HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE YOU,
KYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How are you doing?
Kyle! What are you going to do for your birthday???? I really honestly cannot
believe that it is SEPTEMBER! CRAZY.
This time next week,
I will officially have FIVE WHOLE MONTHS IN THE MISSION! Uhhhhhhhhhhh woah.....
how did that go by so slow and yet so fast at the same time??
How are you all
doing? What are you going to do for Kyle Boy's birthday??? I hope you guys do
something fun! Okay, is my brain messed up, or are you turning 20 KYLE??? That
blows my mind.
TELL ME ALL YOUR
STORIES!
I dont have too much
to talk about. This week, we worked really hard. We had a zone meeting this
past Tuesday, and our leaders wanted us to improve our numbers. So my comp and
I made it our goal to have 8 people with a baptismal date this week, and
contact 15 people each day! Woah. The norm of excelency for contacts is 10, but
we wanted to try and see if we could do it. So we literally were talking to
everyone on the street. At first, I was nervous.... but we ended up having a
lot of fun, and meeting some really cool people. We ended up contacting 70
people this week! Woah.... it was intense, but cool.
So Sundays we always
report our numbers, and we only had 5 with a baptismal date. We were a little
discouraged. We could not find anyone who was really prepared. So we prayed
right there on the street, asking for help to find people who really needed the
gospel. We only had an hour left before we needed to report numbers, but we
were determined to find those people who Heavenly Father had prepared. GUESS
WHAT? By that night, we had NINE PEOPLE WITH A FECHA! Oh my gosh.... it was so
cool. Two of them were people whose door we knocked! We were so happy. This
just proves to me that you can never give up your hope in the Lord. Just say a
prayer, and He will always be there to help you when you need
help....especially in this work.
Yeah... so we were
really happy yesterday. And we have a lot of people to teach this week.
What else is new????
Today, we ate french
toast for breakfast, and then played soccer as a zone. It was actually really
fun. I totally stink at soccer, but everyone is pretty nice and passes me the
ball every once in a while. hahaha
Also, I totally didnt
even know that today was Labor Day. HAPPY LABOR DAY! Hahahaha
Oh! I had another
interview with my president this week! He came up to Potosi for the first time,
and so he wanted to meet with everyone. Man, my president is a cool dude. And I
made the most ingenious connection after my interview! My mission president
looks almost EXACTLY like David Wallace from The Office! hahahaha I was
cracking up... my comp didnt get the joke.... but it is true. They could be
twins.... OH! It was also this crazy holiday in Potosi this past week. It was a
party all week. Everyone was dressed in their crazy clothes and they were all
dancing in the street. You should all look up pictures of Chutillos in Potosi,
and you will see what I saw this whole week. It was nuts.....
KAYLA! One of my
investigators is obsessed with BTR. It made me think of you when she was
telling me how much she likes James.
KYLE! I want you to
read D & C 31. PLEASE?
MOM! Yes, my first
sun burn on the mission. It hurts like a mother! But I am okay, I promise.
MOM! You should see
if they see NutriFiber in the states. It is my new favorite cereal. It looks
like dog food, but it is so good.
What else is new????
Oh. I have decided that I am either starving to death because I am so hungry,
or I am dying because I have to eat so much food. There is no middle ground. In
the mornings, I am so so hungry. But I cannot eat a lot because there are some
days when literally during EVERY APPOINTMENT THAT WE HAVE, they give us food.
My stomach sometimes cannot handle it! Hahahaha But I realize just how much of
a sacrifice it is for these people to give us their food, so I learned to be
grateful for every thing that they give me...even when my stomach is dying.
Hahahah Mom, literally one day, we ate so much rice that I wanted to explode. I
swear, we ate about 6 cups of rice..... .Oh my lanta.
I hope you are all
doing great! I am doing great! My pday is almost over, but I have time to read
some of your letters. Please tell everyone that I say hello! GIVE KYLE A BIG
HUG FOR ME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I love you all!
