't get it and then someone says it in Spanish and I get it... I understand a lot more then I can speak. But part of me is really going to miss Learning and speaking in Spanish. Anyway life is the same in a lot of ways but I love it. I love meeting new people I love getting know the different cultures that are around here. It is an amazing experience to be out here... I only have 6 months and I hope I can make the best of it. Anyway I love you all so much.</div>

Oh funny story!!! So the other night my companion had washed her sheets and so she was going to put them back on her bed and all of a sudden during my prayer she shrieked and so I ended my prayer quickly and I asked what was wrong and she said there was a spider and so we spent an hour trying to refind this spider that grew everytime she explained it to me..... and then we have 3 beds and she got onto the extra bed and was trying to be a ninja and she almost fell... I died laughing... so we still have this spiderin our house because we never fond it. and then last night I go to take a shower and something black falls in the shower right after I turn on the water so I try to get out but the door was locked so for a good 30 seconds I just screamed and fittled with the door.... we still have the spider in out house and we have a dead cricket in the bathroom... any way that's all I got love you all!!!!!!!</div>

Hello family.... This was the week of transfers. I honestly had my<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" />bags packed and was ready to leave this area. Then we got the<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" />call and I am staying. So after that new know if I was happy<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" />that I am staying or sad that I just gave out 50 notes saying<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" />goodbye........ But it's all good. So yeah that happened and we had<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" />Spanish form which was awesome. Then yesterday was my companions<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" />birthday so I convinced the elders to make her cupcakes and bring them<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" />to stake conference. And today we went to DC with A member. We had fun,<br />he is super funny and really helpful!<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" />But for the coolest thing on Saturday in my first area my old<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" />investigator walked into a members house and said he had a surprise<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" />for her. He said you are the first to know about this. And he said he<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" />was going to get baptized that night and then he called the<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" />missionaries there and they called me and I was so beyond excited. I<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" />taught him last November and in all honesty he was such a hard<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" />investigator to teach. It was amazing</div>

I have been in this ward since April and in all honesty I am a little scared to leave Not really scared but I have really learned to love it here. I am getting my transfer calls tonight or tomorrow morning and it is a little frightening. I am almost 2/3 done with my mission and to be quite honest I am terrified to go home. don't get me wrong I love all of you but life is scary outside of my little mission bubble. But anyway not a whole lot happened this week other then we taught this amazing lesson with these 4 kids that the whole time I have been in this area I have sworn that those kids hate me. They are raised by a single mom and I frankly don't like the way they treat her and I have told them as much.... It is not nice to swear at your mom in English when you know fully well she doesn't understand what you are saying. But anyway this less active family I seriously love them with all my hears and I am really sad to be leaving the area because they are amazing. And so on Friday we went to go teach them and all the kids came and listened miracle and then they all came to church... EVen bigger miracle! anyway then the one kid jonathan asked where I lived at church and I told him Indiana and then after church we went to go eat dinner with them and he goes up to his mom and said in june they had to go on a trip she asked where and he said Indiana to visit me after my mission. I love all of them!!!!</span></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380429216621009338.post-33010715364757392472015-09-09T21:44:00.000-07:002015-09-09T21:44:05.668-07:00Purple Pony<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">September 7, 2015</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Hello wonderful friends and family!</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Let me tell you a little bit about my week. First off it wasn't all </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">that different from every other week. We went </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">out and did a lot of finding. After, we had a district meeting all </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">about fear. After that meeting, Hermana Christensen and I thought it </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">would be a good idea to go out and knock doors. We are both </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">of it sometimes. So we prayed about a </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">house and put it in the GPS. When we get to the house, we just sat and looked at it. I</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> just kinda wanted to cry because it is huge.... Lol it was </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">pretty fun. We did knock, but no one was home. We will have to try </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">again. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Oh other then that the elders asked if we had any chocolate </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">chips one day. We replied that we didn't and then we asked if there </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">was anything else we could do for them. They jokingly told us to </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">take away agency, then they asked if we needed anything. I said </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I wanted a pony, they texted back and said a purple one or red one. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I said purple!! Later that night there is a knock at the door, the E</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">lders had a My Little Pony coloring kit..... I got a purple pony! </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I was beyond happy ... don't worry I took pictures of it.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Other then that we ate dinner with our Mission President and a member </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">this week. It was so good, Mexican tacos made from all sorts of stuff. I </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">love tacos. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Oh and funniest thing happened Saturday. We went to help a member wash </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">his car. The car wash was broken. So we </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">waited for the owner to come and fix it. A Indian guy came </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">to fix it and I went to go help clean the car. My companion </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">started talking to this guy and I thought that they were just talking. T</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">hen I heard him ask if my ompanion could go out and drink. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I was like time to go step in. So this guy was like 40 years old ,</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">to say the least. He was trying so hard, it was hard not to </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">augh at the guy. Lol so funny. Oh we also ate Mexican tamales this </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">week. I love Mexican food.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Other then that transfers aren't this week but next week. I don't want </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">to leave this area !!!!!</span><br />

OOOOOOOKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441854813369_9128" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
So the title was kinda a joke. Not a whole lot has changed, other then I am pretty sure at the end of this transfer I am going to be leaving this area. I am kinda scared to do so. I have been here since April, so in all honesty it has been a long time. Plus on top of it all I really struggled to connect with the people in this ward. I am really learning to love them and enjoy this area. It is sad that I will most likely be leaving. Really sad and also extremely hard. I started a list of all the people I need to write cards to. I have gone through my 4 box of cards on my mission and every box has 50 cards.... Guys I have gotten really good at writing in Spanish.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441854813369_9069" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
But yes so this week was really fun in so many ways. I love being with Hermana Christensen and I am really sad that we can't serve together for the rest of our missions. Because honestly she is amazing. She is an amazing teacher and has been a great example to me!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441854813369_9178" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This week I went on exchanges, we went out finding and knocking doors. I saw this little girl with a cute dog. The dog was running around being crazy, so I asked the little girl if she needed any help. She did, so we calmed the dog down and walked her home. Her mom was there and she was amazing. She so prepared, I can't wait until we get to teach her again. I have really found that it is the little things that are miraculous out here.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441854813369_9178" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Other then that we had an activity for our ward this past Saturday and the missionaries prepared it all. It was a lot of work, from the lesson, the games, invitations, posters and food. It was so hard, but so gratifying to see everyone having so much fun. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441854813369_9178" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The next day was Sunday. We go into ward council, the Bishop asks if we have everything prepared for primary today and all of us are like what?!? We threw together a quick primary lesson. I was in charge of the music, which sounds easy, except none of the kids know the songs in English and I don't know them in Spanish.... awkward.... I really love my mission and I am kinda sad that I only have about 7 months left. It is going to be hard to say Goodbye to this place. I love it here so much!</div>

Based on the title, I think you all can tell it was a crazy week!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441854813369_3107" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
To start, last week after I wrote, we went out to a lake and walked around it. We have a missionary out here from Mexico and she has never seen a frog. So we saw one and she wanted to hold it. I am sure we looked really funny in skirts trying to catch a frog. We eventually caught one and she was so excited to hold it. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441854813369_3107" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Any way then Tuesday rolls around and we are doing studies, we get a call and it was a missionary from the office. She asked to speak with me. She explained that a member had called and was doing a grave dedication that day. She wanted to know if a group of missionaries could sing at it. I was put in charge and even though we had a meeting that morning I got a musical number set up. Eight elders, my companion and I sang, "How Great Thou Art. It was an amazing experience. There was only one member at the grave dedication. It just felt good to be able to serve like that. Yes, it was sad, but at the very end it was a little funny. The non-member mother, of the person who died. hugged all the elders and us. Each elders reaction was priceless....</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441854813369_3071" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
That night, my companion didn't feel well. We went to the ER and they couldn't find out what was wrong. So this week has been in and out of different doctors. I told my companion that she should go see Doctor House. We have been in 4 different buildings and no one knows whats going on! It is insane.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441854813369_3154" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Yesterday we went to a baptism in Bella Vista. It was just amazing. Today we went to D.C. and I got to see a returned missionary name Hermana Quinones, She is the best. So let me explain. I was trained by Hermana Debry, so she is my Mission Mom. She was trained by Hermana Quinones, so she is my Mission Grandma. Well everyone that Hermana Quinones trained and everyone they trained met up in DC today and it was just fun.... Sorry this wasn't the most in depth email.</div>

