Otra vez?

So I decided to brave the different styles of McAllen, TX and get my hair cut. It is LONG and so it is about time. I got it cut, now I just need to go home and blow-dry it and stuff to see what it really looks like. Nothing too drastic, just a trim.

I can't believe Heather comes home on the 31st! How nuts! Someone better tell her to write me like the second she gets home! But really, she better write me! AND she better be ready to be my companion when I get home because I think I'm going to need someone to back up my car. :) So sad, I was talking to Sister Cortes the other day and she told me that once you are a senior companion, you are always a senior companion. Gone are the days of not driving and being able to count on a senior companion! DANG! :) It's okay I guess. I DO enjoy driving. :) But in all reality, the true senior companion is the Spirit, which every RM out there knows quite well. Without His help, nothing in the work happens.

I talked to the familia yesterday, but for those of you not there (meaning everyone), we had leadership training this week where I found out I am training...again...HAHAHA! I was SHOCKED! Someone asked me if I was and I said I don't think so, I haven't heard anything. They told me they heard that I was so I asked President and he said yup, felicidades! HAHAHA! This whole mission thing cracks me up. ZERO method to the madness. But none the less, I am still in my first area and destined to be here forever, which is okay because it is the best area in the mission. Really.

So tonight we are going to have a lesson with Mo_____. It is going to be about the Restauracion, again. I think that once we can establish that he DOES have a testimony of Joseph Smith, we can really work better with him. We're still praying for a birthday miracle.

In other great news, we just got done with lunch with the S_____’s and they just hired a live-in nanny, so we are going to start teaching her! She said prayers with them last night so they think she is pretty interested! We are excited to meet her!

It is always hard to write an email right after we have just talked because I feel like I already said everything! :) At the same time, being me, I have SO MUCH TO SAY! I love being a missionary. Seriously. Anyone thinking about serving, DO IT! It is the most special and rewarding experience ever! And what is 1 1/2-2 years of your life in the grand scheme of things? O man, I wish I could be a missionary forever. O wait...I CAN BE! Members are super important in the work and I am just barely learning more and more how to use them! I want to challenge all of you to either go out with the missionaries or pray for mission experiences or take your Book of Mormon to work or school and let me know how it goes. I promise you that if you do your part, the Lord WILL put people in your path. We just have to show Him that we are willing to do our part!

Anyways, we have to go to the store now. And mom and dad- I still want that recipe! We're going to make it with the S______'s. AND I got my ring! THANKS!!! It fits perfect so remember that size because it is PERFECT!!!!!

LOVE YOU ALL AND I WILL TALK TO YOU SOON!
