Mom and other people,
Yeah it would be great to have a washer, but I have been
washing clothes our of a bucket for the past year also so anything goes really.
Yeah HW totally wants to room with us! She is deciding between UVU and BYU.
UGH se me hizo tarde otra vez hoy y no voy a tener tanto
tiempo para escribirles [I'm late again today so I don't have much time to write you]. BUT I told HW to send me her email that she sent to
her family so I can borrow chunks of it and everything will be a lot faster. Hahaha we're so sneaky:)
[The following is her hijacked email that HW wrote] Sooooo H Williams and I are back to being two instead of three.. again! Hermana C only ended up
staying with us until Tuesday afternoon but it was fun being her companion
while it lasted. On Tuesday we had leadership conference with President Garcia! We focused on Mexico's area plan for 2015 and how we can apply it to our lives
as missionaries, the members and others that we are teaching. The blessings of
the plan are really specific and the goal is to help everyone be more spiritually
and temporally self sufficient. I think that's how you say it in English at
least hahaha.

Also I realized this week how
thankful I am to have a temple so close to where I am right now. The temple is
like 20 minutes away from Chichen and we were able to go on a few tours of the
temple this week with our investigators. Manuel took his daughter Fatima, his
grandkids and our other investigators Manuela, Rosi and her two kids in his van
all the way to the temple. we got there and all get out and everyone got quiet
and could immediately feel the spirit of the temple. We went inside the waiting
room and had a really cool lesson about family history and temple work. Everyone got really excited about family history and Manuel shared his
testimony about the temple and how it has helped him. He is the sweetest! When
we were leaving the temple Pres Garcia (President Garcia's brother who is
the temple president) came out all dressed in white and Manuela (who is like
60) went up to him and gave him a hug without saying anything and while we were
walking back to the car she said "this truly is like Heaven on earth"
it was so cute.
Also today HW and I were doing our own family history and I discovered that there are like 23
temple ordinances available to be done on Dad's side, and I am going to try to
take them to the temple next time the mission let's us go!!! I appreciate it so
much more that we are actually allowed to go inside now and everything:)
"Us in the house. Its casual Friday so that's why I am wearing
flip flops.
Just kidding, casual Friday does not exist in the mission..."
Other great news, Rosi (the
mom of Roger Rosi, don't get confused, there are two Rosis we are teaching right
now..) is back home and progressing again! YES! She left our area to live with
her other daughter for a couple weeks and everything kind of got put on hold
but she came to church this week so it's all good. In the spirit of Valentine's
day we are currently playing cupid and devising a brilliant plan to get
together Rosi with our recent convert Manuel!! They are both widowed and
looking for a companion, and about the same age!!! And they both like to talk
a lot and live with one of their daughters in our area...... So we'lI see how
that goes am so excited! Also we have another super cute 18 year old
investigator named Mishel. she is so sweet and she is so involved with all of
the activities in the church and she is reading the Book of Mormon and praying
and doing everything that she should be doing but she doesn't have a baptismal
date yet. We are hoping that really soon she will accept! I will send pictures
of her next week, The tips of her hair are green!
"Emmanuel invited us to his house for lunch. Chicken and green
spaghetti:)"
Ok well that's all folks. I gotta go now, love you all!