August 17, 2015<br />
<br />
This title is in place thanks to <b>TERRY THE GREAT</b>.... I was emailing him today and I couldn't really think of anything to write about because we really just went finding this week. I expressed my want of change to Terry and this was his reply:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<em>Change is the spice of life <span class="il">Karlie</span>! It is nice to get a new companion, but it is more of an adventure to get a new area. A few more weeks and you will get moved, I am sure. Work hard Kid! and remember to smell lots of roses too!</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
So there are many aspects of this email that I love. Lets start at the beginning. Change is the spice of life. I love this because being in a Spanish speaking mission I receive a lot of food that has different spices then I am used to eating. But honestly I have learned to love the taste of lime and pepper as much as I love lasagna ( for those of you who don't know me very well I love lasagna.... Especially my mom's it is amazing) But I made a salad this week to eat and it went like this: one tomato, hand full of lettuce, one avocado, some apple some eggs, cheese, ham, lime juice and seasoning salt. I Have just fallen in love with the food from Mexico, El Salvador, Bolivia and Peru. When we go out to eat, we get Peruvian chicken. So that is why I like the spice comment.<br />
But what is the spice of life? According to<b><i> TERRY THE GREAT, </i></b>it is change. On my mission I have changed a ton. How I speak is different how I dress is different. My friendships have changed. not saying that all my old friendships are gone but they have all changed. And all of these changes have made the way I think about life different. Before I was used to my life, which was a really good meal. I have now found other things in life that I love. Before my mission I would have laughed at you if you told me that I would want to go into the ghetto because I have friends there, but now it is true. I want to go in to places that before my mission would have scared me. I have learned the difficulty that a single mom has raising 4 kids. I have seen how drinking can tear a family apart. I have seen how words really do hurt people. But along with all those hard and sad things I have seen a mother cry at her sons baptism. I have seen how a simple game of soccer can fix most problems. How kids can go from angry to happy by kind words. How stumbling over my Spanish and having them correct me helps them feel better. How a simple act of service really changes everyone's perspective. Those are the roses. The roses that smell the sweetest in life are the things that make you laugh. The things you look at and smile. I have seen a man and his pregnant wife look at each other and in uncertain circumstances trust, that together with The Lord, that they can make it. I have seen faith grow and most of all I have seen myself change. I cant explain it right now but I am changing and at time I don't like it because change hurts, on the other hand I love that I am becoming who the Lord wants me to be .</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
I love you all and I hope that the cheesy sentimental stuff is ok for this week.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Food story this week. So many Hispanics think that Americans are used to 5 course meals. We went to this members house and she gave us a huge bowl of soup. Knowing that more was coming, I ate quickly so I didn't have a lot of time to digest. Then Directly following that I waited for the next course and Hermana Christensen looks at me in distress and says... Are they giving us more?... I just laughed then ate a steak, ribs,rice, beets and onion salad. Then I drank an Inca Kola and called it a night. I was really full. By the way everyone needs to try Inca Kola. It is the best</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Any way love you lots!</div>

Hey so this week was pretty awesome, as you can tell from my title. This week was transfers, as much as I love Hermana Evans, It was time for a change. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1440381288001_341761" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
On Monday we spent out last pday together just Chillin. Nothing super extravagant, just stayed in the house. It was super nice. After that we had a "Finding Fest" as a zone. We partnered off, I was with a cute girl from Africa who doesn't know any Spanish. We went to my area and I just talked a lot... Which I know most of you are thinking well you always talked a lot, but not like this. It is a lot harder then it seems, to talk about the gospel. With random people that you have never met before. All in all it was a lot of fun. We found some really cool people to teach, which is SUPER EXCITING.</div>

Tuesday and Wednesday ... Good-Bye days for Hermana Evans. These days are always the worst.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Hey Everyone how are you all this week? I am fantastic!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
These past two weeks have been really slow, but its ok because this week is transfers. I know most of the time I am not super excited about transfers, but 18 weeks living with someone is hard I love Hermana Evans but I think we are both ready for a change. One thing I am beyond happy about is that now I have a friend for life. Hermana Evans is literally amazing and she has helped me see who I want to be. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
That is one amazing this I have realized on my mission is that I have a potential to be a lot greater then I currently am. But another thing I have learned to welcome change. I am sad to see my companion go and honestly I am a bit nervous for a new companion. But at the same time I am excited for a new perspective and a new way to work.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
So everyone has told me that a mission would help prepare me for life. which in a lot of ways is true it helps you use money wisely and to wake up on time and all of that is true beyond a doubt. I am extremely grateful for the time I have to prepare for a mission and in that process prepare for life. No my life wont be exactly like a mission but I am going to have to manage money and time and get things done and still find time to have fun</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
For that I am grateful...</div>

