Hey! I love getting your emails. It´s one of my favorite things. I´m glad to hear everything is going well. That´s scary about Chris but I´m glad he´s okay! I am sad I couldn´t be there in Idaho. It would have been great to see my new cousins. They will be so much older when I finally get to see them but that´s okay. Before I forget, will you put Sister Lundquist on the email list if you haven´t already? She dear eldered me and I absolutely love what she wrote. She gave me some of the best quotes and they were just what I needed to hear at that time. Also will you finish my present for Lacey if you haven´t already? I just realized her wedding is next weekend! And I kind of had a panic attack about it. Thank you for everything :) And tell Grandma Lucy I really loved her letter! And if you can, send me pictures of the family. I can't believe I dont have any of just us. I would really like to get some. This week has been good. Holy cow! Yesterday I left the CCM for 3 hours and tracted around Guatemala with my Latina Companions! It was scary at first but it was cool. I still don´t understand half of what people say so I didn't talk a ton but I did bear my testimony. Haha my few short sentences of it anyways. It was a very cool experience. We talked to about 10 people, gave out 1 Book of Mormon and got 4 addresses. People are so receptive here. I just hope it wasn't because I was with Latinas. They really did save me. In 3 weeks we do this again but I am with Hermana Anderson. I really need to work on my Spanish or else we are doomed! But yesterday was awesome. We were supposed to go to the Plaza but we couldn't becasue of some political thing going on and I guess it was too dangerous for us. So we contacted in the streets. It was crazy. ALthough I didnt understand a lot, I could still feel the Spirit as my companions spoke. I am really excited to be able to speak in this language! I did talk to one of the people in English. That was weird. I thought it would be easier to share my testimony with him but it wasn't. I like sharing it in Spanish a lot more! We were about 2 hours into it and it started pouring! We all got so wet but I guess it was a good experience because that is how its going to be! It was pretty funny because there were 2 of us huddled under my tiny umberella! We could barely fit! But it was definitely an enjoyable experience. One thing I am loving is that they are definitely using my piano abilities. I am playing the EFY medley in church this Sunday. The choir is singing in Spanish too! And next week, I think I am playing a duet with another Hermana who is playing on the violin. And tonight I am accompaining Hermana Spencer to How great thou art. So I love that I get to play so much! I didn't realize how much I missed it until I started playing again. Other than that everything is going awesome. I am improving in Spanish step by step but I am still improving. It's hard but I can tell that I am getting better. I have to be because in 3 weeks I will be out in the field in Honduras! It's a lot sooner that I realized! And next week, the new set of Latinos and North American missionaries will be coming in. I will be apart of the old north americans. And while they are coming in, we get to go to a mall and the market and just wonder around! I am so excited. Anyways I hope everything is good! Tell Bren I want to hear about EFY. And tell the other kids I would just like to hear from them. I'm not sure what else to say. There's so much that goes on but it's so hard to write about all of it in 30 minutes! Our teaching is going great. We sometimes struggle but it's definintley improving. I like being here so much more than Provo. I loved it there but I love the atmosphere here. I love my Latina companions and I'm sad that they are leaving soon but they've been great and have helped me so much with learning how to speak and how to make sense. They will do great in teh mission field. One is going to El Salvador and the other is staying here. I love the devotionals we have here. They are all old MTC ones but they have been good. I just like the constant reminder that I am doing something that will change people's lives. It's pretty awesome. I love the CCM president and his wife. His wife is adorable. I just love it here. Anyways I have to go. 30 minutes is over way too fast but I love you and I might try to send a card tonight. I love and miss you all! Tell everyone hi for me! Thanks for your prayers and your support!
