I learmed how to make food from Guatamala!!

Hi Mom!

this week was pretty funny. Soooooo, we went outside of our mission. major whoops! So here is what happened. We took an exchange with us that night and Hna. Snow put the address in the gps and as we were driving out there i noticed a BAHAMA BUCKS!!!! my favorite place :) well, i should have known right then that we were in Dallas because when i looked up were the nearest bahama bucks was to my apartment in Denton, the closest was Dallas. But, i just thought "oh hey, they built a new one since my gps!" but nooooooooo the gps was right. So, we just kept driving and diving. We decided that after we couldnt find the house we were origionally looking for, we would go to Bahama Bucks and get a little treat. We then ask what city we're in cause we were so lost and we thought for sure we were out of Denton, we just didnt know where. We thought we were just outside out zone, which is still a big deal but DEF not as big as leaving the mission. We then thought, well...we're already out, we might as well enjoy our bahama bucks. But, we later talked with the zone leaders and told us that we were in the Dallas mission and to get back immediantly. we didnt get in any trouble cause it was an accident but we were definantly told NOT to do it again. And, my companion and i decided to leave the part about bahama bucks out of the story hahahaha But, thats the funny story for the week.

 

So, in my package. yes, i got it. and thank you!!!  but the ONE AND ONLY thing i asked you for was a letter and noooooooot even a letter in the package you sent! what happened?? thank goodness for little Ella! She sent me THE CUTEST CARD EVER!!!!!!! she cute it out and it says "i Love (but as a heart) you!" and then inside she wrote a note about how she cant wait til i come home and then she inclosed the picture of us that we took at Kimi and Nates wedding. HOW CUTE!!! i'm gonna write her back today. my heart melted when i say that in the mail. she is SOOOOOO adorable!!! Anywayssssss. I will be looking for a letter from you in the mail. PLEASE WRITE ONE!!!! So, another funny story. Colin wrote me and said that he had a friend from BYU--I that moved to Denton (waaaaay small world) so, i talked with all the english elders and found out his address and then i went and visited him and his wife (they'e newly married, since jan.) and they are so sweet! She is gonna come out on exchanges with us now! (i'll have to translate for her cause she doesnt know any spanish). They wife was just gonna take a picture of us together and then send it to him after i left and say "look who i met"  

 

This past week i learmed how to make food from guatamala! it was good, but i still love mexican better. I eat WAY MORE food from Mexico than i do any other spanish country but thats cause there is way more mexicans here cause we're so close to mexico. for the most part i love any type of hispanic food. Of ourse, there is some exceptions but i love so much of it! I went online to desert book and got claudia a CTR ring. she wanted one and since she's getting baptized one her birthday, i wanted to get her one and give it to her. . SHE GONNA LOVE IT!!! 

 

Well, thats pretty much it for this week. know that Casey and I are proud of you and praying for you!!! I love you!!! be safe and read your scriptures!!! oh, and they changed the mission rules (for everyone) and we are now allowed to email family, friend and recent converts. So, if you could give hannah my email address, i'd love to get emails from her now!! and larry too (birchill) you can just write them a little email on facebook but could you please give those two my email so i can email them now? i dont have theirs so i need you to do that for me. do it right now so you dont forget!! thanks!! i love you!