Hey everyone so this week was kinda whatever. I mean yes we worked but that was pretty much it. I spent a lot of time just thinking this week and I have realized that I need to change a lot. Not in any major ways just small things but mostly in the way Ivlook at people I tend to be pretty cynical which in all reality is not a good thing. I just need to find a balance of being kind and charitable and protecting myself. I tend to be a very defensive person. I realize that not everyone is attacking me by giving them the benefit of the doubt. Then other then that I have really been thinking about something that President Riggs told me before he left. He said what's so bad with being taken advantage of? With that quote I am not saying that I want to be a doormat but I have realized that there really isn't anything wrong with people taking advantage of me. It means I have the opportunity to serve others and to show them how Christ would treat them. Which is with love, lets be honest isn't that what life is all about. Sorry to tell you but this is a pretty short email</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1440379715862_17188" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Oh but as for things concerning food. we ate these things that were awesome... I may have out ate the elders and that is what the picture is of and then I don't have a picture of the Mexican quesadillas but let me tell you they are better then any quesadilla you have ever had. Mexicans eat quesadillas different. So just as a warning if a Mexican offers you a hot dog don't eat it because it will have mayo with it... unless you like that kind of thing then go ahead and then if a Mexican offers you a quesadilla take it. Just say yes and let them prepare it for you. needless to say I ate 5 of them in one sitting..... I like Mexican food... and Salvadorian food... and Peruvian food... and Bolivian food. oh speaking of Bolivian food, I ate these fried cauliflower and carrot patty things, they were soooo good. I could live off them.</div>

Oh and my companion and I may have started pranking the elders that live below us and we may have filled like 100 balloons with glitter and threw them in the elders apartment and then a couple of days later they threw tomatoes at our porch..... lol things missionaries find fun and entertaining. as long as no one gets hurt.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Hey everyone! I am writing this on the metro on my way into DC. We are going to the Natural History museum today! Woo Hoo! So this week was different in a lot of ways. I have learned more about myself this week then I think I wanted to know but I needed to know. I am going to try and explain the best I can. But honestly this has been a LIFE changing week. It has been unbelievable. So where to start. Most of you who read this know me pretty well, but if you don't I am going to describe myself the way I see myself.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
I am the kind of person that doesn't smile often. I don't express emotions well. But despite that when I care about someone I would do anything for them. I can either be really nice or down right nasty and nowhere in between. Well at least that is who I was before my mission. Out here I have learned to fake it till you make it. I would fake and deal with the people I didn't like until I wasn't with them anymore. And that is what I have done my whole mission and a lot of my life, but then this past week I realized something. I realized I have been very judgmental of people out here. Even though I am in America, I live in a different culture then I am used to and I resented it. I had the mind set of they are in America they should be trying to adapt. But then I realized this week that they are people who are trying. Yes some of them maybe trying harder then others. But everyone of us, we are all humans with human natures and feelings and wants and desires and needs. And since we are all human we will make mistakes. And once I started to think like this then I realized I have been a hypocrite I have been wanting others to change without first changing myself. Which lets be honest we all in some way or another need to change and become better.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
This week we went to go visit a member and she has swimmers ear and she was complaining about it and she had taken a lot of headache medicine to try and solve it. When we got to her house she was on a lot of medicine and went and was throwing up so she decided to go to the hospital and I called President Huntsman to see if we<br />could take her. He said yes and that we could stay with her as long as needed. So at first I was slightly irritated that I had to take her to the hospital because she took too much medicine and then we got to the Hospital and due to an escaped patient only one of us could go in with the member we were with. and they only allowed that because she doesn't know English and we could translate for her. Which my companion did. So not knowing what to do I sat in the waiting room and then President Huntsman called me and he told me that it was amazing that we had been there at her house at that time and that I was brave enough to ask to break rules to get her the help she needed. Then it hit me. Like a giant boulder. I do care about the member we were with and yes I was frustrated with the situation she put herself in and then I started looking at it from her perspective. She is a single mom of 4 who didn't understand what was happening to her. all she knew was that she was in pain and to continue providing for her children the pain had to stop. She took medicine in hopes that it would help. Needless to say I felt terrible after that call. I had just regarded someone as a problem that was impeding me. it was truly sad. After that I really started to look at my life and I noticed I regarded many people in my life as simple objects. the PEOPLE that I teach are referred to as investigators and it is recorded weekly. I teach lessons everyday. But that wasn't why I came on a mission. so I went out into the parking lot while I was waiting for the other Hermanas to come pick me up because my companion had permission to stay the night in the hospital with the member so she wasn't alone. and as I waited I started to look around and it hit me it really hit me as to why I am out here. I am not out here to change other people I am here to change myself, to be better and become an advocate for Jesus Christ. So if you want to know what happened this week it is pretty simple I found ways to improve and I am excited to become a better person. The member is doing fine now we go over once a day to check on her and do her dishes and make sure her kids have food to eat for dinner. So this week is my new beginning to start to treat people as they really are. as humans that have feelings and desires and needs and wants that are no greater then mine. After all if Christ were thinking about his needs and wants and desires he wouldn't have died for us. I love you all and I hope everyone realizes that. I don't have to know your name. I don't have to recognize you in the store. But I love you.</div>

