A minature golf kind of day

So this week was fine. Just a couple things to share! I was talking to this man, ok kind of contending with him...I know we arent supoose to do that but it just was to much fun to resist. Anyways he told me that he and I were the same and I promptly told him he was nothing like me. We were both children of God but not the same ( because Im not a dirty drunk man) he stopped and was like ¨you're right, you have power!¨ Yeah I do! That was a good time! Today I had divisions because my comp had to go to the capital to sign papers for her visa, I miss my daughter! But she will be back soon, but she was ticked she missed her PDay! We went mini golfing today! That was really fun. The people I played with didn't keep score, so who knows who won! We had an investigator in church that I was not expecting so that was lovely and like 10 inactives, so that was nice! I hope everything is good at home! Love you all!

8 Month Mark!

WOOOOHOOOO! I am so glad Daddy got this job! How wonderful! Sounds like he had a good birthday! I cant wait to see pics of Molly´´s party! What is an IPAD? haha jk but I feel so disconnected from the world. What the heck is going on in the states? Why are things blowing up? When does daddy start the new job? Tell Nannie I love her too! Oh the dentist....I was just telling my comp how badly I want to go to the dentist! Ha and about how IHOP exsist and one day we will go there...well at least I hope so, but leaving Nicaragua would be really expensive for her.
THings are good here in Guatemala! We had a baptism and we recieved a bishopric this week! I was more than thrilled to have leaders to work with. They are really willing to help us! THis week we had a training for poeple from my group that entered the mission with me who are training. It was fun to see my friends. We are in our last week of this change, I cant believe I am almost half way through with training my Hermana Hurtado. She is so sweet. I completed 8 months today and woke up to a poster, cupcakes and cards! I have been super blessed with great companions so far! Raining season started so we will be walking in rivers in the streets untill October! Im glad things are wonderful at home! Stay safe! Love you!

Not much to say this week. April 15

Things are good here, we had 5 people in church yesterday, that was a miracle! We don't have anyone super positive right now, but that could change. I didn't get electrocuted too badly. Didnt even hurt, just felt really weird, I was just screwing in a light bulb.
My bathroom got a little flooded this morning but it is all fixed now! Woo hoo! And we found a gym in our area, so now we can legitally work out! So I'm excited!

We had a conference with our President this week and were able to ask him any questions about his new calling to the 70. He is over all of central America but specifically Nicaragua.

Oh and Daddy wants to send other missionaries stuff right? Well my comp could use some loving, if he wants to do something for her.

I love you all so much!

Em

Conference was Great!

Marriage is a gift to us from God. The quality of our marriage is our gift to God.

OK, what were your favorite one liners from conference?

Lets see... I liked the quotes that you put but also the one by Uchtdorf that said "Don't dwell in the darkness of this life, because light exsist too"....or something to that effect and I loved Holland´s entire talk! Also my mission president just got called to the 70 so that was exiting for us. I guess when he is with us he is our pres. when he isn't with us he is a 70. or at least till he leaves in June.

Your week sounds fun! I will pray for Daddy to get the job and I will add that into my fast this week. What would you do in an animal hospital? you don't like animals very much?

I don't sugar coat stuff. Really right now I'm fine, just getting fatter and fatter because all they give us to eat is crap and soda and tons of it. But I decided I'm going to start asking for water and less, hopefully they wont get to upset but if they do oh well. Food is really important to them. Oh and I got a little bit electrocuted I think, but it didn't hurt, it just felt really weird, but no worries, I'm fine, my hair is just a bit more scary! haha

Your gardening class sounds like a good time! Grass!? what is that!? I hope it grows!

Tell Nannie I love her too!

Nothing much new here. WE have a pair of senior missionaries and they came to observe our studying this week. THey are super sweet but I think they are a bit terrified right now, but I know they will be great!

I love you all so much! THank you for the quotes!

Take care! Mwah!

Happy Easter

Easter sounds lovely! I can't wait to be celebrating with all of you next year! Woo hoo only 11 months.....oh boy that is a long time! Haha. Im glad you had a nice birthday and Easter. We were locked in the church for 2 days and read the whole New Testament and watched part of a movie. We couldn't go out because people here in the street dress up as transvesdites and carry around large dolls representing Judas, and then the next day apparently all in red to represent the Jews. I think later on they burn the Judas doll but not sure. It is all very foreign to me. To celebrate Easter, my comp and I shared the peeps Danielle sent and watched the Testaments. Nothing really. I read part of Jesus the Christ. Didn't party a whole lot. Thanks for your words of encouragement. I love being with the people, I like teaching them and I love being with the members, honestly the hardest part for me is dealing with my district or zone leaders. I feel like I get macheted all the time. Nothing is really ever good enough but whateve. Sometimes I feel like I am in elementary school again and everyone is getting yelled at, when only 2 or 3 kids screwed up but I try to not pay attention and just try to be a good missionary. Maybe thats wrong though, maybe I need to respect my leaders more. Oh well! But other than that things are good. My spanish is ok, I can speak in lessons and with the members but for some reason I have a hard time talking to other missionaries, white missionaries in spainsh. It is so weird. We were with a family this week that wanted me to pray in english, so I did...it was so weird. I don't know how to do it in english anymore! Hopefully I'll remember!
Oh we have a couple now in our mission. They are so cute and don't speak a word of spanish. Haha I think they are terrified to live here but I know they will be great!
