Hi  mom!

 

I did get the package! Thank you so much! You need to keep sending me stuff so that my zone knows you love me. Haha just kidding. We get mail whenever our zone leaders go to the office which is at least every Monday and Wednesday, but they also sometimes go on other random days of the week if they have a meeting or need to get supplies. On Friday night I got an envelope with a million thank you notes (yes, I counted) from women in our ward. Tell them thank you from me! I really appreciate them. Also tell them to be thankful for the ward they are in because the ward I'm in right now is SO dysfunctional! They all mean well and have amazing testimonies but because almost all of them are converts they don't quite know how to do the not spiritual stuff. I think I'm up to 6 unofficial callings now. Haha it's a party.

 

I'm glad you liked my letters! I love each of you a whole lot. Good, good, and good. Make sure to remind them that I am the most important member of the family while their minds are still young and impressionable. My mission is chill! And I know that his would be too because he's smart enough to not take things personally. He would be such a hard working missionary too! Charles has still not written me!

 

Mine and my companion's relationship gets better every week. We're still not to the point where we break out into "L! is for the way..." every time we try to have companionship inventory, like with my last companion but we have gotten to the "I'm about to tell you something that I've never told anyone" phase. So that's grand. The other day one of the Elders asked us, "Do you guys EVER fight?" We looked at each other both trying to think of a time where we had fought, but we couldn't think of anything so we just said, "We're fighting right now... telepathically" And the best part of this story is that even though transfers is next week we know that we both won't be moved because training takes two transfers and that would be like a mother abandoning her baby before she was old enough to live on her own. Her mom's name is Kari so must be a different person.

 

Yeah that first family is the Garcias/Gomez. We visited them again last night. When we teach them the spirit is always really strong but we still haven't been able to get them to go back to church. And the other family is the familia Gomez. We are teaching them because their two daughters, 9 and 7, have not been baptized. We also have become really good friends. We sit with them at church and eat dinner at their house at least once a week. When we leave they always give us food to take home too. Their daughters are obsessed with us. Whenever we try to make a return appointment with their parents, they say "Tomorrow tomorrow!!" On Sunday Victoria asked her mom if we could have a sleepover because she didn't want us to leave. They're a really cool family. Her sister lives in Orem so you may get to meet them one day if we have a reunion. The love H and M and organic food so I think you would get along.

 

 Last week was hard. We helped set up for the funeral and then we sang during the funeral, so that took up most of Tuesday. I don't think I've ever seen a dead body before so that really bothered me. Both me and my companion have been having nightmares all week about her dying so we haven't been able to sleep.

 

We got a car! A Ford Fusion. It is very nice.

 

Love you!
