Hola mi Familia y mis amigos! Guess what - it's not even 9am and I'm
writing you already - that's weird but awesome cause when I'm done I get to put
on pjs for like 5 more hours! YAY!!!
Anywho - this week has been crazy! We had two girl's leave from our
district and that is weird because now the Elders outnumber us! It's all good
though. We even go some new elders to the Zone last week and they are pretty
cool - not going to lie we talked about different superhero movies at dinner
last night and i LOVED it! YES - i love this work and my heart is focused, as is
my mind, but it is nice to take appropriate breaks and talk about movies or
music (even had a talk about the Biebs the other night with my hermanas in my
district - called it sista talk :P it was fun - miss me some bieber and my
bieber buddies [erika and sammie jay]) any whoo.....
So I had my biggest mistake yet in Spanish this week :P First - our
investigators are progressing well and the Lord is helping us teach them with
the Spirit. So - we have our sister investigator committed to baptism, but we
have to teach her all the commandments before then and commit her to them before
she can be baptized (as well as take her to church 3 times - impossible so we
will move her date). On Saturday, we were teaching her about the law of tithing,
which i'd studied vocab for a few days and was ready. Well, during our lesson,
we have to tell her "to pay" her tithing which is PAGAR in spanish...I told her
to PEGAR her tithing which means "to hit"...haha, yep according to my companion
I did that multiple times, but no one told me until after :P yep, i'm
cool.
little notes of love this week - Sis. Marrott! Thank you soo much!! Your
letters are great and I really love to hear from you! I will try to keep writing
but please forgive me if I get a little off track.

so please let me know! Send me letters] k - brielle, thank you for that I loved
it! Can't wait to hear of how amazing your wedding is :D
- Richards family - does Elder Richards have a new address?? I've been
wondering but not sure and I don't want to send letters to the wrong address and
he not get them. If someone could dear elder it to me and his mission address I
would grately appreciate it! Thank you!!
- Alex Monteleone!! You're graduating!! CRAZY COOL!! I hope you have an
absolutely amazing graduation and you share a bunch of hugs with my family (you
give great hugs) and exchange some from me you to from them and from me to them
from you :D hope that made sense! and write me soon you crazy busy woman - also
I wore our skirt this week! cool huh?? LOVE YOU!
-Kaity Word!! Congrats on those job
offers! i have a request for you - can you please go to like a second hand/LDS
book store and see if they have an old copy of 'Jesus the Christ'?? I want to
have one from back in the day but can't get anything like that here. please and
thank you :D
-Kyle Brunson (yes - a little random note I know [erika can you post this
on his FCBK please :D] ) I met an Hermana VanKatwyk last week and we talked
freelines - way cool. Says she's from vacaville! any whoo - hope all is well and
your loving BYUI!!!
-Erika Marie - I LOVE YOU!!! and i just want you to know that know you need
to learn a 4th language (aka - Spanish) so we can communicate when I get home.
ps - send my mom your address so she can get a BYUI sweatshirt :D
-B-man - how did football end up for you?! Write me! LOVE YOU!!
Okay - five minutes left. Um I love this work! I feel like we are doing a
lot every day but it is amazing how much you learn through the spirit. I would
be burnt out by now if it wasn't for the Spirit teaching me the things that I
need to know to testify of the truthfulness of this Gospel. i wouldn't be out
here doing what I'm doing if i didn't believe in it! The Book of Mormon will not
shake your testimony and make you question Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, but
will make them So much more real! You will know of the love Heavenly Father has
for us and why Christ was willing to suffer so much so that we could return to
Heavenly Father again. I know that when you read the Book of Mormon, you will
feel the Spirit and it will testify truth unto you! I know that this gospel is
true and I am grateful everyday for the missionaries who carry it to every part
of the world. I love you all very much and thank you for all your support! I
know that my words are plan, as are all missionaries, but we have the Spirit
when we are worthy of it, and that is what testifies of Christ.
