The Ginger Sister

I AM BAWLING

THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONEEEE for the birthday wishes. my email is still exploding!!! I freakin love you all!!! honestly, thank you so so much. I couldn't have enjoyed this internet time more!

I don't have a whole lot of time, but I read them all, but sorry if I didnt respond... which was to about 98 of the people out of 100. haha hopefully you all see this.

 Tomorrow I hope everyone is eating french toast for breakfast, olive garden for lunch, and smoked tri tip for dinner. cause I sure am not!!

anyways.... 

We went to the zoo today. you know how much I love them zoos. haha it was awful, but its good to be with my districts, our elders are hilarious. 

Funny story, we were talking to one lady about how nasty the world is now and she said, my mom use to tell us she´d kick us in the butt to heaven before we ever did something that would send us to hell. hahaha funny lady.

I am definitely learning a lesson from all those years I was a brat. sorry about that fambam. haha
but I honestly have more than I deserve. There are a lot of really poor people here and I feel so bad, because I am so so blessed.

I had a dream a couple nights ago that I went home. WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE... I'm staying here because I experienced hell in my dream. hahaha

So record, I've cried everyday for a month and I don't cry, a little emotional I think so!!

you can smell bad stuff in the air here... its nasssttt! its not illegal to smoke weed here, just to sell it, so there's a party on every corner. just sayin. 

WHOEVER TOLD ME I WOULD COME HOME SKINNY, LIED. 

I wish I could send pics of the place, but there are too many gangs around here. 

THE MEMBERS GIVE US TEA TO DRINK. ITS SO FUNNY!!!! hahaha im like, yup this is not the origional TANG the rest of the country gives us... hahaha

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TROY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Hey guess what, I eat like dad here. fast, sloppy, and don't taste the food. hahaha

We have an investigator who makes bread for a living. SCORE!!!!

I learned how to make empanadas today!! YOU ARE SO WELCOME FUTURE HUSBAND... or cats... whatever comes first in the next 5 years. hahah

We have a new family that we are teaching, and when we were ending a lesson, they were like, God is in our doorway, he opened our door for you, this is your purpose here. I like hearing that. 

We have a gringo old couple in our ward. the Lee family. they are amazing, and He reminds me of papa.... I started bawling when they asked me to say the prayer in english. and whenever he would talk to me I wanted to cry. I miss papa so much.... I know he is watching over me.

I told my comp how I feel, how I feel like she doesn't want to be my comp, and how she needs to talk to me more, and how we need to make our lessons more equal, and how she is rude... it worked, we are a lot better right now. I feel like I'm gonna be with her one more change till she leaves, but I'm ok with having a latino comp, it makes me learn spanish. haha 

Marylyn, a member works for comcast, she's one of those people that everybody gets mad at for not being able to speak english well. hahahah her english is coming though, so that gives me hope, but shes had 8 years of practice....

 
I wrote a letter to a member here, who reminds me of you, MOM. and her family reminds me of us. and she was crying, so I was crying.. hahaha 

We have a family of 6 adults that we are teaching, who have a problem with keeping their church attendance committments. We found one of them drunk in the street, and he told us that they are catholic because their  mom was and they don't wanna offend her dead spirit... ok. cool. thanks...

There was a couple from Utah at church yesterday, he served here, so that was good talking to his wife who knew zero spanish as well. hahah

wellllll, I think thats it for now!!! I can't send pics, but next week, I'll get them to ya!!

I MISS YOU ALL!!!

LOVE YOU!!!!!
