She is my beautiful companion Hermana Cabrera! She has two sisters and five cats
and all the other animals because she lives in a field!
 Is super cute and super extremely witty and she is my only daughter! <3
[She wrote it all in Spanish, so this is the best translation I could manage.]

OOOOOOKAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY so let's get down to business

first of all, NEVER SEND ME A PICTURE OF BUFFALO WINGS AGAIN I AM SITTING HERE ALMOST ACTUALLY CRYING IN REAL LIFE BUT NOT QUITE BUT ALMOST BECAUSE SOMETIMES I REALIZE THAT I MISS AMERICAN FOOD PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT TO ME EVER AGAIN LITERALLY THIS IS THE WORST

okay not the worst

it's not that bad

but i did find buffalo wing flavored chips today

(it's not the same)

This would be the offending photo of homemade Buffalo Wings from Jeffrey's birthday over the weekend.

BUT ANYWAY, back to business 

SOOOOOOOO training

I am doing the train boop (hense the choo choo). I am training my little daughter missionary and we are having fun and doing LOTS OF STREET CONTACTS and also guess what we found

just guess

we found

A REALLY AWESOME DUDE THAT WE ARE TEACHING HIS NAME IS *FREDO 

let me describe him to you

picture William Shatner

now picture William Shatner as a Chilean.

There you have it.

We are teaching Chilean William Shatner and he is SOO COOL. He actually was our first contact as a companionship and he invited us to teach him (I repeat, he invited us) and so we went one day and taught him and he was very interested but didnt want to share in his house (he rents a room in a place where there are a lot of rooms and a lot of the other people are Catholic and he didnt want to make them feel weird or us feel weird) so we said, 'Well, we can talk in the church' but he didnt know where the church was, er, well I told him where, but he wasnt familiar with the area (how do you say ubicar??) but we secured another appointment (I DONT KNW HOW TO SPEAK NOMRAL ENGLISH) anyway and he said he would find the church, but i was a bit doubtful because he lives on the opposite side of the sector from the church, but so we were in the church for a meeting and then

suddenly

HE SHOWED UP

SO FAR FROM HIS HOME

IN THE CHURCH

AND AS IT TURNED OUT I EVEN HAD WRITTEN THE NUMBER OF THE CHURCH WRONG AND HE TOLD US BASICALLY THAT THE SPIRIT GUIDED HIM TO THE CHURCH

SO WE HAD A LESSON

AND THEN HE WAS LIKE 'so you will have church here on sunday?' but we had stake conference so we were like 'no its in another building this sunday ' and he didnt know where that was either and he doesnt have a phone and there just was no way to explain it clearly but he told us he would find it

and we told him about the adult session and that he could go on saturday too and he said 'i'll be there' but in spanish 

but i was doubtful again

but then on saturday we're sitting there and after the meeting

from behind us

comes

FREDO

HE SHOWED UP

HE FOUND HIS WAY TO THE STAKE CENTER ALL BY HIMSELF FAR FROM HIS HOME WALKING

HE

I

WHAT

LITERALLY

HE

AND HE WENT ON SUNDAY AS WELL

AND HE ACCEPTED A BAPTISMAL DATE ON THE FIRST LESSON THING

AND HE LOVES ALL OF OUR DOCTRINE AND EVERYTHING AND READS HIS SCRIPTURES EVERY DAY AND PRAYS AND JUST

EVERYTHING

EVERYTHING

EVERYTHING

he is SO COOL

I really really really really hope and am praying that he is able to continue learning and progressing in the gospel. 

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO THREE CHEERS FOR STREET CONTACTING

but anyway

that... 

ummmmmmmm

this week we were talking with one of our investigators (like leaving the house saying goodbye) and my spanish was failing somewhat and i was thinking abuot other things and so she was like 'Oh chiquillas, siempre les voy a recordar' (which means, literally translated, 'oh little girls, i am always going to remember you') and I went to say 'nunca le vamos a olvidar' (we are never going to forget you) but instead I said 'nunca le vamos a odiar' which means

ready

'we are never going to hate you' 

and then i couldnt stop laughing long enough to explain myself and we just all stood around laughing and being confused and it was so funny

maybe it doesnt seem that funny

but IT WAS HILARIOUS 

also my companion does this thing where when she feels like she's going to sneeze, she whispers 'achoo' and she told me she doesnt remember why she started it or why she does it

food for thought

what else.... hmm.... i am missing chocolate covered pretzels if anybody was wondering

also today found betty crocker frosting in Lider

and you better believe that i bought it

but what else? i feel like i'm forgetting something so large and big and grande... 

who knows, BUT OKAY I HAVE TO GO NOW

HOPE YOU GOT THE ONE PICTURE I SENT 

LOVE YOU AAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

CCCCCCCCIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

*I've changed the name of the investigator in the interest of privacy
