Just to start this off right....
1) I think I know how the Latin American women enhance the apparent sizes of their butts!!!! No butt pockets!! hahaha

2) Mmmm I went to the bathroom on Sunday at Church, and there was a dead spider on the ground...THE SIZE OF A YOUNG CHILD¨S HAND!!! Good thing it was dead. haha tarantula? i dont know...¨

3)For Ellen--  I live on the dustiest trail I EVA SEEN!! In all senses. So, I am allerfgic to dogs and dust. Of course I live on a dirt road and the dust gets into the house even if the windows are closed. >We have to sweep like at least 1 a day and get piles every time. So then when I hit the dusty trail to go to work, I have to walk in a bunch of dust and pass six million dogs that live on the street. haha THEN, when I hit the dusty trail, sometimes the toilet doesn{t flush. hahahhaa whoops.

4) If I figure out how to upload pictures on the computer and you see them, dont be fooled, i literally live in a cloud. I live ABOVE  the clouds. Yes. ABOVE the clouds! Were only at like  9000 feet elevation here though  :)

5) Oh goodness. So last night it was sooo foggy because we live in a cloud... that when walking back home, you could only begin to somewhat see black figures which were people walking like 30 feet away. Ther dgos didnt like that... hahaha they were all barking at us and other people walking. It wasnt pleasant because some of the mcame up to us looking like they were going to bite us , but i was like (duh, God is awesome and He´s not going to let these dogs bite me! if they try, ill just smack em anyway :) )

6) While contacting on the street, I talked to a drunk guy and shared a message with Him. He was surprisingly appreciative of our words hahaha :) , it was weather for a light jacket, but because I was in utah, this is seriously nothing. I walk around probably looking like a weirdo because everyone is bundledup and i am walking around in a short sleeve shirt. So there i was, standing at the bus stop with my companion Hna. Calderon (she is awesome and has been here for 3 months, is from Guatemala and.....it like a whole head SHORTER THAN ME!! haha who thought this day would ever come?)   anyways there i was and I was actually kind of warm while everyone else was freezing and <i was like woooo it{s hot, but in spanish and this mom and her two kids turned around and started laughing and we like haha you¨re not from our country, huh? haha     then i told them who i was, why im here, and we shared a message with them and they were so happy  to hear it and wanted us to come by and share another message with them :) then, they had to go. we were just waiting for the bus and then to our surprise, the family came around the corner in a taxi and held us at gun point and told us to get in!    hahahhahaha no no no no no no they were like hey! my husband drives this taxi! this is my husband :) since were going to the same place, why dont you hop in and well take you there !   it was such a pleasant ride and <i am stoked to visit them and teach them. They are so nice, It was perfect because before we left the house, i prayed to find a family that was ready to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ :) bam.   we got to oiur meeting and found out that they didnt let us know that it was cancelled so there was no point in going over there, but I knnow it was definitely to meet that family :)

7) We went to visit our progressing investigators and invited them to be baptized on the 26th of OCtober. They said yes!! So we have Hna Ericka Zambrano and her husband Hno. Pablo   preparing for their baptisms on the 26 :D   soo happy for them!!   We also went to visit a girl who is less active. she is awesome. she was baptised when she was young, but then went inactive right after and she watched conference last week and told us that she felt the Spirit very strongly. She is so happy to be back and she has been coming to Church the past 2 weeks :)  We are now teaching her husband and getting them prepared to get married and then invite her boyfriend Hno. Carlos to be baptized. They are a darling little family :) After those two visits, I couldn{t explain it, but I just loved them. I have been sitting in the bus looking out the window just seeing and loving every person that I see :) I can{t explain it, but it is the best feeling!! 

Sooooooo many things have happened already. Great things!! :D anad the food is great. Not much seafood since were not on the coast :)  lotssss of rice!! haha

You know, I just want you to know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the Church that Jesus set up when He was here on the earth. I honestly have no doubts about that. None. I promise you that if you read the Book of Mormon, or part and pray and ask God with all sincerity of heart, to know if its true, the Lord will give you and answer through the Holy Ghost, because through the HOly ghost, we can know all things. ALL THINGS. You just have to pray and ask. I challenge you to read the last two paragraphs of the introduction of the Book of Mormon (at LEAST that) and then pray to know if its true, youll find out for yourself. The Spirit will let you know and how to know if its the Spirit? well Galatians 5:22 describes the fruits of the Spirit :)  then email me when you do it. <i know youll do it if you love me   ;)


welp times up. <i gotta go. We are going to visit Rosillo and her husband and invite him to bve baptized :)    i love htem. honestly love them. so happy!!
