!HOLA!

Family!!!

I haven't read your emails yet I am going to print them and then read after...so I'll probly have time to write a letter or two later today and I'll reply to those there. Also I have a small request...I haven't gotten any mail yet...can someone write me a letter?! It can be small but it would be really nice to get a letter during the week...you can even still dearelder it just costs the price of the stamp now. Maybe you have written and it hasn't got here :) Oh mom tell Robbie I did get his letter...that Burbank address is the new address...So we cover two areas North Hollywood and Burbank....we were living in Northhollywood with 2 other hermanas but they moved us so we live in the Burbank area where we have our own apt (which is a safer and nicer area:)). Its sad to not be with the hermanas but I think we are more focused when it is just us. So ya the burbank address is the right one! maybe these are answered in the email but..How is everyone doing?! Did we hear about Todd this week? Is tate doign any bball this summer up in iderho? the pics are so cute...i was wondering if you could send an actual pic or two of the fam if you get a chance that i could carry in my scriptures because a few investigators have asked and it would be fun to show them. What is dal doing for work? What are you doing for the fourth of july? mom are you taking anymore classes?I love you guys and miss you lots! I get soo excited to emial on pday! Thanks for emialing me!!!

So this week wo don't even know what to say! I am so excited for Dal to be on his mish because it is just amazing to be a missionary! My favorite part about being a missionary so far has actually been when we have been with the recent converts or less active members in our ward. I feel so priveleged because people really open up and share what is really in their heart. What I have learned is when we prepare we have the spirit with us and when we have the spirit with us the Lord really does work through us. Like last night we had dinner with a recent convert member and we were going to share a a missionary scripture about praying for others who don't know the truth yet. Then this woman started crying and telling us about how hard it has been for her lately because her husband isn't a member and she really wants her whole family to be in the gospel. (ok so i don't really know what people are saying but something cool about not understanding is I can really feel when the spirit is there strong, and it is usually when people are talking about somethign that is really important to them) It is just cool to be there when people really open up and I just feel for them and want to help them. It was cool last night because I didn't know what this lady was saying her problem was but she was crying and talking about her family and I was just praying in my heart to have Heavenly Father help me know what to testify of or what to share with this woman. I thought of a scripture DyC 101:16 and when there was a break I showed it to her. It was cool because afterwards when we were walking to the car Hma prince was like that was awesome Hermana you understood what was going on that time and that scripture was perfect! Haha I told her I had no idea what was going on! But it was just such a faith building experience and confidence builder to for me because I am always nervous to say things in emotional situations like that because what if what I'm thinking is way off because I don't really know what they're saying. Then right after that we had a half an hour before we had to be somewhere so we thought about what we should do. We decided to go by this other ward member who we hadn't seen at church...it was amazing because on the way to the members house on the same street is a recent convert family and the dad was outside...immediately when we saw him we both thought, Oh maybe that is why we are over here. We stopped and talked to him and found out his brother had just passed away. We went inside and found out that actually their grandma had passed away 3 weeks earlier so they were struggling financially trying to pay for both funerals etc. It was so cool! We were able to share some of the plan of salvation and they had some questions on their mind! I just love being on the Lord's errand! And it is just amazing to me we rarely do what we have planned haha because we always run into someone else and realize that is who the Lord needs us to be with at that time.

The best person we met contacting this week was Claire! She is an atheist Yogi...that means she is hard core into yoga haha. She wouldn't open the screen door and wasn't that receptive to our message but it was hilarious because she did some intense yoga poses for us, and she showed us some pictures of her doing really hard yoga poses on her phone. It was hilarious! Oh we had our mission conference or something i dont' know what its called but the last one with pres and sister martin...which was really really inspiring! And really sad to say goodbye to them. I saw Elder Vance there! My favorite miracle this week was remember that apt i told you we got into last week cause the gate was locked? So he wasn't home last week so we went back and we went up to the gate and turned the knob...and it opened! Haha we both looked at each other and were like were you praying? Me too! haha it was so cool...when we left I turned around to just see and it was locked. Isn't that cool?!

Last night we went to help at a fireside in an english stake...it was weird to be around so many white people haha it is definately a different culture. I know I haven't been here that long but last night I was wishing we were with our spanish stake. I don't know everything about their culture but I feel connected to it haha and I love and admire how loving and accepting they are. They hug you and welcome you right when they see you. And they are all so very understanding about learning spanish. Hma Prince is a great companion! She is helping me a lot. Her spanish is super good and she has a lot of respect with our members and people we meet because of it. I love being her compaion because she makes missionary work fun, she really enjoys being with people and uses her personality in everything we do. I am learning a lot from her. She also is soo patient. I am still kind of struggling remembering everything...haha but she doesn't get annoyed repeating everything.

Love you guys sooo much! thank you for praying for me and for all yoru support! Love you
