Hello everybody!! How are y'all doing? I miss you all so much and I love to get your letters!! So what is going on and how has your summer been? Have you done anything fun or exciting? What has the weather been like? It is still very hot down here, but it is nice today.
So life here has been pretty slow this past week. With it being summer and the 4th of July this week, it seems like everybody is out of town. So we mainly taught members, recent converts and less actives this week. But I will try to think of the best stories from the week.....................Ok I have a few.
Story 1 So I have not said very much about my new Companion so her is some info. Her name is Michelle Brown, she is 19 and from west Jordon. She is very nice and excited to learn everything that she can. And I am trying to be the best trainer that I can and to teach her how to be a good missionary....Even if I haven't completely figured out how to do that by myself yet. But I know that with heavenly fathers help I can do anything!!
Story 2 We started the new member lessons with Tara Gosseck this past week (the 17 yr old read head who got baptized on the 22nd). So we are going over all of the things from the first lesson, and asking her questions. She has learned so much in the short amount of time that we have been able to meet with her! Then when we start talking about the book of Mormon and how she has read it twice already. She corrects us and tells us that she has read it 4 times!!! I mean wow right!! It is a really good motivator to keep reading the Book of Mormon over and over again!! I mean she has been a member for a week and she has read the book of Mormon more than I have!! ( I have read it about 2 and 1/2 times all the way through) So her example has motivated me to read it as many times as I can on my mission, and not to stop when I get home!

Story 3 Yesterday after church we were walking out to the car when we see the Hall family. There youngest Son Rowen had a tissue up his nose and blood all down his vest. So I asked what happened, and it turns out that he was picking on a girl and hit her. So she hit him back in the face!!! His nose just started gushing blood and he just kept screaming "She did this to me!" Ha I wish that I could teach in primary it would be so much fun!! And so the moral of the story is if a boy his you punch him in the face!! Ok no that is not the missionary answer that I should give but still I would have hit him too. Rowen can sometimes be little violent and mean, so I don’t blame Vivi for hitting him back!
Story 4 On Friday after District meeting we all go to district lunch. And this week the elders wanted to go to this Burrito place where you can get big burrito's for cheap. So We went to the this little restaurant and we order a burrito. I ordered some sort of pork stuff, I think. Yeah I am not quite sure what it was because the menu was in Spanish, and the elders description was that good and not to spicy. So we sit down and wait for the food and then they bring out this long tinfoil log and didn’t know what it was. But it turns out to be the district leaders burrito!! I was wondering what it was exactly he ordered when they but a giant burrito in front of the rest of us!!!
This burrito was as long as my elbow to the tips of my fingers!! And it was very good and very spicy!! And so because to the size and the spiciness I could not eat all of it!! But the best thing that we ate this week was ....wait for it.....Homemade.......Giant....Reese...Peanut butter...Cups!!! Oh my gosh they were so good, and so big!!! Dee Dee Garcia made them and made sure to save us some!! And again they were so stinking GOOD!!!