This week was pretty chill. </div>

Monday : We really just spent a ton of time trying to find more people, we didn't find any. That's how Monday went ...</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437965844915_21340" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Tuesday: We had our district meeting with a new district. I miss my old district but the people in my new one are pretty cool too. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437965844915_21340" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Wednesday: We went out again, to find new people. Didn't find any.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437965844915_21340" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Thursday: We got to meet our new Mission president. I was really sad to see President Riggs go home and at our last transfer meeting it was hard to say goodbye to him and his wife. But I know that President Huntsman is suppose to be here. He has already given us some great advice. He came to visit our zone on his second day out in Virginia and mind you we had been finding all week and we weren't having any luck. So he starts talking and he introduces his family and then he mentions Abinadi from the Book of Mormon. He went on to explain why he liked Abinadi, and how he was the greatest example of a missionary. Abinadi went out and taught and taught and taught. He did not convert even one person. But eventually Alma, whom Abinadi taught, converted. Alma went on to convert a multitude.<br />
President Huntsman said something really encouraging. He said that he knows that we were supposed to be where we are and even if it seems we aren't doing well or succeeding, we are helping someone. It was super uplifting. After we met President Huntsman we had a zone lunch with President Bush, the Stake President. It was fun and uplifting. We talked about goals for our stake and this transfer. Following, we had a meeting with our newly called ward mission leader. We were trying to get a feel for what his ward mission plan is and everything. After all this, we went home and ate. After we ate, we had a meeting with the Bishop to see what he wanted done this transfer. Finally, we went home and slept. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437965844915_21340" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Friday: We planned for the next week.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437965844915_21340" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Saturday: Our District Leader and his companion came by and gave us some chocolate. Then very hesitantly asked if we could go to a meeting. We asked when, they said in 30 minutes, which the church is 25 minutes away. We said yes. After the meeting (It was just our District) the elders invited us to a 4th of July party. We asked President Huntsman for permission. When he heard that 8 elders were going, he said it was fine. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437965844915_21340" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We hurried home and made some food. Then we went to the party. We played board games all night. It was tons of fun. We actually had the opportunity to stay out till 12.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-small;">“From my childhood days I have understood that we believe absolutely that the Constitution of our country is an inspired instrument, and that God directed those who created it and those who defended the independence of this nation. Concerning this matter it is my frequent pleasure to quote the statement by Joseph Smith, regarding the Constitution: ‘The Constitution of the United States is a glorious standard; it is founded in the wisdom of God. It is a heavenly banner; it is, to all those who are privileged with the sweets of liberty, like the cooling shades and refreshing waters of a great rock in a weary and thirsty land. It is like a great tree under whose branches men from every clime can be shielded from the burning rays of the sun.’ [TPJS 147]. And such the Constitution of the United States must be to every faithful Latter-day Saint who lives under its protection.”</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">Hola a Todos !!!</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436284892142_139702" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">June 29, 2015</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Como estan? Espero que todo este bien con ustedes! But seriously I hope everyone is doing well. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436284892142_139702" style="background-color: white;">

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436284892142_139702" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So to leave off from last week I was having a rough time. I think I got 5 emails from people that were concerned. First, thank you all so much! Now for whats important, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. Stress makes you think weird things. It makes happy moments seem bleak. I have learned that when you start thinking about happy thoughts and even more, thinking about the savior the bad days seem to disappear. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436284892142_139702" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436284892142_139702" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So this week was transfer week, Hermana Evans and I are still together... 3 transfers is a long time with someone. I am grateful that we get along.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436284892142_139702" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436284892142_139702" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As all heard last week I broke my iPad. I thought a lot about my iPad on Tuesday. As we started our studies, I was still thinking about the iPad.. We were preparing for a lesson with a recent converted family. They are waiting for their daughter to be sealed with them. We thought that patience would be good for them. As I started to read, it occurred to me that it wasn't them that needed that lesson it was me.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436284892142_139702" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436284892142_139702" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have worked hard this week on my patience. I have noticed that I can see the good things in life, instead of the bad. Yes I still get upset. I still get irritated, but less often. When my mind isn't consumed about things that make me irritated, I can focus more on the spirit. It is actually quite liberating. I can see why they say a mission helps you become a better parent. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436284892142_139702" style="background-color: white;">

