GUYS.
This
week was just chuck full of ups and downs.
SHOUTOUT
TO MY FAMILY FOR THE SICKEST PACKAGE EVER. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!! AH. THANK
YOU.
Shoutout
to Hermana Jojola because I just love her with all my heart, might, mind and
strength.
I love Hermana Jojola
Hermana Jojola laughs way hard at my ugly pillow. Que va a hacer.
And
shoutouts to all of you who wrote me for my birthday!! You guys are the best!!
I had an awesome birthday here yesterday, people really went out of their way
to love me and make the day super special.
I stuck with Latino tradition and the first bite goes like this.
A little clean up after tradition.
Some cute girls from the young single adults invited me over
on my birthday and taught us how to make Frito! so fun!!! I had the best
birthday!
A girl we are teaching. Alejandria, she is getting baptized on Saturday!
Yoana and Romina celebrated my birthday with me.
These girls surprised me with the cutest birthday card! and
also Ignasio... he is our ward mission leader and he's leaving this October to
serve. They're the best!
On
Tuesday, we had an activity with the Ward and it was so fun!! All of our
investigators showed up and the Ward had so much fun. I just sat and watched
everyone dance and laugh and just wished that I could stay here forever… I just
love Latinos. Ain't no way Ward activities like that are happening when I get
back to the states. It was great.
At the activity.... it WAS just a picture of me and hna
jojola... but all the guys went crazy and jumped in. They're the best haha
On
Thursday, We got NEW RULES…
The
Hermanas and Elders are now…. Strangers. We don't call the Elders, we don't see
the elders… we do nothing with the Elders. To the point that today is Pday, and
all the Elders are going to play soccer… and us sisters can't go. Rough.
Yesterday I was complaining about the new rules and Hna Jojola says..
"lets
not murmur.."
Me: "I'm lamen and you're lemuel"
Her: "No!"
Her: "No, Laman was way bad!"
Me:"Okay.
I'm Lemuel. And you're Nephi."
Her: "… Lemuel was bad too.."
Me: "OKAY HERMANA JOJOLA, I'M SAM."
Her: "…"
Me: "…"
Her: "Fine. You're Sam."
I'll
be Nephi next week, I just need to adjust to the new restrictions.
So
the end of the week…I was feeling SO SICK. And I haven't been sick in
months, so i was so confused….
But
Hermana Jojola knew that I wasn't feeling good… and I walk into our room and she
is on her knees and I'm like…
"….
Are you praying?" and she's like…
"YES
BECAUSE YOU'RE SICK AND I PRAYED IN ENGLISH BECAUSE I WANTED IT TO BE VERY.
CLEAR."
She
is so cool.
I
love all of my emails from you guys!! Sometimes everyone back home just tells me
what "an inspiration" I am, when I'm over here like.. basically a nun. hahaha
And I'm STILL trying to perfect my Spanish. It's killing me. But I'm getting better
every day. I think I'm mostly scared of getting home and my dad correcting me
every sentence. Which i guess is okay, because I correct his English about
every sentence too. hahha
We
are just having a ball here on the mission, she and I. I've already learned so
much from her and we are teaching so many people. We are really trying to
fulfill our PURPOSE as missionaries and invite EVERYONE to come unto Christ and
be baptized. I'm so grateful for her, she has already helped me so much and
taught me so much and she only has 4 months on the mission. It's great. I love
laughing.
Okay... I
gotta wrap this up. Thanks so much for writing me, you all rock, seriously. I'll
be home before ya know it…. Sob…
MUAH!
Also…

My backpack was dying....

Love,
Hermana
