July 1

i have so much to tell you and so little time. Thank you for your letters i want to respond to every bit but we´ll see what i can do. It´s true they don´t have a 4th of july here dad. it´s wierd i know but the day just doesn´t exist. they have 32 of september because that is when their national holiday is in september. but they spend all week celebrating with lots of food so they add an extra day at the end to make up for the loss. 
4th of july is such a fun holiday and gil and sj are going to be hitched en la morning! fancy that. CONGRATULATIONS! 
nothing really changes here with te facebook thing and ya we have a cell phone.  we just started tracking this week we haven´t had to do that yet but we´re getting desperate apparently. on thursday we tracked a street that we have no contacts or memebers or anyone. it was pouring rain and so no one wanted us to come it and then someone called us through the pounding rain to come over so we went to their house but... she was a memeber so that failed. talked to her for a bit. she has a son leaving in a few days for brazil for his mission. vising her sister who doesn´t want anything with the church... haha so ya tracking is fun.
i´ve used one of the games so far thanks! we are planning to have another ward activity in july oh it is july but i don´t know what. 
so the hot chocolate is good i guess. lol. it´s just the reg. and we don´t put whip cream on but dessert is almost always peaches and cream. I LOVE IT! 

i don´t know when our address changes and i don´tknow what it is. thanks for ordering that stuff for me. we can´t order it throught he missiion dad. only stuff for our investigators like books of mormon which we´ve been out of for probably a month. that´s kindof hard to teach about the book of mormon and the pray to know that it´s true when they don´t have it.. haha but the church is busy printing them i´m sure. 
so this week i finally bought peanuts from this cute little train thing that this man pushes around. it´s just the darnest thing. a little train with peanuts. but it wasn´t very much for how much it was so i probably won´t be doing that. like a whole 50 cents for this teeny tiny bag... okay i hadn´t converted it yet but still... 
another day when trackting there was a rainbow full and bright with a twin! i tried to call everyone out of their house to see this beauiful sight but no one wanted to come... modern day snake on a pole. 
we found this family of evangeligists. that. was fun. lol. okay i probably shouldn´t say that but they reminded me of hippies so i obviosly had fun and when they started preaching what they beleived someone started playing music to go with it and they passed around the mate and then we had them say the closing prayer... that was interesting.  
okay but really this is the best part of the week. really not the best part because i dont´know what it means as far as the future goes but one of our investigators aparently saw me as a ghost by her sons bed. LOL!!!! she was tall and had blonde hair so it naturally was the gringa missionary. I was laughing so hard!
I´m am so glad that we can be resurrected. i rememeber studing this at the mtc and really thinking. hhm.. i think we are really going to miss our bodies when we die. but then again we will be busy preaching the gospel so it shouldn´t be too bad. it´s amazing that we are going to have a perfected body! and that our spirit can completely control it. What is our spirit going to be?
our ward is going to the temple in september and this week the youngens sold completos to raise money to go. i´m not sure how hard it is for them. i´ll find out. my ward doen´t have a lot of money so i´m sure it´s harder for them!
more on this next week!
LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so sos sos oss ossoso much!!ç
