The Ginger Sister

I GOT MY BIRTHDAY PACKAGE FINALLY... don't worry, it was stuck in customs. I had to go get body scanned and stuff and buy it back. its ok. its just the best package in the world. thanks for it. I love it a whole bunch!

annnyyywayyyssss. Tuesday we had a reunion with all the hermanas in the mission. It was so fun! and so good to see all my sistassss.

 I honestly have the best mission president and his wife. they are such a blessing. he gave us a talk of what a real woman is. Not a worldly one.  He shared the story of when Mary found out she was going to be the mother of Jesus. Those qualities she had, are those of what we should have. Always. Never should we fall for those worldly things, when we know what we have in this gospel. its pretty great right? I think so.

Wednesday we had a zone meeting. I freakin love my zone. they are so funny. but Elder Lundberg, my best friend, from AZ, gave a sick talk about missionary work, and the story of Nephi building a ship. I love that story. Then elder taylor, one of our zone leaders gave a talk about hope. he's awesome, and we are all hoping to work better with the members haha its tough out here. but its alright. President wants 200 baptisms the month of September, and the area 70 said its impossible. we are gonna prove him wrong. :) 

I'm excited. cause we just committed the dad of the bishop to baptism! And this little Nikol girly that should be translated right now. haha but honestly, Juan, he has seen the missionaries for like 13 years, and he was like, I'm always gonna remember the red head gringa and the Honduranian that changed my heart. wahhhhhh it was awesome. I was like, is this for real.... and then in one year, when he goes through the temple with his wifey when they're sealed, I'll be there. how awesome huh... Sept 1st is the date, I'm stoked.

We had a lesson with the Picado familia, they are members, but have sons who are inactive. and finally after like 5 years of Melvin not talking at all to the missionaries, we got him to listen, and even read a verse. it was mothers day here, sooooo he kinda was trapped. hahaha score.

So I'm living with a Sydney.... it's a mess here. If ya know what I mean. I love my comp, she asks SO MANY QUESTIONS. and I'm like, why do you want to know why I just took my hair out of my ponytail.... I still wonder what I'm doing living with a girl 24 7 for 18 months.... I'm breathing. I think.

I was sick again. I'm always sick here and its ridiculous. I tripped cause I couldn't pick up my feet. hahaha but I keep on going, and the members just hand me pills to take. So I'm being taken care of. haha its like, throwing up one day, body aches the next, sinus infection for a week, and a migraine. but I'm still goin. don't worry bout me! 

So Sunday we had HAIL durning church. yeah, like almost snow, hail. 

I'm not joking.... it was ridiculous, I was like, I don't think im in the Rica anymore... but then it was freakin hot today, so I was like, actually yeah I am. it's just bipolar.

 

Well the rain today was nice. just a river in the street. and it's like golf balls hitting ya in the face. refreshing.
