cumplo meses en la misiòn como una mujer se cambia la ropa

Whattuppppp family?!?!?!  Hows the week been?!?!?!  Shoot i didnt even realize it was the 4th of july haha but colombia did, there were parties and tons of music all over the place!!1  oh wait, thats everyday here in Colombia...

WOW WOW WOW k so first off CONGRATS TO WILL!!!!!  HITTING it up in the field now!!!!  And as i mentioned, im almost COMPLETELY SURE HIS COMP IS TYLER MUIRS COUSIN!!!!   If so i totally met him a few times and have heard TONS about him, super good guy!!!  WOWWWW!!!!!  And i cant believe hes with a gringo!!!  Hahahaha that NEVER happens in my mission, but is suuuuper sweet!!!  And wooow they are opening up the area as well, meaning they both got there as fresh newbies, thats pretty cool, ive only done that once in the mission in the area im in now...!!!!

Alright well its been another good week here in the heat in Zarzal Colombia!  I hit my 13 month mark the other day, CRAZY!!!!  We went back to Cali this week for our monthly leadership meeting, last pday we played soccer and basketball with the branch, im actually getting somewhat decent at soccer, still havent met anyone who knows how to play basketball without bouncing the ball off of their toes as they dribble, i taught everyone the phrase ``breaking ankles``, and ya thats about all thats happened. 

My comp and i in our very very little free time in the night time and on pdays practice juggling, haha and we are actaully getting REALLY GOOD!!!  I can now jugle perfectly with 3 limes, throwing in a number of fancy tricks, and can almost do four, still working on it there...

Ya so thats really about all ive got this week...  We have a ``Noche Blanca`` this week which means a whole bunch of people are getting baptized in a number of cities around here and we are all gonna meet up in one chapel to have a HUGE baptismal service, should be pretty sweet!!!  My comp and i will have one baptism there and the sister missionaries here in our district with us have been on fire and in a perfect world are going to have 4!!!

Si pues que pena por no tener màs por contarles, la pròxima semana les prometo una carta màs entretenida.  Algo interesante que hemos estado haciendo es tratar de corregir la tradiciòn acà de adorar a la virgen marìa.  Es una apostacìa ridìcula, aquì por allì 70% dirìa yo de la gente adora a la virgen Marìa, que quiere decir que van a imàgines de ella y estatuas y la oran y todo... Tan solo tenemos que mostrarles el segundo mandamiento y ellos se sorprenden, diciendo ``ve, ese es el segundo mandamiento?  Enserio?  Nunca nos han mostrado eso en la iglesia...`` y ya... a veces parece que hay demasiado que hacer, pero la escritura en Alma 37:5 me consuela y me asegura que la obra se seguirà llevando a cabo.  Sè que vivimos en los ùltimos dìas predichos por los profetas de la antiguedad, sè que la iglesia se ha restaurado en su plenitud, y lo comparto en el nombre de Jesucristo, amen.

los amo

nos vemos
