Mission Life

Well. It does sound like you had quite the week.To answer moms questions: My week was great. It really was. I think the hardest day now is Mondays. Because there is a conflict of excitement, sadness, hapiness, impatience, and a million other feelings. So good thing I only have 2 pdays left. :0 it sounds really wierd saying that. But its all good really I enjoy hearing about everything, it calms me down and freaks me out at the same time. But yeah I had a really good week. Im happy happy happy. Haha I told Hermana Clawson thanks for you guys. Haha she laughed. She is really good at keeping me focused. I couldnt be blessed with a better comp for this time of my mish seriously. Oh and her spanish is GREAT. I forget that she still isnt fluent because she talks great and understands a ton.  Whats new in the mission? Hmmmmm mom is this you asking me questions to try to distract me from thinking of home? Either way Ill answer that. Ummm lets see. Did I tell you about how we arent counting almost any of the key indicators anymore? (like how many lessons we have, etc) its new but its great because you worry so much more about what the Lord wants you to do and not how many lessons you have had. My comp and I have really been trying to pray more often even if it be off to the side of the street to know what God wants us to do, and we have really seen how he truly answers. How is it being one of the viejas? good actually. This week I went on two sets of divisions and it was interesting to see how much I was able to help people or give advice. sometimes I feel like I really dont know anything but then when someone else is struggling you realize that you really do know more than you think and you can really help people with that.

 Eva is serving a mission? Where is she going? 

Nate Sampson! Man I love that kid! I cant wait to see him, I was seriously thinking of him the week before you sent the pic of his homecoming. I cant wait till we are all back at BYU. Fun fun. 

Sam sam!!!!! WAY TO FREAKING GO GETTIN INTO THE U!!!!!!!! Im so proud that I wont even bug you about it not being byu. Wow, what a smarty pants, Im way excited for ya! I cant believe you will be starting COLLEGE THIS FALL. Goodness what has become of me and the time and everything. 

Hey. This is a happy bday shout out to some of the most important people in my life that are having birthdays(or have had them) this week, sorry I havent been able to write you each personally. Happy bday Mal (looks like you had fun!) Nik, Spencer (WOW the big 18!!!), and Carli (also 18!!!) Love you guys! 

Well Im sorry you can take this part out if you want but I was thinking about these things this weekand I could really use your help (especially mal and dad)

1st: dad, have you heard or seen anything as far as the internship goes?

2nd: I was praying about it this week and I think I need to either do the internship or studies, but something to get my studies/career stuff along. So Idk when the signups are, but mal will you look? And will you look at requirements, housing, scholarship stuff, anything like that because I just feel so lost but I dont want to miss any due dates if they are coming up in the next few weeks. And if I need to do an ecclesiastical endorsement with pres will you let me know?

3rd: remember how I sold my laptop and left the money in my bank account? Dad could you keep your eye out on KSL for a nice macbook and let me know or just buy one and let me know how much more I will owe you? (I trust your opinion waaaay more than mine, but I really like the macbook pros from the last few years and Id love to have a laptop when I get back or soon after :) :) ) 

Anyway. Thats it I think. I just was trying to pray about the plans I should make for afterwards and what God wanted me to do and these were the things that came to mind.... I promise Im not getting trunky. Hmmm. Depends on how you define the word but I promise Im doing my best to focus focus focus (I even took off all of the pics that I had of you guys on my wall because I started getting sad and didnt want Satan to be able to use that to tempt me or get me outta focus) 

Well to end I would just like to tell you guys about a little silly miracle that made our day. 

We were having a hard day, the sun was ridiculously hot, our appointments fell through and we were on the way to find someone else when we heard someone yell "SISTERS!!!!!" and these dude with bleached hair, a USA shirt (with dog hair all over it) a little kid bike painted camo and green with USA flags on it, an a US army cap on came riding over to where we were. He began to talk in very broken english and asked what he could do to help us. We were a little confused and told him we were fine and he said "NO! What can I do?" " Do you want Icecream or Soda?" my comp and I looked at each other really confused and before we could answer he ran into the shop on the corner and came out with two icecreams for each of us (we just stood there in shock) and then once we could talk we were able to get to know him more and find out that he was a less active in the ward next to us that the missionaries didnt know about, so we sent his reference and he hopped on his bike and rode away. I dont know how this guy who at first I thought was just a funny little man knew exactly how to help us when we were having a bad moment but I was really grateful. Im not gonna lie I kinda judged him when I first saw him but afterwards I realized that he was truyly an angel that God sent to us. It doesnt matter what you look like, where you come from, etc. god uses people to bless others in the strangest but most amazing ways. 

well I gotta go. Love you all!

Divisions this week

1st with hermana villalba. I love that girl. We had a great time. 

2nd with Hermana Burr (Natalie Mottos Roomate from BYU) she is from orem, went to THS and we had a great time talking about friends in common, byu, etc. Haha in the pic you can see my stylin watch.... the leather straps on grandmas watch broke this week :( so I attatched it with rubber bands. Now Im using a hair tie. It works though haha

I got a bloody nose in the middle of companionship inventory. It literally wouldnt stop for a half an hour, and it was coming out FAST. So while I let it bleed I told my comp about how much I loved her. Haha but at that point we couldnt take anything seriously so we got a pic (sorry if its gross) of the ridiculous mess it was.

On todays hike for pday. We went to the quebrada de macul again (I went once with hermana orton.)

 The dog that followed us through the whole 5 hours that we were hiking. We named him Spike.

Me on a rock..... spike followed me.
