Whoooaaaaa Be unto you!

hey mamma!
Im glad that your labor day was good!  everything is great here and my finger is doing good. i can almost use it all the way but not quite yet. it doesnt hurt unless i bump it on something...so i try to avoid doing that haha other than that, health is good.  we had a member tell us the funniest joke, ready?  Such a cheesy mormon one...but its super funny. it goes like this

 

Q- What is Nephi's horse name?

A-Be unto you

Q- Whoooaaaaa Beuntoyou!

 

hahahahahahahahahahahah isnt that awesome?? Maybe you had to have heard it coming from a hispanic man with a thick mexican accent...but i almost died when i heard it. Theres some pretty dang funny jokes that i've heard...but they're all in spanish, so you wouldnt understand them...but stinkin funny if you know spanish! When i get home, Drew and i are gonna have to teach the fam some funny things to say. Im so excited to talk to Drew in spanish! Argentina has a wierd accent...so that will be weird to listen too, they pronouce some words completely differant than i will, but i'll be able to understand him, but when we're talking to each other, you will def be able to hear the difference. 

Nothing super profound happened this week, but it was a good week. WOW! something went down outside our apt last night at like ummm 10:45ish. There were SIRENS EVERYWHERE!!! and it was so funny because i was able to tell Hermana Shelton all the different kinds there were. There was 5 ambulances and 7 engines/trucks. I dont know what the heck went down because we were in bed and couldnt leave, but it was literally like 2 blocks away it was sooo dang close! and they were going off for like 15 min straight which is so unusual cause they dont usually put sirens on after 10 but anyways sooo...look up on the news for denton tx and see if you can see anything unusual happened. And then!!! THERE WAS A FIRE! same day haha oh man...yesterday was an amazing day haha i got to see so much stuff that reminded me of work. (which i do miss a lot) but i called 911 because we saw a fire and then i made hermana shelton park in the parking lot across the street so i could watch it. it was amazing!!  

make sure that your ward missionaries are fed! when that calender goes around, make sure that people sign up on there to feed them cause it stinks when you dont get dinners from members. I havent had a legit mexican dinner in forever! I miss my beans and rice and tortillas! Im so excited to come home and make legit legit mexican food for you. Denton is super super white washed mexicans so i get fed a ton of pasta when we do get dinners...its 85% of the time pasta. hopefully my next area is more hispanic!    We saw some legit long horned bulls this week, so i took pictures with them. its at night time, so the quality isnt amazing but you can still get the gist of it. 

Our investigator pool is EXTREMELY shallow right now...but it'll pick up. Transfers are coming up next week and 20 new missionaries are coming in...so Pres is streessssiinnggggg so much that even i might have to train...and im trippin about that. we have 2 native spanish sisters coming in, and if it all goes according to plan and both come to texas, i'll be one of the trainers. and i am so not ready for that! my spanish is no bueno but good news is that she'll be a native, so her spanish will be PERFECTO!

OH OH OH!!!!! the other day we were out tracting and GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!! THERE WAS A MIRICALE THAT TOOK PLACE!!!!! now that you're probably thinking its some super awesome person thats ready to get baptized...you're wrng! hahaha I GOT TO PET A WESTIE!!! oh she reminded me so much of my little baby!!! Thats it, thats the miricale. The lady wanted nothing to do with the church, but she was so polite and let me pet her puppy haha Ok welp, i think thats about all i got for this week. Tell all the family that i say hi and that i miss them all! 

Ok...well have a great week!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!
