Loving Flower Mound!!!

MAMMA!!!

 ok soooooo first off, let me tell you all about my new area. (and i am NOT exxagerating about any of what im about to tell you). IT IS THE NICEST AREA I HAVE EVER SEEN/BEEN IN/ HEARD OF!!!!!!! it is so beautiful!!oh so many facts to tell you. First off, in church....there was not a SINGLE member that brought regular scriptures...they were all on ipads. second, they ALL drive like lexus's and super nice cars...way different than Waco for sure!!l theres no regular mini vans or ANYTHING like that. it is SOOOOOO rediculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!! third off, the members have so much money they dont know what to do with it. theres a member who brought us over to her house on Friday and had us do what we justified as a "service project". what it REALLY was....we went through ALL her stuff and her daughters stuff and we took what we wanted. it was "cleaning and organizing" for her hahah she's awesome! soooo i got a TON of clothes (some of which still had price tags on) and juicy couture perfume and jewlery and hair products. its crazy!!. There is not a single one story house that i've seen so far. ALL of them are million dollar homes. Every one has designer everything! ITS INSANE!!! oh, and guess what else. Sister Fierro......she took us grocery shopping this morning and guess what!!! SHE PAID FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!! both mine and sister cunningham (new comp. more on her later) food. she told us to get what we needed for the week and then get what we needed for the month. sooooo we dont need food for a while. she made sure that we got PLENTY of food.  we were literally starving in my last area where the members did not feed us at all and we barely had enough food, and now this!  such a blessing, i tell you!!  my apartment complex is SO nice. theres a HUGE gym. HUGE gym. 

THERES A BAHAMA BUCKS HERE TOO!!!! the only thing that makes this area not PERFECT is that there is literally NO hispanics here. the population is 97% cacasion. Soooo its a little hard to speak my spanish BUT guess what!!! Like a ton of people in our wards (we cover 2) served spanish speaking missions or lives in Chili/Argentina for a little while. Sooooo its awesome!! so i DO get to speak my spanish! Theres a few hispanic people around here, but they all speak english. But once i see that they're hispanic, i just immediatly start speaking to them in spanish, and of course they respond in spanish so i do get to use my spanish quite a bit actually. and i call my spanish elders in Lewsiville and i get to talk with them (they're the closest spanish so they let me talk with them at nights). But this area is SO nice. SO SO NICE. 

Ok, so a little about Sister cunningham. She's from Colorado and she's almost 23. She's been out for 9 months, so only one more month than me. She's cool and i really like her, we get along really good.  im happy!  i was so stressed about leaving where i was so happy, but i am super happy here too!! 

OH! GET THIS!!!  there are 3 people in my ward that use to live in Yorba Linda. (within the last 5 years, so somewhat recently) i cant remember names right now, so i'll double check but i didnt know them but its fun to talk about home with them hahaha One of them was talking about Pres Burnett and how amazing he is and i oh so proudly told her that he's my GUY and my home teacher and he's one of the best men that i know! i dont remember who tho, but i will get her name and you can tell him, he will laugh about the "kingdom"....hahahhah!   

GET THIS!!  last week, there was a car accident and we pulled over so i got out to help, and GUESS WHAT! one of the ladies didnt speak english! So i got to do my full assment in spanish!! It was awesome! the only word i didnt know was "neck". But other than that, i did it! She's fine and didnt go to the hospital but it was cool to do that. AMAZING NEWS!!!!! its cold now!!! i actually have taken out my winter coat and worn it the last 3 days! and its rainy!! But the heat is finally looking like its going away! Buuuuuttttttt, its gonna get dang cold they said. They said because of the humidity and stuff, the cold feels like it just pierces through your jackets. bummer, cause im ALWAYS cold anyways, but its better than 112 degrees!! 

i love you!!!
