Heylo!


So this week, nothing really big happened. But it was our first week teaching the lesson in Spanish. It was honestly the best lesson we, as a companionship, have ever taught! The missionaries who were observing us thought I was totally fluent and pro at Spanish. Which is a lie, I'm good, but not good enough for the field, like they say. We got a new district in our zone this week. They are pretty cool, but pretty reserved. They aren't tight with our zone yet. Wow! Teaching in Spanish is so amazing. I am really enjoying it a lot!!! I love speaking Spanish, I speak it most the time we are in class. And people in the district think I'm like boasting because I do it, but then they ask me questions all the time. Its kind of funny. But, whatever.

I went to the dentist on Thursday and they told me I missed Colt and Dad by 24 hours! I was like, “wow!,” so many people I know. Those ladies were so nice. They bought Elder Simmonds and me Cafe Rio! It was so bomb. It was real food! Not the fattening stuff here that they plump me up with. I'm up to 17 lbs now!! My shirts shrunk – or I’m way fat! I'm gonna lose it all though. Just watch. Maybe??.....ha. Tanner, when I get back, you are going to be my trainer. Get me cut, ripped , and beautiful again.

But this week was a lot about Spanish and stuff. We taught a lot of lessons in Spanish. It’s a lot more spiritual teaching in Spanish. I like it a lot more. But it’s gonna be so much harder when I'm in the field!! But I'm ready for it. I'm sick of sitting in class all day! I wanna go save some souls!

We had a speaker last night that was just so awesome. He said work hard and don't look back. So I'm determined this week to finish the Book of Mormon, and to also perfect my Spanish as much as I can! The BOM has so much more to offer! It really is so amazing, and reading it in the temple, even better!

I got a haircut, they BUTCHERED IT! ahhh. They cut the sideburns like skiwampus. My neck is like a wave. The back of my hair has like waves of long and short hair, and the top is like an inch longer than everything else. So Elder Au, having clippers, just chopped off my hair! Its straight up buzzed! 3/4 inch. Its money in the bank. I love my hair short.

The snow was awesome! It’s always great seeing the snow when I go to the temple. I look out at the valley. I love it so much! I am going to miss the mountains so much! I really love Utah.

I love you all so much!!! Miss ya!!! Tell Mimi hi!!! Love you so much.
