Falls, Rats, Bats and Chickens!

Snow!? That sounds absolutely heavenly! It hasnt been as hot here, so thats been lovely. I mean don't get me wrong I still sweat a lot, but it is a bit cooler. Your life isnt boring, I love reading your emails! Im the one who does the same thing everyday! Thanks for the address!
Yeah we had changes this week, and so at the beginning, President told us that our trainers would be Nortes and then after that till the end of our missions we would have Latinas, well everyone did, except me! Im with another Norte! I am really excited, From what I have observed from the past few days I really like her. She is a really good missionary. She is from California and she graduated from BYU Hawaii in Pyschology. Both her parents are from Guatemala.
I'm sorry to hear about your toubles at work but Im sure itll all work out for the best. Danielle sent me some pics, you all look so happy! It makes me so happy!
OH MY GOODNESS! That is super generous of everyone! That is definitly a testament to paying tithing, just do it! I wish some of the people here better understood that princple...ok yeah I guess ill just have to try to teach that better.
Ok I will try to keep good details in my journal but I dont know if we have a book quite yet! I'm glad people still remember me! I got letters the other day from some people in the ward, like the Bishop and Elder Gomm and Sister Whalen.  If I sent return letter to you, could you give it to them please? Elder Gomm says you feed him lovely dinners! I also got delicious cookies from the Blackhams, they are all so sweet.
I'm glad to here Chad´s birthday was fun, except for the whole thing about Danielle´s arm! I hope it doesn't hurt too bad....she should just go stick her arm in the snow!
So every morning my comp and I would go run and so this Tuesday I am all running and then I fall and I fell hard, I dont know what happened, I guess I tripped on a rock or something, but I tore up my knees, elbow, and palms. It probably looked really funny! I walked home with blood going down my legs! I just find it funny, that after I usually run, the people here come up and are shocked and worry and say something about my face being red and that I am sweating, but when I have blood everywhere they just pass and look like they have no idea what to do, and just ignore it.
On the day we had changes, my comp could zip her suitcase because the zipper was broken, so I had the brillant Idea to duct tape it closed with my beautiful, colorful tape! Guess what! It worked! It took all my tape to do it, but it worked!
Last week we had FHE with a family and in the middle of it we heard this scratching noise above us and then all of a sudden a rat fell from their roof. Everyone was like oh a rat, but I couldn't contain myself, I started cracking up! I was laughing so hard, like what the heck? Where am I? But yeah it rains rats here sometimes while your discussing the gospel, or a chicken jumps on your lap, or a bat flies into your arm...yeah that all happened to me this week! It keeps life interesting!
But yeah thats about it! The work is good, we are hoping for a baptism this Saturday, we just need permision from the parents, it's finding them together is the problem. But we are maybe going to teach an english class to try to find investigators and we are planning an activity in our ward so thatll be fun!
I love you so much! Hope you have a good week.
Em