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I received a package .. Hermana Evans' mom sent me a package and it was super cute. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436284892142_139702" style="background-color: white;">

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hermana Evans left the gas stove top on accident. We were sitting on the porch and there was a huge spider..... so we ran downstairs and asked some of the elders to help us. Of course they just started laughing and laughing. They finally decided they could help us. They came back with a Lighter and some Sunscreen. Luckily, we remembered about the gas, since our house was filled with gas. We caught them in time. They ended up just smooshing it. </span></div>

Transfer meetings are filled with mixed emotions. </span><span style="line-height: 21.2666664123535px;">Missionaries</span><span style="line-height: 15.95pt;"> coming and going. It is heartbreaking to see the </span><span style="line-height: 21.2666664123535px;">Missionaries</span><span style="line-height: 15.95pt;">, that you have become close to, Leave.

I love them and will miss them. But .... I am really excited to meet the Huntsman Family.</span></span></div>

Tuesday, Eddy got his baptismal interview..... it was amazing. After the interviews, we went home. I was checking my e-mail and a huge bug landed on my arm. I screamed and dropped everything in my hands.... which was my iPad. Yep the whole screen is shattered. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wednesday, first thing we headed to the Apple Store in the mall. The Apple store just wanted me to buy a new iPad, not fix the one I have. Afterwards, we got a call saying Eddy might not be able to be baptized. My stress level was pretty high at the moment. I swear I have lost half of my hair this past week. Thankfully Wednesday night was stress-free. We went to a member's house and made some really cool stuffed pork. It was delicious.</div>

Thursday we had a District Meeting. It was long, but as always, very inspiring. We also had to start getting ready for Diana (Hermana DeBry's Investigator) baptism. We made some really awesome programs for her baptism. On our way to dinner we caught got in a crazy storm. The storm quickly passed. After dinner and the storm, we went out tracting. We found a few potentials. Thursday was a good day.</div>

Friday, Diana's Baptism, We had so much to do !!!! Without detailing everything, we went to the church and started preparing. The baptism was GREAT and the spirit was STRONG !!! After the Baptism, the ward had a Father's Day Party. The party was fun and a perfect ending to the day.</div>

