I have to brag about Janessa this one time while sending out her e-mail. Janessa was selected to be the Valedictorian for her graduating class from S.U.U. The President of the University selected her by her perfect 4.0 and the difficulty of the classes she took. We went down to Cedar City to accept her award, it was awesome!! The college she graduated in was Education and Human Development. She wants to go to the U.Of U. when she gets home and get her degree in Physical Therapy. At least that's the plan.

hello hello hello.
how are you doin? how
was the avengers movie?? o man i cant wait to watch it. it is gonna
be awesome. okay so, once again... i had a crazy week. so before i
forget, no i havent received any of your letters yet. and i dont know if
i will this week because we have zone conference tomorrow, instead of
district meeting. so ya.... o man!!! i guess this is just testing my
patience right? so thanks for the emails. and it is good to know that i
am officially graduated. phew.
okay so i have been in the mission field for four ish
weeks. an hermana told me that i am allowed to be dramatic for the
first month of my mission. so i am going to take advantage of this
opportunity and just be crazy. o ya and by the way,.... dont worry. i
will probably be dramatic for the rest of my mission. because it is way
funnier than being normal right?
so i barely avoided a catastrophe by like one inch.... i
was drinking hot chocolate at my desk during breakfast.. it was a good
morning until .. boom. i spilled my hot chocolate all over the place!!
it missed my new, beautiful scriptures by like 1 inch.... o my
goodness. ahhhhhh. well it totally destroyed my agenda book, and it
got at my language book... but o well. esta bien. o my hackin. that is
one way to wake up in the morning. phew.
An elder in my district is in the hospital. his
appendix burst. o my goodness. they said that it is a good thing that
he came in when he did, or else he could have died. the lord is
protecting his missionaries. we visited him in the hospital, and he
said that he is going to be fine. o my goodness i hope that i dont get
sick. but its okay he is going to be better really soon.
we are teaching (reteaching) a inactive member named
vanessa. she was baptized when she was ten, but she said she has
forgotten most of the principles of the gospel. i am so excited for
her. she is full of questions, and she really wants to become active in
the church again. she visited the temple this week, and she wants to
get her recommend. she is so full of enthusiasm about the church. haha
i was surprised when she actually like studied the readings that we
gave her. wow!
outside of our apartment, every weekend. there are a
few people that dance in the middle of the street. it is so cool. it
is like the classic dances of bolivia!! i just want to go out and learn
the dances. so ya... that is what they do for fun on the weekends...
thats cool... cooler than anything i ever did. i so want to go and join
them, but i cant right now... o well. esta bien.
so we had a lot of appointments set up this last
week.... and you would not believe it. every.... single... appointment
... fell through this week. no one was home. what?! how often does
that happen? haha... we knocked doors... and found no one... there is a
really strong catholic influence in this neighborhood.
unbelievable. but no worries. we met with the bishopric on sunday and
we are going to work with them this week. the only people we actually
met up with successfully was the members. ha. o man. we are going to
ask for my references.
o but guess what? we were walking past this
restaurant, and we started talking to this lady. and then an old guy
came up and started talking to us too. i did not understand a single
word that he said. and i dont think my companion understood him either.
he was missing some teeth, and looked a little crazy. but he was
realllllyy funny. so after he talked to us, he turned around and
started talking to the cats that were sitting in the shade. o man i
just want to be that guy´s friend. he was really funny.
hey! someone threw fruit at us this week. crazy.
luckily, they missed. o ya and they call me choca or chocita. i dont
know if it is an insult or just another name for gringa (american)
okay so ya, we ate some bad chicken this week and i got another
cold. so we were out for the count on saturday, but its okay. we are
doing alot better now. o ya and our neighbors were moving out, so they
had a party from midnight to six in the morning... ahhh o my goodness.
what a crazy weekend.
okay so ya, i have gotta go. i hope that everything is going great. good luck this week.
hermana milne.
