maan A LOT has happened. FIRST AND FOREMOST. drum rollll everybody..... really i'm serious.. tap your fingers on your desk.. or iphone.. whichever you use. ANDRES GOT BAPTIZED AND IT WAS THE BEST DAY EVER! good golly. he is amazing. he absolutely changed his life and i just KNOW that he is going to continue to change and one day soooon get to the temple with his wife! he has completely let the gospel change the way he is, the way he looks at life, and even the look in his eyes. i LOVE this work. his baptism was amazing. me and hermana scott and hermana bernards sang ''Abide With Me, Tis Even Tide'' because it's his and his wife's favorite hymn and the whole family was crying. ahhhhh i love life. seriously, they are like my family. (mom, dad, carter, jackson.... still love y'all too. don't fret.)
welllllllll the day after his baptism.. we find out we have changes... dang. I LOVED MAXIMO JEREZ. best area ever. best ward ever. i made some BEST friends, seriously. but hey. we got to go to the new area together, hermana bernards and i. so that's good :) and we only went like 20 minutes away! so that's good. crazy thing is that now i've been in 3 areas in the same district in the past 6 months. i know for all y'all that haven't been on a mish that is russian.. but it's unheard of. sooo.. awkward. it basically means that i have been in 3 areas within 25 minutes of eachother in the past 6 months and our mission is like a good 15 hour drive long. who knows. what a life i have. it's an adventure :)
uhhhm.. what else. IT IS SO HOT RIGHT NOW. i've never been so close to chopping off the mop. someone stop me or i might do it.
NICARAGUA HAS BEANS IN A BAG. refried beans.. baggable style. like, you just squeeze them onto your chip and life is good. what more do you need?
so we are teaching this family, Norlan and Diana. they're real young. and Norlan. is KYLER SMITH. Nicaraguanized. hahahahaha seriously i die. he wears his pants all low with the boxers hanging out. super tall and skinny. kinda talks in a mumble. so chill about life. so someone tell Kyler that i love him and miss him and his twin is waiting for him in Managua.
OH MY GOSH GENERAL CONFERENCE WAS HEAVEN. i got to watch some of it in my beautiful native language of english and i died of happiness. UCHTDORF'S TALK CHANGED MY LIFE. serious. be grateful. and don't WAIT to be grateful. be grateful right now. JUST DO IT. nike. be grateful it's hot... (and that you're melting away in Nicaragua...) be grateful life is hard. be grateful for the rain, and don't wait to be grateful for until you see the rainbow. :) ahh. he's amazing. LIFE IS AMAZING. i seriously just realize here in the mission how much i treasure the words of the prophets. not very many people at alllll came to conference and i just realize how much i LOVE every word i hear at conference.
not that i'm not grateful for the heat.... i'm literally melting though. really. just to inform you all. MELTING.
it's a good thing McDonald's has coconut and chocolate McFlurrys and that i live 30 seconds from McDonald's.........
ohhhhhh TODAY! Alejandro, one of my FAVORITE PEOPLE EVER got baptized. it was awesome. we had been teaching him in Maximo Jerez, but we got permission to go back and see his baptism and to play soccer with the old ward after. SO FUN! he is amazing. he's just 15, but such a spiritual giant. he will be the BEST missionary one day and i will cry of happiness and proudness of my little ale-ale-jandro. (lady gaga reference for you guys.)
wellllllllll HEY! i love you guys alll soooo much! have an amazing week :)