Saturday, Eddy's Baptism, simple amazing. The spirit was just as strong as the day before. I was able to sing at the Baptism, "I Know Heavenly Father Loves Me". After Eddy's baptism, we decided to go the the Elder's baptism. That's when the night got exciting. About half way through the baptism, we received a Tornado Warning. We were literally trapped in the Church for a Half Hour. Tornado Warning are always fun ... NOT</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Hello Beautiful People ...</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">How is life in the real world? This week has been interesting. It </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">started out normal.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We had a great time with Tara, who is 17, and filled </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">with drama. Literally I feel like I am back in high school when we </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">talk with her.... Except it's worse.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">On Tuesday, we had zone </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">conference. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We talked about respecting our leaders and how our </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">mission has troubles. In one of our activities, everyone was put into groups. I was in a group with about 8 </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">people, 2 of which were my Zone Leaders, one of which was my Mission P</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">residents wife. Besides her I was the only girl... So it was </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">slightly awkward. The group was discussing why w</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">e should respect our leaders and how it isn't that hard. I </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">said "It is hard to respect someone that doesn't have faith in what </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">you are capable of." I mean, I truly get that we need to respect out </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">leaders. They have earned and rightfully deserve </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">their callings. I really just said this to bring up the other side </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">of the story, to make it a fair debate. I don't have any problems with </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">my leaders. It was honestly just brought up for the debate. Now e</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">veryone in my zone is saying it, I feel awkward that they all </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">care that much. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">After the Zone Conference we went to eat some BBQ</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">. The restaurant is called Red, Hot and Blue.... It is the best. If you are ever in this area, you have to try it.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We had a meeting with President Riggs this week,</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> just Hermana Evans and I. President Riggs </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">is so cool. I am sad that he is leaving. On the other hand, I am </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">excited to see what my new Mission President, President Huntsman, does differently.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">On Friday we get a call, Hermana DeBry is going to be our </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">companion. We are a Trio, again !!! Unfortunately, Hermana Craner has to go home for surgery. This left Hermana DeBry all by herself, which is why we get a trio. Needless to say, We had to go home and rearrange our room so another bed would fit. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Saturday was a sad day. All of us went to the Mission office to say</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">goodbye to Hermana Craner. We are keeping her in our prayers and look forward to the day she returns. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> Hermana Debry is now in a trio with us and we are covering </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">both of the areas... Woooo hoooo. Lots of hard work ahead for us! After saying our "Goodbyes", we went home and dropped off Hermana DeBry's belongings. Then we headed off to a </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">service project for the Police and Fireman games. This is a I</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">nternational Olympics for Police and Fireman. Our job was helping get the the</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> beginning preparation stuff together. Lots of FUN... We were </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">doing assembly lines and I was between Elder Page and Elder Courn,</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> they went boy, girl, boy, girl in the assembly line. Standing there </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">for 3 hours you really get to know these guys. I like </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">that my companions are girls and are normal.... Boys are weird and </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">have cooties.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Anyway, after that we went to 2 Baptism's,</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> Fatima and Axel. Fatima is the lady </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">that got married last week, her son is Axel. Ramon, her husband, is a member. They also have an adorable little girl, Tiffany. I just love this </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">family so much, they are so cute! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">No funny food stories this week. We just ate some quinoa salad which </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">was awesome. Can't forget the gelato, which is so addicting. We also ate C</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">hick-Fil-a at the service project..... It was yummy. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Totally Random Story ... I met this guy and he was a street contact. I </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">talked to him, gave him our number, and a Book of Mormon. He </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">seemed a little interested and I completely forgot to get his number. Two</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> days </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">later we get a random call and he said he just wanted us to have his </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">number. He would like us to come back when he isn't working.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We went to the Holocaust museum today. What a humbling experience. It is hard for me to comprehend the persecution that they faced. Beautiful sons and daughters of God, slaughtered because of their beliefs. I hope and pray that all of us can love, unconditionally. No matter our differences, our beliefs, our color,etc... I am grateful that I have the knowledge, that God loves me. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">June 8, 2015</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">How is every thing? This past week was pretty slow, but the </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">weekend was CRAZY !!! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Friday we went to a wedding, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Saturday we had a baptism of a little 8 year old girl. We </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">helped decorate and did the programs. The decorations were very pretty, it was </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">like a wedding in many ways. A bunch of Return Missionaries stayed </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">at the Moms house. We went over there 3 days in a row and helped her cook for </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">everyone. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Btw I am getting good at cooking Mexican food. Speaking of </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">food I ate cow tongue. It tasted awesome. It was in tacos and she had </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">this really good green tomato salsa. It was amazing. I could eat it </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">everyday. Although it looked a little weird when she went to go cut it </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">up. And amazingly enough it wasn't even a weird texture. Yeah it was </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">good. Oh but the sad part was I had an allergic reaction to something </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">so we had to spend the rest of the night at home. Which was sad but I </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">got these cool outlines done for some lessons and then we caught 5 </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">more fireflies. They are named Doug, Dave, Danny, Steve and Louis. Three of them </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">are good little fireflies, the other two are escape </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">artists...... But seriously Dave is on our wall right now. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Today </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">we had a house inspection. We went through our house and got rid of </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">everything from Missionaries that have gone home. We shampooed our </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">carpets and scrubbed the fridge. That took all of our Wednesday. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">On </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Monday, after I sent this email, we went to a recent converts house. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I really thought she didn't like us. W</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">e were slightly nervous, but </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">felt inspired to share a book with them. The girl </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">started crying and she said it was exactly what she needed. It was a very spiritual moment. