Man I miss this girl!

February 17th, 2014: Scheduled her second baptism!

Hi mom!!!!
   I did receive my gift and we have already started listening to it!!! Thank you so much!!! I missed being home for V-Day. The table looks so awesome!!! Looks like Y'all had fun!!! My V-Day we had an all-day meeting with a member of the quorum of the 70! It was so good! He talked about how we can become better missionaries and what not! I learned so much and have really been reflecting about how I can use what he said and make myself a great missionary! But it was really good!!!

 I hope you are all feeling better! My companion got sick a couple of times this past week and man it was not fun! It has finally started warming up here which has been good! Because it has for some reason been so cold! But we are really close to the ocean so we get a lot of rain! But man the sky is so pretty afterwards. Texas has the best skies I have ever seen, Shay would be in heaven with their sunsets haha!!! They are something else!!!

  I am so EXCITED to hear about Shayley and her papers!!! Man that is just so awesome!!! I really cannot wait till she gets her call and knows where she is going!!!! That is seriously so AWESOME!!!

  I heard about Kali that is just so hard! I will definitely pray for her!!! I can’t even imagine! Haha and the Asians would love her hair haha!!! She is blonde haha!!!

 Man I wish I could have seen Meaghan get her teeth out that was probably like the funniest thing ever!!!!

Sounds like you guys are doing great!!!! I miss you all so much!!! Oh and one of our investigators is getting baptized this Sunday on Dads B-Day!!! So awesome so please keep him in your prayers we are getting really excited for it!!! It is the greatest feeling to bring all these people to the waters of baptism! I am seriously blessed!!!!!

I love you all and hope that you all have an amazing week!

Hey mother dear!!!!

   I am sorry to hear about the sickness yet again, that does not sound fun at all! Bleh we went a saw one of our investigators and 4 out of her 5 boys were sick and we didn't know till we were in there teaching. Thankfully we haven't gotten sick as well! That would not be fun haha!!!!

  I am glad to hear the kids are doing well and are enjoying school! I have such smart siblings!!! I do miss them like crazy!!! I had printed some more of our family pics and hung them on my wall and was looking at them yesterday. I miss you all so much and I am so thankful that God has blessed me with the best family in the world!!! And the cutest family in the world ;) I just love you all so much!!!

  When Kayla and Julie have their babies you will have to send me a picture of them. I want to see their babies so bad!!! They are going to be like the cutest things in the world, I mean look at them! haha I love babies!!! One family we teach has the chunkiest baby in the world. She is so cute! I have never seen such a big baby and her cheeks like oh my gosh haha!!!! So fun!!! How are the both of them doing?

  I bet dad loved the dance, haha that is like his favorite time of the year to go to the dance with his cute little wife and dance the night away! ;) Sounds like ya'll had a fun day!!!

I am also still in the same area! Thank goodness I really don't want to leave this area. Haha. I love it too much!!!! Our convert received the Holy Ghost yesterday!! It was so awesome!!! It is really cool to see how much he has changed in just a short period of time! The gospel can make a difference in someone’s life for the better it is so great!!! I am doing well in Spanish as well. I wish I was better but little by little lots of the members have said that I am getting really good and are surprised at how well I am doing!!! I am just so grateful for the Lords hand he definitely has been helping me out so much!!!! I am just so happy!!!

Love you so much and hope you have a great week!!!! Miss you all and tell the kids that I miss them as well!!!

February 4th, 2014: Her first Baptism!

My week was so great!!! Only one of our investigators ended up getting baptized the other one wasn't quite ready! But the baptism was so amazing we had such a good turn out and man was the spirit so strong! It was cool because I was baptized 2-02-02 and he was baptized exactly 12 years after I was... how cool is that!!! My first baptism is the same day as mine!!! I thought that was really neat!!! I am glad that my package got there and that you love your gifts! I wasn't to sure about the nativity set but I thought it would be cute to add to your collection!! and I loved the pin I got that in Mexico and so I am glad to hear that lots of other people liked it to!!! Man I could go for some Girl scout cookies haha well if I could eat them anyway lol but I am glad to hear that everything is working out great with that sounds like the girls are just loving it!!!

  This week was really good! I had a hard day but was able to quickly recover from that and get on with the work!! it can be so stressful at times but it is times like those that I can definitely see The Lords hand in my life and can feel the prayers of those around me so thank  you so much!!! I love you so much and miss you!!! Thanks for all your support and giving me the opportunity to learn of this gospel and grow up in it as well!!! I see so many people here that are lost and I really feel blessed to have the gospel in my life!!! I love you with my whole Corazon (heart) :)

Her cute little apartment, and I think its the Bishop and his wife... :)

January 6, 2014. Totally forgot about this letter... Sorry!

Dear Family,

Wow sounds like you had so much fun in Idaho, just so much fun!!! I really miss being there with you guys but it will all be worth it in the long run! Tell everyone thanks for the money it really helps! Tell Cheryl thanks, as I loved the Christmas pillowcase she made!! She really is just so awesome and kind and send me a pic of the Smellsters outfit that she made, man I miss Mylee like crazy ahah!!! There is a lady that walks at the same track as us with her little dog and its all dressed up it reminds me of Mylee so much but of course Mylee is so much cuter haha!!!! This Christmas went by so fast but the kids will be good for you haha they are just awesome and I miss them!!! I am sending ya'lls package out hopefully today! but ya that is the plan!
  Things here are great!!! We have about 4 investigators that are progressing a lot! It was really neat being able to see them come into sacrament yesterday! I have never been so happy especially this one guy who has not come to church once, he came yesterday and man was my heart full! I keep praying that the lord will continue to soften his heart so he can be baptized. I have eaten so much food here!!! But it is mostly always good especially there tamales! I ate the regular ones, pineapple(not good), Honduranian, and Puerto Rican. The three were delicious but the pineapple was disgusting haha!!! But I also have come to love salad haha I eat salad whenever we go out to lunch or dinner with the other missionaires cause I can't eat much but it is still really good haha!!! I have only eaten 2 dinners that were just disgusting... one lady gave us charcoal black tamales and we have to eat them or they get offended which we don't want haha!!! Oh, but do you rember that lady that came and talked to you for a bit when I was skyping. She is the best she is like my second mother haha she is always giving me hugs and calls me her sweetie and what not it is so funny I just love her she has really taken me in which has helped me a lot so I don't get too homesick. But ya everything is great here just really cold and it is not like Utah cold. The air bites you through your clothes, it is the worst! It's ok cause I am doing The Lord's work so I just have to get over it haha!!!
  I am glad to hear that family history is going well! That is always great to hear about!!! You are so awesome and such an example to me!!! God sure does love me because he sent me to the best family in the WHOLE entire world!!!! I love you so much and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Can't wait to hear from you next week!!!! and can you send me cindys address??? thanks

Birthday and Battleship.
