Good heavens I don't even know where to begin. slkdjfblaskjefaksje.
welll uhm i think this will be my last email of the mish. ugh. i'm struggling super hard to come to terms with that. WUT. IS. LIFE.
well i guess i will be normal for a sec before i go all sentimental on ya. plan? ok.
funnies of the week: well actually i just want y'all to know how much i LOVE my companion. straight gem. so grateful for her. we're just gonna dedicate the next few quotes to her.
Wheat: ''if i was Nicaraguan, i would sit on this porch in this rocking chair and drink frescos allll day.''
Gubler: ''if i was Nicaraguan, I would work my butt off so i could go to the United States and become American...'' HAHAHAHA.
*walking down the street. we stop to contact a family. then walk away*
Gubler: ''that was kinda weird.. they smelled like unbaked bread or yeast or something..''
Wheat: ''that's called beer, my dear.'' (yes i rhymed that in real life cause i'm that good.)
in other news i just wanted y'all to know that nicaraguan bats are downright suicidal. i had about 6 try to dive into my face this week.
me and hermana gubler spent 3 minutes of our lives chucking rocks at a massive coackroach on the side of the road until it finally died.
and DANIEL. the cutest nine year old on the face of the planet got baptized. his parents had been members nine years but were inactive until we helped them get back to churchhhhy. i love them with all of my heart and it was seriously SUCH a happy moment! one day they will get to the temple! ahhhh.
church on sundaaaay. we taught the 3rd hour lesson on Christmas and missionary work. (GO WATCH 'HE IS THE GIFT'. i'm obsessed.) and mom! we made a christmas box and made everyone put in what they were going to give to Christ this year. so cute :)
well guys. i'm just not grasping the fact that almost 18 months have passed since i got into this amazing country. this place has become a part of me that can't be erased and i'm so grateful for that.
let's take a nice trip down memory lane, shall we? REMEMBER WHEN...... i got chased by a drunk woman throwing rocks at me? finally learned spanish? made best friends with a monkey? got chased by a goat? got robbed at gunpoint? hiked a waterfall? fell in a hole and broke my foot? and had a pretty blue cast? got hug raped by a down sydrome nica kid? ate cow liver? got robbed AGAIN but stole my wallet back? went to the beach? washed my clothes on a rock? almost got washed away by a street that turned into a 3 foot deep river? fell into the mud? and fell in LOVE with missionary work? and this perfect gospel. and came to truly know that I AM A DAUGHTER OF GOD. and learned to love unconditionally. and watched God work miracles through my human hands. and learned that one person really CAN make a difference. and saw COUNTLESS lives change by people coming to know Christ, their Savior.
this truly has been the best 18 months of my life. and i would NOT change it for the world. I just want you guys to know that i really know, without any doubts, that Jesus Christ is our Savior. He died for us so that we can have eternal salvation. He suffered for us so that we can have a perfect friend who PERFECTLY comprehends us. HE LIVES. and loves us. God is our loving Heavenly Father. we ARE His children. He knows us perfectly, and personally. the power of prayer is real. miracles happen, they haven't ceased to exist. the plan of salvation is absolutely flawless. and it's called the plan of happiness because it really is the ONLY thing that brings us true happiness in this life. the Book of Mormon is the word of God. it can change lives. really and truly. families can be together FOREVER. forever. made possible only through ordinances in the Holy Temple. sharing the gospel is the most rewarding, life changing, and EASY thing we can do here on the earth. open your mouths. share your happiness! lives will change, including yours. the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints is the true church of Christ on the earth today. I've never been so sure :)
I LOVE YOU GUYS SOOOO MUCH! see you so so soon!
con amor, hermana wheaaaat
