I got all your emails today so that is awesome! Your
trip sounded amazing! I love the
pictures. So that is super funny about the homeless guy giving you
tickets haha. Holy lifetime memories right there! Aaaannndd you got to
take dad somewhere he has never been! HAHA the day has COME! Sounds
amazing! I am definitely wanting to go there. Especially after I heard
that you saw HUNDREDS of my favorite animal!!
I am fed by members probably 3 times a week! It is one
of my favorite parts of the week. It is just really fun to get to know
them, and they make really good authentic food and it is just fun. Like I
MADE MY FIRST TORTILLA. An Authentic Real Tortilla. Soo good. I am
writing the recipe down so it can be my new rice and soup when I am older!
We are watching general conference in our chapel! I am super
excited I made a paper count down chain haha.
My Spanish is getting better! I am still reading in
the LDM and I made another life bucket list item to read the Santa Biblia! In
Spanish that would be soo cool!! I get general gists of what people are
saying and I can say a lot but I freeze up a lot - shy symptoms and
different language and not knowing what to say battling in my brain.

People
like that I am learning Spanish. They always tell me that is really
cool. I am really lucky to be able to speak Spanish all the time though,
there is Spanish everywhere which is amazing!
So we are still doing a lot of tracting because we are still
trying to find interested people. I really am glad mom you sent me that advice.
Because I feel like we almost haven't been trying hard enough! So I will
totally share that! Study that! But ya I am having a good time
still. We are realizing that contacting is MUCH better than tracting so
we are riding our bikes more and talking to every person we see.
Seriously every person. I have probably met over 500 new people. So
many. And it is interesting to learn about them.
We met this Hindu man. He invited us right into his
house and told us about his life! He works for Toyota now. He
started washing cars when he got here and now he is their top quality
specialist mechanic. He went and got an award he had received and showed
us. I loved he was able to go so high up. He was also in an
arranged marriage and he showed us his prayer room! The idols were
beautiful and it just felt ancient. I thought it was super cool.
And then we got to share a little what we believed. Loved it.
We also met this guy walking around, and we talked to
him. He was like, "I went to your church once! Now I have food
storage!!" hahahaha. Go us! #survivors.
We also met a native American! So cool to learn about
religions and then share ours and ask questions.
One time we asked a guy if he had neighbors that spoke
Spanish and he was like no I am a hermit I don't really talk to my
neighbors. Hermana Skidmore was like "Hey want a card for our
website? Hermits love the internet!" hahahaa I thought it was so funny but
he still didn't want it.
Lots of people here speak Spanish. The people are
really nice, and so happy with like any situation. Super chill. We
were talking to this one lady at her door and we asked her if she had faith in
Jesus Christ and she was like ya come see. In her house was a wax figure
of Jesus on the cross. hahaha. Yep.
But this week was amazing because we found 3 different
families to teach in 2 days!!!!! wowowowowowow. I am so excited!
We don't really teach a lot of sit down lessons it is always
outside and random. So I am learning to improvise! Its Friday Preach the Gospel day, let’s get up and roll! On the fly BOM BOM BOM
(haha Book of Mormon)
Anyways it is going good!
Thanks for the emails and tell dad thanks too.
TELL EVERYONE HI for me.