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">O</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">n Sunday she came and sat next to me </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">and just started talking to me and all that. It was awesome.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We went to McDonalds to eat one day. A guy walked past us, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">bought his food and sat down at a table across from us. Not that strange, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I mean we were in McDonalds. We finished </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">eating and got up to throw our trash away. He looked at us, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">said "Oh, you guys must have a fun job". I started to </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">explain that we are Missionaries. He said that he would love </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">to listen to what we had to say. In my head I had a feeling that we </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">should leave. But the other part of me knew that I am struggling </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">talking to people, we decided to talk to him. We started off with</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">the normal get to know you questions. Then asked if we could share a video. Well ... all of a sudden</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> he starts to argue doctrine with us. I </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">finally told him to let me talk, we showed him the, "Because He Lives" </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">video. He told us that is not what Mormons believe. Really!!!!! you are </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">going to tell me what I believe???? But amazingly enough Hermana Evans </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">and I kept in our tempers. We didn't argue and had a civilized </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">conversation where we told him what we believed. He said that </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">was great, but my Jesus was the wrong Jesus. He proceeded to tell us that we were going to Hell. So </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">there you have it folks....... No just kidding.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> I know without a doubt </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">in my mind that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church on the </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">earth today. I will die before I ever deny that. I am not out </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">here on my mission to put others down or condemn other people. I am </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">sorry if I have ever made anyone else feel that way. If there is one </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">thing I have learned on my mission it is that everyone is different </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">there are a lot of different cultures, but not one is better then the </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">other. Bolivia, Peru and El Salvador are all different. But t</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">he people are so similiar, they are kind. They are all looking for happiness,</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> even though they come from different walks of life. They </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">get along and find something they have in common. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Before my mission I </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">was quick to judge, I would judge a lot of people at first sight. I </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">now realize that God loves us all. He loves me enough to answer my </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">silly prayers, that are please just let me have a letter today or let </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">there be fireflies out tonight. He loves me enough to answer those </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">silly little things and also the big things like forgiveness. In 3 </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Nephi 14:9-11 it says" or what man is there among you, who, if his son </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">ask bread, will give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give a </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">children how much more shall your father who is in heaven give good </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">things to them that ask him?" He loves all of us enough.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Other then that today is my 8 month mark..... 10 more to go!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Well love you all and hope your week is amazing!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello Beautiful Family and Friends. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">How is everything going with you </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">all today and this past week? It hasn't been very long since my last </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">email, so not a lot of things have happened. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Thursday our car had a recall. We took the car to the dealership, our Z</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">one Leaders picked us up. There were able to help us get our Area Book online. We were also able to work on some other stuff. Our car was actually done early :) They took us back to our car, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">we went home and tried to get some weekly planning done. We did not accomplish as much as we had hoped. We had to be on our way and help</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> Hermana Rodriguez clean her house. The Elder's are coming to paint her house on Saturday. Cleaning actually took forever, but we had lots of fun. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">On Friday we went to our TIWI meeting in Centreville and </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">we got the TIWI installed in our car. It yells at you if you drive to </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">fast, stop to fast, start too fast, etc. So </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">if you are a bad driver, it rats you out and reports you to Salt Lake. If you get too many reports, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">they tell your Mission President that your license should be taken </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">away. Yep that's fun. It has only gotten mad at me once but luckily it </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">gives you warnings when you start to speed. Everyone in my district </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">has a competition to see who lasts the longest without getting their </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">license pulled. All of us think Elder Mortimer will lose it first... </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Any way after that we went to go eat dinner with Hermana Salinas. she </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">is from Peru and she made baby chicken.... mmmm yummy. Not really, it </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">is actually really gross and kinda sad. She claimed they were the biggest </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">babies she could find. After eating, we went to correlation with Hermana </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Gonzalas. Between the TIWI and correlation meeting.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Saturday we went to the Temple Visitor Center with </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Hermana Bozo and Her husband Fernando. It was awesome. we went </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">through and watched like 10 videos. Their favorite video was about R</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">eturn Missionaries and it was in English...They are weird.... hahahaha. After, They </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">took us to eat </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">salteñas, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">which is just about the yummiest food </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">ever. It is a dish from Bolivia and I love it. I cant really describe </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">it, it reminds me of a calzone,but it isn't a pizza. It has juice,</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> chicken, eggs, potatoes and some yummy </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">seasonings. The best part of the day ... They both loved the Temple and made an appointment to go and watch more videos.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Sunday ... Of course we went to church. Sister Rodriguez came and told us that the Elder's did not finish painting her house. She needed help finishing up. The baptism was going to be on Tuesday, she had people staying at her house and really needed it done. It was Sunday, but we felt that helping this Sister was the right thing to do. We</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> ended up painting her whole kitchen including the </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">cutting. Mom and Terry, you would have been so proud of me. Terry, you would </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">have laughed when you saw my face after she told me I also needed to paint the</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> ceiling. Yep, 3 maybe 4 hours later we finished. We were </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">completely exhausted but it was still only like 7. We decided </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">to go and see a less active member. While talking to her, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">a firefly came out. Hermana Evans stopped talking, and went to catch it. Within minutes all three of us were out catching Fireflies. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> It was lots of fun, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">it also gave us a chance to calm down and </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">relax. </span></span></div>
