So first off, i would like to ask for sincere forgiveness for not writing you last week....what happened is that we decided to take 30 minutes in the morning to read our emails and then in the afternoon use our last hour to write and so in my 30 minutes i responded to the little emails with the intention that i would be able to respond to yours using the whole hour in the afternoon....but we were running really late and when we got  back to our area we had to go to our lessons.....SORRY!!!!

But anyways, that story about the missionaries over for dinner just blows my mind!! I cant even imagine going over to have dinner with a family and acting like that.....thats just soo sad. I have had moments that i truly had to hold the grossest things down in my stomach until i left the house to be able to run and puke. but i had to show that i loved the food by eating all of it with a smile and thats just part of the mission!! Thats ridiculous ahahah 

so about the skype call, we are planning on skyping at 3ish maybe 3:30 but around that time:) haha i am super excited as well, and its kind of weird becuase i realized the other day that this will be the last time skyping in the misison............woah.........CRAAZY!! I am super excited though. 

So as far as this week i have been super good!!! it was president morgans birthday!!!! We went over to his house in the morning and brought him his favorite candy and icecream and just spent a few moments with him and his family:) then as always we just got to a talking about allthe things that are going on in the mission ahaha and we ended up having a big meeting:) kind of funny haha

But Jorge Castro passed his interview and he will be baptized this saturday!!:) its soooo awesome! this sunday his mom and sister came with him (they are inactive) and they had a great experience:) He is changing the life of his family!!!1

Also we have been in the process of changing the whole vision of the mission to have the faith and the desire to baptize on a weekly basis and we are getting closer and closer to it! i love to see how the whole culture of the mission is being turned around and we are really aligning our mission with preach my gospel and with what the lord would have us do:) 

I am doing super duper good!! And also received the shoes and gatorade yesterday!! AMAZING!! i forgot how comfortable real new shoes are haha THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!:) also i bought the suit and its going to be a sweet grey and my comp got the same color so that'll be fun in Zone Conferences:) 

I love you all and just cant wait to see you on sunday!!:)}

Love you!!
