Yeah can I just say that a ton has happened. And that I can't use caps
lock or exclamation points or question marks cause I don't know how to
work the computer here. So just imagine the emotions going through my
head.(Good thing Mom can edit these letters!!!)
Ok general conference was sick right? I mean seriously it was so
direct and choppin everybodys heads. Like come on young adults and
youth get it together. We were talkin about it today with the
secretaries and Hermana Wilkinson and we were like yeah they just gave
up on the parents now, cause they're almost dead. hahaha we are the
next ones. Which is crazyyyyyyyy. I honestly looooovvveeeddd it, and I
decided to actually write down the questions I had this time and I got
them all answered and more, so it was nice recieving a little bit of
revelation.
Somethings that happened this week, I'll just tell ya right now that
I am companionless. My comp went home this morning so I'm just chillin
with the presidents wife here in San Jose. We will see what happens,
I'm pretty sure I'll just be in a trio until transfers which are in a
week or so.
We did a service project at the beach with Karen, we re did her whole
house, I'm not even kidding, it was pretty much a flip that house kinda
moment, then she took us out to lunch on the beach. It was great. 3
cheers for service. woot woot.
After we got home that night, we made a phone call to our
investigators to check up on them, and they were like yeah don't worry,
we are all good here, but we have a question, when can we get
baptized. uhhhhhhh okkkaayyyy yeah you can get baptized real soon we
will help ya with that. It was honestly amazing. I love miracles.
We had a really dead day this week, and I was like wow this really
sucks, and I was like well what are we gonna do, we can talk to people
I guess, and I'm like trying to think how, and I saw a
huuuuuugggeeeeeee frog just chillin in the road, so I picked that
sucker up and we talked to people with it. hahaha it was sooooo funny,
and such a good idea. I loved it, everybody was freakin out. Don't
worry I wore plastic gloves haha
Ok, so a convert as of like 2 months, she's asking for money like
alllllll theeee timeeeee. and I'm like dude, that's not what we do.
We just found out that she is recieving money from 2 other churches.
And that she only got baptized cause the only way she could recieve
help was to be a member. I got sooooooo angryyyyyyy I was like are you
serioussss how can you just do that.... and that explains why she
hasn't came to church in about 3 weeks cause she's been at other
ones.... there goes your salvation maybe.
This same day, when we got home, I was like, I'm mad, and hungry, so
I'm makin pancakes. I was stirring everything in, and I cracked the
egg in, and it came out black, yes it was rotten, I looked at it first
and started screamin, theres a chickennnnnn but then it started
smelling and it was sooooooooooo nasty everybody just started gagging
and the whoooollllleeeee house smelled hahhha so you can imagine how
much more angry I really was. But I'm over it.
Conference we had a gringo room, where we watched it in English,
but the afternoon sessions we all had to sit in the secretaries office
cause the couple that had all the equipment watched it in their house,
it was awfullllllllll. soooo hot and so gross, and soooo slowwww. but
it was a good time, we learned a lot, and during Elder Zwicks message
about how Sariah was irrational, and all that stuff about women, the
elders thought it was thhhheeeee funniestttt thing everrrrrr,
hahahahah if you could only imagine 3 elders and 6 sisters... they got
a good talkin to. haha so funny.
Honestly I can't even tell you how spiritually uplifted and filled
I was with this conference. I learned soooooooooooooooooooooo much I
can't even explain, it all was just boom boom boom, take that Joce. And
I was like okkkkk I'm listening. I can't wait till it comes out in the
magazines so I can just read them over and over again.... haha oh and
Elder Amado, he's our area authority, and he's never spoke in English
with us, but during conference I couldn't understand his English, his
spanish is wayyy better, haha but it was a really good talk. and Elder
Bednars talk, sooooooo goood. and Elder Utchdorf..... ok, I'm done, I'm
sure ya'll know already, but its ok, I hope y'all enjoyed it as well.
my cousin Jakey told me in an email about a week ago, that I need to
find myself out here. not just help others, but as well as just
finding myself. I think I did this weekend, and it's been such a boost
for me to know who I am and what I'm suppose to be doing. I love it,
thank you for your inspiration Jake. love you.
I just wanna thank y'all for all the updates I've been getting. I
enjoy them, cause I won't be hangin on a ledge when I get home when
everything has changed. hahahaha like freakin Jamie gettin married...
what the crap. I thought that would never happen. hahahaha jk jk

from yall. thank you soooo much.
