hi hi hi

howdyy howdy howdy--
yayyyy!! i got soooo many nice, long emails today. tank oo, tank oo.  i was ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh soooo happy to hear from you guys. you have nooooo idea. im going to try to attach some pics to the email, too, so im not sure if i willhave time to respond to each of you individually. but i will try, okay kum kwads? yayyy!!
well, the reununion of changes is tomorrow and happiiillly me and the compi are staying together one more change!!1 yyayayayyayyayayyy. she is my fave of all the comps i have had. also, this past week another sister missionary came and lived with us (only for this week) because she and her companion couldnt last for just one week more. yikes. it made me even moooorrre thankful for good ol hna. quispe.
speaking of hna. quispe, poor little thing...she tells me that i am ALWAYS talking in my sleep. hahhhaa loud and clear. in the 2 languages. hahahaha she can understand a little bit of english and so she tells me that when i am talking in english, she tries suuperr hard to understand. hahahhaa and when i talk in spanish, she always remembers what i have said so that she can tell me the next day. one thing i did this past week was that i yelled a prayer in spanish. hahahhahhaa oh man. how embarrassing. it made me wonder what i was dreaming that made me have to yell it?...haha.

okay, now on to the important things---JULIA WAS BAPTIZEDDDDD. thank you guys all sooooooooooooooo much for your prayers. ive never told you guys about julia becuase she has been investigating the church for more about 9 years, and we had had 2 different dates for baptism for her before  this one, and she had cancelled them because she is a superrrr busy lady. but 2 weeks ago, we had a reallllly good lesson with her and said frankly that a baptism date isnt something to play with because she would be making a covenant with God. so we put the date for the 12th, and she said yes. and then this past week, we were visiting her every day and reminding her of this past friday, and then on wednesday we went and we had been praying super super super hard that she wouldnt cancel, and when we went, on wed she said, you guys, im ready. im going to be baptized on friday. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! iw anted to cry. i almost did. hahahhaa she is just the greates little thing in the whole world. i really love her a whole lot. and she always knows when i have digestion problems...lucky her, she is one of the few people i have chosen to be completelyyyy open with hhahahahaha. soo, wooo!!!!!!
also, im attaching some pictures of a snail that we found, and my companions put it one my arm!!! ewwwwwwwww it felt sooooooo grosssssssssss. but then they told me that its slime is good for your skin. and then for some reason, i allowed it to stay on my arm long enough to take a pic with it. weird, huh?
also, the lady who does our laundry invites us to eat papa rellena sometimes and it is soooooooooooooooooo delicious. you guys should look it up and fix it because i love it sooooooooooo much. and i took pics of that, too.
and a picture of me and her son, Roman. he is mentally handicapped, and reminds me a lot of linda harris. he is reallllly great hahaha.
also, the sad part about changes is that my 3 favorite elders from the zone are getting changed. sadddddddd. but today i took some pictures with them to remember them. (one of them wasnt there because he had to go to a meeting. but his name is elder norriega).
and yeah. this is all for now. i am reallllly praying that the sun comes out soon. i am soooooooooooooooo tired of smoggy city air without sun or anythingggggggggggg. wahhhhhhh. oh yeah, and mom asked if i had hiked machu pichu, the mountain that they talked about in general conference. soooo iwanted to clarify.... as much as i love my mission, it is NOT a pretty place. my mission is only in the city and it is verrrry dirty. and machu pichu is verrrrry far away from me, and i will never get the chance to go there while i am a missionary. buuuttt there are still some cool little places that we can go to just outside of lima. phewwww! they save me.
okay, well i love you all soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!thanks for everything.
love,
me
