Como Estas? Thank you for all of your letters and packages! They were delicious to the body and soul. It was my companions birthday and two days later another sister's bday in my district so we made candles with forks and put them in old cake things that another sister had and then just ate up the cake bites. it was absolutely perfect and they were so confused as to how we did it because we are always with them. Ha! Perfect timing family! We wore polka dots for Hermana Dodds birthday and stripes for Hermana Seegmillers birthday but only one of the Elders had a polka dot tie- lame.
Thank you also to Lani and Aunt Debbie! You are so thoughtful! It means seriously so much! MUCHO GRACIAS!
We recieved our second teacher who is fantastic. le mucho amo. He's complete opposite of our other teacher and helps us more with gospel than with the language because he speaks in english for the most part.
Conference was fantastic of course. and of course they talked about missionaries silly what did you expect? We're like the hope of Israel. I'm just kidding you. In between sessions they let us watch the news showing thing of the MTC so that was exciting to see the wave of new missionaries be covered on tv except that commercials came on in between and there was was where this teenager and parents were both yelling at each other and I don't think there could've been a better picture taken than of all the missionaries at that moment because we haven't heard anything like that for so long. I think we all froze in our seats and stared at the screen in pure horror.
Two elders came up to me and asked if my name tag was longer than the others or if they had to squeeze my name on. The whole first week everyone knew me not because they had met me but because I was the girl with the long and wierd last name. However, it does give me big shoes to fill because everyone knows Haley. They ask me if I have an older sister and I know they are talking about Haley mi prima! In case she reads this, Elder Haselton is in my zone heading to Argentina yo creo and some other guy that is getting married that laughed at my spansh during trc that your knew before the mission-- I think that's what he said. Really I have no idea.
My companion learned Italian at school. She was going to do some Italian internship this semester that she had a goal of doing her whole life but decided to go on a mission instead.
We have only 4 girls in our room so we do have closet space. But there is an extra bunkbed. Haha. Oh interesting fact. We had 700 people enter the MTC on the day I came in and only 6 girls away from being 50/50 elders and sisters! I'm not sure if that's a good thing... but interstesting.
The idea for the family reunion sounds so great! Do I still get a number? I hope so!
The baby blessing sounded great!
Tate! The bench does get a little cold-- I don't usually sit on it.. and I definetly won't now. the showers here are gross but if you just close your eyes it's not so bad. we clean them for our service (snicker) but really there's just lots of hair. But also considering- it's not so bad. I hear your band concert went well!! that's great!. Also You need to tell me all about your dance! I think your answer was perfect! Please send pictures and what not. And I love the picture you sent me. I don't think that my companion got it but it was funny because of that commercial.
Oh speaking of pictures. Family. I would like more. I wish I had more time to find the ones I wanted. So I have my baptism picture but really I would prefer my baptism picture with Dad (aka priesthood) and I have our family picture of sav & Rich's wedding but really I want the one where we are in front of them temple- stupid me. I know you can't really see the temple so maybe that one and then one of just them with the whole temple. Si?
Brockton!! You are so funny. I read little bits of your letters to the hermanas in mi room and they think you're funny too! I love your bubble party! I can just imagine it! Thanks for all the details! Hahaha! even in class!! LOL as I write! Just don't get caught now and get good grades
But really to Grandpa!! WHAT? WHY ARE YOU CUTTING DOWN THE TREES? There isn't going to be a fire! Why don't you just hire full time fireman or buy a fire hose instead? That would last much longer.
I love you all so much! and think about you all the time. Yo se que esta inglesia is verdad y que JesuChristo es mi hermano. El es el unica monera podemos regresar vivir con nuesto Padre Celestial. podrio mas pero no tengo tiempo. perdon mi grammer.
