Herrmana Krueger A bit under the Weather!

So this week has been crazy! I left my first area and my comp and now I am opening another area close by and I am training! It´s a lot but I am excited. Our ward is small but friendly. I hope that we have a lot of success here! My comp is from Nicuagua and is super sweet! I am excited to work with here, she seems to already know what she is doing, she is just a little shy, just give her a bit of time and she will be a boss!

Im actually not feeling very well right now, but my zone leader is working on getting me drugs right now, so thats always good!

St Paddy's Day Week

I totally forgot it was St. Patty's Day. I cant remember what I wore yesterday. Tacos sound good, I cant wait to have mexican food again! Im glad the missionaries there are helpful.Have fun at Bragg! Sounds like a good time doing taxes and what not!
I only really know of one elder for sure, maybe you could send him a package or something. but maybe be anonymous because I just dont wanna embarrass him or weird him out. But his name is Elder M. Im sure he would be thrilled with any type of food (snack foods are best) or a card or letter. Im going to tell Rachel to marry him. You can write in english, he speaks really good english. If I think of anyone else I will let you know. That is really nice of you! I love you! I hope your teeth dont hurt to bad!

Im sorry that you didnt have the greatest week. I hope this next one will be better. Thank you for your prayers, this week was really good for us, we had 2 baptisms and I am so happy for them, I really love them, they both are really special, they were my 2 little miracles. I am so happy I was privilaged to be apart of their conversion.
We had a ward activity and me and my comp spent almost all day baking a billion cookies for it. It was so fun. We played broom hockey, it was a blast and hilarious!
So last week we were sitting in McDonalds and the Elders were at a different table and they were all giggling and looking at our table so I went over a demanded to know what they were up to. They said nothing they just had something for me, I promptly told them I didnt want anything from them. Then the whole crew from McDonalds comes over with a tambarine in hand and a crown, and I realize what is up, so I run back to my table and yell that it isnt my birthday....I probably should have said it in spanish because they followed me and put a crown and bib on me and sang to me. But hey I got free pie. But just thought you should know it was my birthday last week!
I got my TOMs! Woo hoo! I love them. I will be sending a birthday package but it might be a bit late because I dont have the money right now, but next month Ill send it, so sorry about that!
I love you so much!
The cookies were oatmeal raisin and chocolate chips.
Birthdays are the best! My favorite! We are meeting the elders and the bishop of the other ward for lunch. The bishop in the other ward loves us and he is sad that I am probably leaving Wednesday.
 
 

 
Yep that is a Tuc tuc, America should get some!


A hole in my Tom's. Thank goodness the new ones arrived!

Spring Forward Week

Mama's Answer to her letter
Things are good here. I killed another chicken this week, and I actually used the knife, not just held it down, it was easier than I anticipated, but still not enjoyable.
WE had 3 baptism interviews for this next saturday! WE were thrilled! 2 of them are super excited, the other one was excited but yesterday at church she informed us she rather not get baptized now....she is just scared of her 17 childish spouse, who doesnt want her to get baptized, but I dont know why...he is a member. So hopefully we can help her out and she will get baptized Saturday.
So yesterday we were standing in front of the church talking to some leaders and I hear this huge crashing noise and I look over and this kid is landing on the ground, he had been on his motorcycle and got hit by a truck. Some how he turned out to be okay. So that is good.
Not much else to report on. Same old same old!
I love you all so much! Yes please send pics and I wil try to send more too! Love you!

Daddy's answer to his letter
Good job on your shooting! Congrats! its better than I could have done! Im glad mommy was safe too! And 81 dollars is great!(FROM PAPA JOHN'S) I love and miss you too. Our numbers arent fantastic but we have 2 to 3 baptisms planned for this week, so pray hard they dont fall! I know Im suppose to be here too....only God knows why, but Im trying to enjoy my time here. I really like my zone and my ward right now. I have just been really tired this week....hopefully thatll pass, if not I can sleep in a year right?
I love and miss you too!
Be good! and yes I always find chairs to put away! haha!(BECAUSE SHE IS A KRUEGER)

It's March!

Hahaha Lizzie probably is getting even! And yes the Pan Man did get baptized, I will send some pics. It didnt count for our area because he lives in the Elder's zone but I still secretley count him as one of mine because I found him. Too bad I still get macheted because our area hasnt had a baptism in a while. oh well, they will come.
I'm sorry you have been feeling sick, I hope they figure stuff out for you!
That sounds fun that all of you got to be together this week! That is so wonderful that you and Daddy were able to recognize those tender mercies. Im trying to do that more! For example a tender mercy I had yesterday was that my hair wasnt out of control, and you know how rare that is!
I absolutely love the talk (By Sheri Dew), Id love to read it! I have thinking about that a lot lately, and have been reading my Pat. Blessing a lot and thinking about who I was, who we were before now, and what our purpose is.
Testimony Meeting sounds interesting....
I dont think I need anything right now. I am good! This week was good. We got to go to the Temple, so I was thrilled, I had forgotten what silence sounded like....it is beautiful! Then we went to see some ruins today so that was pretty fun. We went and got smoothies with one of our investigators who is really positive, like she reads and goes to church and everything but she wouldnt set a date for baptism, she told us the other night she would think of doing it the 16th of March, so pray hard. We have been also teaching the cutest family....they just told us they are moving out of town today. So thats a bummer. But things are good, and Im enjoying myself!
I love you all!

For Rachel! Burger King!

Rainy Days and Mondays

Thanks for your emails and love! I love you both too! It sounds like you are doing well! I can't really write much right now because we are in the middle of a conference and they only gave us 30 minutes! Can you believe that!? WTH? But whatever. I will have more time next week!
I'm so excited you started your fund! Woohoo! And don't worry I won't marry a Guatemalan man. They just really want my eyes. They don't have many blue ones around here, and they think I'm blond?
Not much here. I almost got attacked by a dog, it was tied up, but then got loose all of a sudden, but I'm pretty sure an angel stopped it because just all of a sudden it stopped barking and running at me once it was like a foot in front of me. My comp and I were terrified but then I started laughing and my comp was like ¨Why are you laughing?¨ Idk why....I think I might be loosing it here.
I also went to buy some bread this week and I randomly invited the pan man to come to stake conference this week....and he did....and while there he informed the elders that he´d like to be baptized this saturday....so we will see about that.
We are going to the temple tomorrow, so I am thrilled! But really not much going on except we are going to try changing things up and getting creative in our area because nothing is happening. So we have some good ideas, I'm excited to see if they work are not!
Anyways sorry I couldn't say more! Know that I love you a lot!
Oh and what kind of poptarts were those that you sent, the ones with the white frosting!? My comp and I are in love!!!
Anyways I love you! Thank you for being who you are!
