this week i cracked an egg and there was a chick inside :(

The beautiful hermanas

so that happened 

holy CANNOLI okay let me start with the preguntas [questions]

i got over my cold before it became a cold but then my companion started to get SO SICK and fevery and things but she also is getting over it 

also, Jesús did get baptized!! IT WAS SO GREAT :D and I led 'Brillan Rayos de Clemencia' better known as 'Brightly Beams Our Father´s Mercy' and Presidente told me that it was AWESOME and that he was very happy with how it turned out :)

Hna García didnt think she was going to like mac n cheese but then

she was wrong and she loved it and wants to find it here to send to her family because it is the most precious food

the almonds

i am eating them on rations 

because i want them to last

forever

they're too perfect

also let's talk for a second about how EVERYBODY ON THE WHOLE DANG PLANET AND THEIR COUSINS ARE GETTING MARRIED OR HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN MARRIED AND STUFF AND JUST HOLY CANNOLI 

I LITERALLY

I DONT KNOW IF YOU GUYS REALIZE WHAT IT'S LIKE THIS EXPERIENCE THAT I'M HAVING

just imagine

leaving the planet and arriving in another place where you dont speak the language and they eat different foods

and you dont hear

from

ANYBODY that you knew (because you maybe didnt give them your email address for one)

those people stay in your mind as you saw them last

everybody

you know they have to be doing something and like making friends or living or something but you have no idea what it is that they're doing

and then suddenly

after a year and like

well we'll just say like a year

after a year

your mom says

'oh yeah btw that person that the last time you saw them was a) on the mission b) returning from the mission c) at school is a) dating b) married c) pregnant'

LIKE

IT'S A MIRACLE THAT I DONT HAVE A HEART ATTACK EVERY TIME I READ MY EMAIL BECAUSE SO MANY THINGS HAPPEN AND JUST 

SO MANY THING

THAT I CANNOT

I

JUST

THERE ARE SO MANY NEWS AND SO MANY FEEL AND SO MUCH WHAT

pday is the most stressful day

i cannot handle this

i am not going to do internet anymore

i am never going back to the united states

it is better to just stay here and make new friends and not have to deal with the FEELINGS and EMOTIONS of all the THINGS that all the PEOPLE are DOING. 

"i have attached a picture of my face
and how i feel in this moment"
At least she's never very dramatic. :)

haha no actually i will return dont worry but holy CANNOLI what even i am going to need a THERAPIST 

okay but anyway

let's talk a little more about the week

this week was super awesome great because I had another week of being a missionary and we could teach people and talk to people and all of those fun things! 

also because, as i mentioned, Jesús got baptized! Unfortunately, Juan (John) wasn't able to make it to baptize him, so Cesar did it instead, but it was great all the same! *budum-chh* [Get it?  John baptized Jesus... haha]

this week we were able to go to the temple with Jesús so that he could see it and learn a little more about it and he is really excited to be able to enter the temple one day. We're obviously also very excited :D it's always a great blessing to be able to participate in the miracles that the Lord does to hasten his work. More and more i realize that I am only a tool in his hands; his power is far above mine. It amazes me how he can take somebody as weak and as silly and tall and awkward as me and make me into somebody less weak and silly and 

well you cant change the tall part

but less awkward at least so that his children have the chance to return to live with him in the next life. i am SO GRATEFUL for the opportunity to be a missionary; i am grateful for all of the people i meet and all of the miracles i have been able to see here and even more grateful that i still have time to see more miracles. I love the Lord and I know without a doubt that this is his work. I testify of Joseph Smith; that he also acted as a tool in the Lord's hands to restore the fulness of the gospel to the earth. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God, in whichever language you read it, and that it is the perfect manual to life that anybody could ever want. I am grateful to be a member of this church and to be a missionary at this time; I am just so so so so grateful and I LOVE THE LORD :) and this i share in the name of Jesus Christ, Jesucristo, Gesù Cristo, amen.

that's all the time i've got for today, folks, but i hope you all have an excellent week and that you work hard and remember the Lord in every moment :)

I LOVE YOU ALL

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
