hiiiiiiiiiii

happy pappy's day, pops!!! and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to the papás!! 36 years is something to be quiiiite proud of, parents. way to go! idaho! (toy story)

soooooooooo i have my new compy. dun. dun. dunnnnnnnn.

and i LOVE HER. yayyy!!!! i loved my old compy hna. carazas. but im realizing so many things that i didnt love about her, too. hahahaha oops! but my new comp is from Bolivia, La Paz and her name is Hna. Callejas. she is real real great. we have shared about our lives and such with each other and she is a really beautiful person and she likes to have fun and enjoy the time on the mission. and she is so GREAT with people. you guys--sister missionaries can be pretty weird and socially handicapped at times. but not my new compy!! yayyy!! it is sooooo enjoyable and non stressfull to talk with her with da people in da streetz. and she told me, "hna fleming. im really taking advantage of this time having you as my companion because everyone wants to talk with us because youre gringa." hahhahaha oh man. personally, that is what scares me most about talking to people. like yesterday, we were teaching this man, probs 50-something. and first he complemented me on my eyes. and then he went on to casually mention that he was single. and then he went on to ask if i was single. and then he went on to ask if as missionaries we had to remain single. and then he went on to say that, well, we never know what the future holds for us, right?

ew. and double ew.

but also, hahhahahahaa. freaking hombres aqui. thankfully my compy recognizes that these are little creepy creeps around here that just because your white think that it is normal to confess their love to you???? that is something i will never understand.

so this week we met with fernando isaac again. yes, he's back! eeeeek!!! we committed him to be baptized this saturday, and our lesson with him was wayyyyyy good that we had. like i said, hna callejas has a way with people and she's super sincere. so im hoping we can get this man baptized.

sooooo i got news that my box is in the office of the mission and that i shoullllddd be receiving it this wednesday. and you know what that means??? NO MORE LICE. i hope i hope i hope. but my poor little companion i think has it. uh oh. sorry.

also, my companion was studying food( i forgot what that major is called. but in spanish it is gastronomia. hahhaa when she first told me, i thought it was about outer space. hahhaha) before the mission, and she wants to coook yummy things for me all the time! but also, oh no! im going to get fatty. oh well. what e'er.

what else, what else.

okay, so if you guys could do me a favor. could you pray for me to keep wanting to be obedient? the only downfall with this companion is that she is really relaxed about the rules sometimes. she has a way strong testimony, but there are some rules that for me are very important and for her, arent. anyway, she's had a sucky past of companions that have basically tried to condemn her. and i dont want to be that companion. sooooooooo....HELP. hahhaaha

also, can you pray that i dont die in an earthquake? supposedly lima is due to have a huge earthquake... like the huge one that comes every 100 years. i wasnt going to tell you guys because i didnt want to scare you. heh. but then i figured that hey, they can pray for my safety! yay! but also, this is also why i need to be obedient--b/c without that, bye bye protection.

anyway. this letter was probs really boring for you guys. so, sorry. and i dont have any photos today. i need to by an adapter to send my pics because the other one i used was of hna carazas.

anyway.

i love you and miss you all SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. thank you alllll for my wonderful letters! love, jilly pants
