MY FAMILY!!
woo! i am so happy to e writing you this week. this week has been so great and can i jut say that i love being a missionary? you guys, it is sooo fun! as a missionary, i have permissin to go up and alk to anyone that looks interesting, and it isnt considered super weird--still a little weird, at time. haha. but i get to talk to people all the time about their lives and about something--the gospel--that will help them. what always surprises m the most is when we knock on someon´s doo that we dont know, and they let us in!! hahah im always like, what th? you dont even know us. haha oh mann..
anyway. i love being a missionary, and everyone should go on missions. or something. hah.
melyssa--me swears that i dint forget about your birthday last sunday. i just forgot to write you happy bday on email. im oh so sorry, but i hope your birthday was wondeful!
so something funny that happened the othe night--well funny and annoying-- was that one of our neighbos in the middle of the night started playing REALLY loud music. so i woke up, but was only like half-awake because it was the middle of the night. and then one of the songs was "like a virgin" by madona. hahha and my mind started singing along. i didnt even know i knew the words! but you know how when you know the words to a song, your mind hasssssss to sing a long? hahah oh man so just imagine little me in my little peruvian bed, trying to sleep and be a good little missionary, but singing a long to "like a virgin." hahaha
another funny thing that happened was that one of our investigators, nicolas hasn't wanted to hear from us because he saw some kind of anti-mormon documentary on tv. haha ok. thats not the funny part. he is 85 and just had an operation where he got all of his teeth taken out of his mouth, so he is temporarily toothless and has a lot of pain. but he is going to get new teeth. ANYWAY. thats not supposed to be the funny part either. the funny part issssss that yesterday we had lunch at his house because his daughter and son in law invited his for lunch(families live together for forever here, by the way), and when i walked into the house, i saw nicolas, and i was so excited to see him, that i just gave him like this huuuge hug. hahahah and then his daughter, olivia, was like, papa! she cant give hugs! but she didnt know that iiii was the one who had iniiated it. and then i was like, ohhhh yeah! im not supposed to hug men. woops! hahaha and then hna carazas(we are still comps) was like, what the? and i was afraid of her for a little bit. but it was all good. hahhaa and i dont regret it.
another thing is that hna c and i have this battle going on where we scare each other allll the time. only it is mostly her scraing me. and somehow, i ALWAYS get scared. how is it possible? everytime. EVERY. time. i am soooo scared. and i try to get her back so many times, but i never did...until this morning! wooooo!! por fin!! i got her goooooooood. and she hated it. mwahahaha!!!!
okay. now for missionary things that happened.
last sunday this girl came to church and came up to us and said, i want to be baptized. me and hna c were like, wh wh wh wh whaaaattt???? hhahahha she had a friend a few years back who was mormon, but then he left on a mission and she has been searching for the church off and on since because she had both of her parents die, and doesn have any siblings and she didnt want anything to do with god for a while. but then she realized that she neeedds him in her life. and she found the church. this is really terrible explanation, but hopefully you guys understand somewhat. anyway, her name is anabel, aand she is 28 and she speaks fluent english and teaches english to little kids. and she is just the greatest. her baptism is this friday. and she is basically already a member i feel. hahah she is just the greatest. in lessons, she soaks everything up and keeps all her commitments and reads the book of mormon and comes to chuch. she is just the greatest. and me and hna c are super close with her. we are really really great freinds!! i love her sooo muhc. and she has already accompanied us in on a lesson, and bore her testimony. isnt that just soooooooooo great???? i want you guys to be able to meet her. she is my fave. siiiiiighhhhhhh
there are others, too, but i just want to talk about her today. she is my fave.
i miss all of you, but the letters and emails help. YES--i receive letters. it takes a while--like a month--but i receive them. and YES. i can still receive dear elders...so keep em comin! and if you...i dont know...wanted to send a package or something...bhte best way and cheepest way is to send it in one o those yellow, bubble-lined envelopes. woo! and it gets here in like 1 week and a half. so they say. . .
okay, this is my email for this week! no pics this time. but probs next week. i love and miss you all SOOO much. thanks for my prayers!

me
