im aliveeee!!!


happy belated birthday, lia!
no, my subject line shouldnt suggest that i escaped from a near death experience. hahahah but i didnt write you guys yesterday because we changed our pday to today because we went to the temple today...!!! and it isnt opened on mondays, soooooo, get it? i was soooooooooooooo happy to go to the temple today, too becausse i havent been in over 12 weeks!!!! so today is very good for that reason. and i ate burger king for lunch!!!! hahahhaa mabes that isnt very cool for you guys, but it always pulls me back to my american roots and makes me soooo happy. but also, i ate a whopper and it made me remember those days when i was 7 years old and dad bragged that i could eat 2 whoppers?? wha wha whaaattt?? i could barely finish one... how in the world...? and i stiiiiiill have the little belly that i gained with those 7 years of mine. but it was still enjoyable. also, dad, did i really eat 2 whoppers? that is prettttty gross. eeeek!! 
also, this day is really great because the sun is out!!!!!! you guys have nooo idea. it has been sooooo gloomy for the past like 2 months. sometimes i think i have that one thing called SADS. is that what it is called? where you are sad from no sun? i havent been sad, exactly. but there is a huuuuuuuuge change in my mood when the sun comes out. spring is finally here, so we shoullld be seeing more of my wonderful friend, mr. sunshine. (hahahhahaa that sounds like something mom would say, huh?)
also, as you may see in some of the fotos i am sending, i have chubby cheekssssssss. welp, thats what eating rice and potatoes and chicken will do for you after 9 months. 
9 months. can you guys believe that i will be home in 9 months????' someone should get pregnant so that we can have a countdown together. any takers??? no no no--hannah and lia. no.
ahhhhhhh. what else what else.
oh!! yeah. okay, so luis has a baptism date for this 30th of this month. PLEEEEEEZ pray for him. actually, please pray for everyonnnneeeeeeeee. me and my compy are working ohhhhh so hard. and i have never felt so vulnerable. some of these people i have realllllly grown to love. a lotttttttttttttttttt. and knowing them better and where they come from makes it even MORE important to me that they accept the gospel because i can see how much it could change their lives. so, any prayers from annnnnyyyone are GREATLY appreaciated. 

also, i have been wayyyy constipated. hahhaha thats pretty gross to say "wayyy" before that. hahaha. another thang that rice and potatoes does for ya. and i had to get a little capsule thing put "up up and away" (if you know what i mean) so that i coulld go to the bathroom. it was really uncomfortable. but...it worked. oops. sorry if that was too much hahahha.

allllsooo i am attaching a couple of pictures for you guys. the first one is of our current pensionista, Nelly. she is really great and makes really good food. buuuut....doesnt use veggies. 
the second one is of me with these cute little brother and sister, Emelyn and Brylan. they are suppperrrr poor, but super happy. this day with them brought food to their house and cooked with them and their mom and older brother and fried fish together. wooo!! twas quite fun. and emelyn fixed my hair. 
and the 3rd one is of me with Jeffrey and Sol Maria, who are also brother and sister. they are less active, but are sooooo great!!!! we had an fhe with them. jeffrey always comes to lessons with us and so we bought him a friendship bracelte and now him and me and my compy have matching ones. hahaha.

and the last one is of today with the zone, eating burger king. wooo!!!
