I'm Twenty Now!

Well.... I´m now twenty. thats kinda weird. I´m gettin old! Nah just kidding. 

I´m kinda way excited to talk to you guys. It'll be fun. So we were planning on calling around 8:00 my time. is that ok? If not, email me fast and tell me or if I´m not still on send a facebook message to Cleber and he will get the info to me! 

Hahaha the boots. what an adventure. We went to see if they could change the color and i wanted a different color of brown... they came out looking like Ronald Mcdonald. So heres what I´m gonna do, i´m gonna take them back and change them to black and give them to my companion because she doesn´t have any boots and she needs some but hers broke and I don´t think she has enough to buy new ones and plus i don´t want black lace ups because i´ll look like the police men here... but she likes that type of style because she is a karate girl hahaha soooo long story short i´m giving them to her because she isn´t going to survive without a pair because its soooooo cold on your legs!!! I´m just hoping one pair will last me haha because i wear them absolutely every day which was why i asked for another pair so that i could switch up and not just wear through one pair in a month or so. But I guess we will see! 

haha sorry if i say things that worry you. I guess i´m just honest. I know so many hermanas that never tell their family about any of their struggles or anything because they don´t want their families to worry so they just pretend like its just all super great all the time every second ..... I just prefer telling you about the week without worrying what anyone thinks. The truth is a mission is HARD. not because its hard to walk around all day and talk to people and get rejected and etc. I´m used to that and trying to improve everyday. Its mostly hard because I´m so dang hard on myself. And then I try not being so hard on myself but it doesn´t work haha. Its hard because i try soooo hard to be perfect and its just not possible, plus i didn´t realize how hard it would be to give up my house and habits. Not bad habits but habits like going to the temple. having time to sit down and think about life and stuff without feeling like there is something you should be doing. But the biggest thing is, even though it is really difficult for me it is WONDERFUL. Each time I have something else difficult to deal with its a pain but its soooo great because its always a new problem, meaning I´ve tackled the last thing and overcome it and then the Lord gives me a new one to tackle. So its just never gonna be easy but i´m happy and I can see that the Lord has given me this time to just break away my bad habits and many of my imperfections no matter how painful it is. So a mission is great. SO GREAT. I seriously love it, so don´t worry. I´ll probably keep saying things that worry you but the honest truth is i just don´t have time to think about how what i say will sound I just spit all the info out as fast as I can to get all I want written in time! 

Yep! my hair is LONG. Full of split ends which is gross but I´m not cutting it till I get home I´m just gonna let it grow. :)

So my birthday went well. Everyone said it was gonna pour rain so i didn´t do my hair.... it didn´t rain at all.... so i have lovely pics from my bday with my hair and makeup looking terrible.... or I guess just looking like a normal day in the mission haha. I was a bit sad during the first part of the day because I was pretty sure all of the members forgot and idk I just missed you all! I was like man i don´t even care about presents or anything i just want to see all the people i love! But it was good we visited a less active family and they made a little dinner and we ate and talked with them and then in the night time the hermanas wrapped all the package stuff with ensign pages and then we had papa johns! 

I was gonna go to hermana Altamirano´s sector to visit her today but I woke up with hooooorrrrible stomach pain and but I wanted to go anyway but finally after a few hours of studying I felt like i should call her and tell her I wasn´t going to be able to make it, so I called and told her that and seriously I hung up the phone and felt completely better.... super wierd! So yeah i ended up just organizing things and talking to hermana mckinley like a normal pday! We had an attack of bugs today.... there is a planter in our living room (bad idea but its been there for years) and one of the hermanas tried to clean out the old weeds there and all of these bugs came out!! it was disgusting. I felt like finally i was able to relate a little to Mals mission hahaha. 

I also got to go to the temple this week!!! So I guess its gonna be 8 months more till i can go..... I´m probably gonna die waiting that long. But it was the greatest thing ever going to the temple! We entered to see enrique receive his endowments and get sealed to his wife that passed away. It was the sweetest thing ever and i was SOOOOO happy to be in the temple again it just felt like I was at home. I love being able to just relax and feel the spirit and learn a ton at the same time! 

well i have to go now!

Bye!
