10 monthsssssssssssssss


woooo!!
aint no holla back guuuurl aint no holla back guurrrll.
yikes. i dont know whyyyyy that song is always in my head when i begin my weekly emails to you guys. i think it is because i always think to start out with "holllahh!!!"  because im sooooooo excited to write. and then that song by the lead singer of no doubt(i cant remember her name...) comes into my head. or maybe it is sung by someone else? whatever. mabes you guys dont even know what im talking about. oh well.
so, as all of you have mentioned to me in your emails, the age of the missionaries. that is really cool, huh? i couldnt believe it. i was thinking, ohhh freaking. i wanted to go when i was 19. now i am going to return being 100 years old and ill neverrrrrrrrrrr get married. hahahahhaha i kid i kid!! im promise im not thinking desperate thoughts like that...heh heh. but handy and lia...i have to admit that it made me think of you guys quite a bit. when i first got out on the mission, i i have a journal entry that says, "i  would never wish a mission on anyone. it is just tooooo much time away from family" hhahhahahahahhahaa oh man. dramatic. but now, everything´s changed. if you guys feel that it is something you should do--and only youuuu will know-- serving a mission is really great. thats all i will say about that.
okay so yes, general conference was sooo great. and what made it even betterrrr is that our wonderful friend, Hector(and other investigators, too. but i am going to focus in on hector this email) came to it!!! it was sooooooooooo great!!! HE is so great. thank you for praying for him. we had a lesson with him this past week that one wwas one of the most spiritual of my whole mission. hector kept saying over and over again howwwwww great he felt and how everytime we are in his house, he feels soooo different and soo good and whole. and we explained that he is feeling the spirit. and he loves loves loves the book of mormon and he cried as he was telling us how great he felt and how he couldnt believe how strong the feeling was for him of the spirit. he is really tender and great. i really love him a whole lot.
also, this weekend is the baptism of Julia. i havent talked very much about her, but she is SOOOO wonderful. her daughter is member, and so she knows a lot about the church, and she owns a little corner store and we always go and visit her and she gives us delicious cookie and herb tea. YAY!! so if you guys could pray for her this week that everything follows through for her baptism, that wouldbe really grea.t
also, we were contacting, and a drunk started talking to us. normal. and when we were telling him goodbye, and he extended his hand for me to shake it, he pulled my hand up to his mouth, and did a medieval bowing thing, and kissed my hand.
help`. me.
okay. this is all for now my wondies. i love you all and miss you soooooooooo much!!!
love,
me
