Sup 'Murica

It's almost Independence Day in good ole USA and I'm chillin in Guat. but i LOVE IT, so don't worry. my only regret is that i don't have a red white and blue outfit to wear on the fourth. whatevs.

so I'll start off with a story that's one of the prouder moments of my life I'd say. so, we got a new batch of missionaries the other day.. and I'm staring at this girl cause she looks SO FAMILIAR. my friend who went to BYU tells me she worked at Jamba Juice at BYU.. DUH. so i go to talk to her and she's like.. don't tell me.. your name starts with a w.. mango-a-go-go and a cranberry orange muffin.. YES. success. so basically now everyone can be fully aware of how obsessed I am with jamba. its fine. 

SO since we got new people, a whole batch of missionaries left. sooo sad. you get so attached to people in just a couple weeks! my favorites were two of the latina hermanas, and even though we could hardly talk to each other, they were sooo amazing. so for my calling i have to choose the people to lead the music and stuff on Sundays and presidents wife usually doesn't like it when latinas do it because she says they cant lead.. but i ignored her.. and asked hermana lopez to lead haha. i helped her all week at night learn how to lead then at church i sat in the front and she followed me. haha then the night before she left she gave my this adorable bracelet that she made and said this whole long thing in Spanish.. don't know all of what she said but all i got was i love you and thanks for helping me and something about friends hahaha. the people here are SO genuine and kind and GIVING. for no reason at all. nothing like the people in America.. haha honestly. the kindest people I've ever met.

ahh P day again! finally got to leave the gates of the CCM and go into the town!! FREEDOM. so nuts! we finally got our cameras back and took tons of pictures so those will be coming in a few weeks! but we got to go to this market place that was SICK. it was 3 levels of food and clothes and jewelery and weapons and crazy stuff. haha Jackson, carter.. you would have died.. SO MANY CRAZY SWORDS. haha but we weren't allowed to buy them. i did get y'all a sick tie though so ill send it when i can.. and i got myself the coolest pants known to man. I'll send pictures of those too. except we don't have our cameras anymore so.. later. as sweet as town was it was way sketchy haha. we couldn't buy food on the street and you basically have to clutch your purse right next to you at all times.. and there were way sad homeless people everywhere, and the girls couldn't be alone.. hahahah but it was SWEET.  

so i have class like a five minute walk from the CCM now.. in this chapel place.. and since I'm outside more.. I HAVE SOME WEIRD NASTY BUG BITES. the bugs here look so weird. the other night.. there was this mutated nasty green grasshopper looking thing in my room.. but my Australian roommate caught it and threw it out the window. no worries. and speaking of walking far.. we have to walk through the DUMPING RAIN. like i honestly cant explain it. its like people are pouring people buckets of water on you.. I LOVE IT. but my feet get soaked! one time we didn't have umbrellas so we had to run back to the CCM in our dresses and stuff and I'm just laughing the whole time.. I'm running through Guatemala city in a dress.. like how random and awesome is my life.. haha. also walking to the chapel, we saw SO MANY little kids the other day!! all at the temple. and they just want to high five us and talk to us and stare at us because were "los misioneros" SO CUTE. i love them! and they help me with my Spanish haha.

so the other day my district did an English fast.. no English for a day.. SO DEPRESSING. haha nah not really.. you realize how much Spanish you really do know but also how much you DON'T. haha which is a lot! but we all stopped after dinner.. except this one girl.. and she yelled at me for speaking in English.. UGH. i usually just ignore her when she talks to me because if i talk to her it will probably turn into yelling at her.. so i just keep my mouth shut and pray for some Christlike love.. cause i need it. hahaha

uno mas story.. lost my food at lunch the other day and the whole cafeteria was laughing at me its fine. i literally could not find my food. like i had a tray.. and someone took it somehow and i was in a daze looking for it.. gosh. my life is so weird.

sometimes i like lay in bed at 10:15 on the weekends and wonder what everyone else is doing.. hahaha because I'm so POOPED and everyone is probs partying.. hahah i love 10:30 bedtime. its heaven.

soooo Spanish's is honestly coming along pretty well i think! haha i can teach lessons, and pray, and bear my testimony! its crazy. its way hard.. but the gift of tongues is so real.. and prayer is my best friend. haha honestly. the church is true the book is blue y'all. haha remember that God WANTS to hear from you, i KNOW it:) the book of Mormon is the bomb and answers every question imaginable. ahh i just love it here so much! still cant eat the bananas but i eat beans and chips for breakfast like a CHAMP.

LOVE YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH!

con mucho amor,
