Week 15

Hello hello hello.

How is everything going?  So we had transfers yesterday.  And i am staying here in Jaihuayco! I have one more transfer with my trainer, and then I dont know where i will go next.  It is crazy that our entire zone is going to change this week. 

O my goodness, i need to write this before i forget.  So my mission president has challenged the entire mission read the book of mormon in 90 days.  He has also invited our families to read the book of mormon this summer as well.  So if you want to be cool like me and read the entire book of mormon this summer. then ya your awesome.  it is about 8 pages a day for the spanish version of the BOM.  i am not sure about english.  someone can do the math for you guys.  i hope that you guys can do this with me.  of course i am reading in spanish, but you dont have to do that.  hahaha.  so ya this is your summer challenge.

This week was .... interesting.  I was a little sick, but i have medicine.  But the worse part is that i am on a white diet right now.  all i have eaten for like three days is crackers and plain chicken and white rice.... bleeegghhh.  white diet is not very good.  but then again i dont have much of an appetite anyways.  My comp got shin splints, and a part of her front tooth fell off on sunday... ahhh.  we did an emergency trip to the dentist, so it is all good.  i would just like to thank my parents for forcing me to brush and floss my teeth, and that they paid for my dental care throughout my life.  and i would like to give a shout out to my dentist and orthodontist also.  i am beginning to realize how important all of that was.... haha.  thank youuuuuu.  so ya... my advice of the week is to please take care of your teeth, becuase i am witnessing the consequences if you dont.  ha. 

so i have two things that i have observed that drive me crazy with worry, even though they really dont matter.  i dont know, i guess this is my dramatic side coming out.  So every sunday i go through the same thing.  we have to kiss cheeks with all of the women as a greeting.  but the problem is when i wear hackin glasses.  ugh they are just in the way.  i am afraid that i am going to poke someones eye out with my glasses.  woops sorry!!!! sister.  i guess it doesnt sound as awkward when i just tell you about it. and also.  at church, i have to make sure that my hands are completely dry after we wash our hands.  because i know that the moment i leave the bathroom, i will be shaking hands and attacking peoples faces with my glasses. because everyone is in the hallway of the church.  and i always think it is so awkward to shake hands when your hand is wet.  ughhhh.  hahaha it really doesnt matter, but ya.  that is what goes through my mind.  i am giving you permission to judge and laugh at my ridiculous worries.  haha. 

We had such a crazy saturday.  we helped clean the church, because a less active member died.  we helped clean for the funeral.  and then we had to run to a birthday party for a moment, and then we ran to a baptismal service.  and then we ran to a wedding.  our investigators got a civil marriage this weekend. it was totally awesome.  so a tradition here is that the guests sew money to the clothes of the bride and groom.  pretty cool eh?  and also everytime they dance or recieve a gift, they put a handful of confetti on eachothers heads. ahahah. awesome.  the confetti was everywhere, but it was a lot of fun.  i was the only one who brought a camera, so i ended up being the photographer for the evening of festivities.  ... okay cool.  what a day!  it was a lot of fun.  

We have a baptism scheduled for the 9th of June. i am so hackin excited.  our investigators are just the best in the world.  we have been visiting a lot of members and less actives, and they are so helpful and welcoming. i am just so glad that we are staying here for six more weeks.  the members are finally getting to know us.  well i hope that everything is going well at home.  congrats aubrey, for getting the lifeguarding job.  awesome!! hopefully i will see my zone leader, and hopefully he went to the mission office to pick up our mail, and hopefully he will actually give me my mail this week. hahaha.  o man.  well i love you!! good luck this week.
