JUST KNOW THAT I AM HAPPY, I LOVE MY DISTRICT AND I AM SO GLAD TO BE HERE!

So i was literally 75% done with my letter when the internet crashed and when i logged back on, my draft wasn't saved. So i'm pretty upset and frustrated right now to say the least, especially since I now only have a few minutes to try and recreate what took me 15ish min to type earlier.....so now my letter won't be as good and i apologize. also, the enter button isn't working. so just edit it mom and proofread since i don't have time to. always proofread. ok, so sorry the pictures didn't go

through last week; they don't seem to be working this week either. the internet is just shot so i doubt i'll be able to send anymore till i get to the field...hopefully the internet is better there? ahhh i'm so bummed. i'm not gonna be able to articulate everything as well as i did in the letter that just got erased....oh well, here goes a few short notes.

ELDER CRISTOFFERSON talked to us on saturday! he was in town for the organization and celebration of the 100th stake here in peru! we didn't think he was gonna have time to talk to us but then he did last minute and it was so exciting. Pero, it was in spanish. not as fun. but they had a translator so i listened to elder cristofferson with one ear and the translator with the other. He basically just gave us advice and it was super comforting and inspiring. 

What else....my friends here just left for the field. (lima south and quito ecuador) It was super sad and felt like high school. like they were going to college and i still had my senior year left. yearbook signings and everything.(for real, we sign journals. haha) anyways i'm gonna miss them all like crazy and it will be so weird not seeing them around the CCM to just run up and hug and chat with. Pero esta bien porque we are gonna live in a house together in provo come 2015. It's gonna rock.

(and by we i mean sam jameson, karli moats and savannah moir) Provo may not be my favorite place but i'd be willing to give it another shot with those awesome girls by my side. So these past few days have been sad, but we will write so 'its cool. And now we are the SENIORZZZ! My bros, harrison and hughes, are the ZLs and we rule the school. it's weird being the oldest and having people ask me for spanish advice...cause i feel like i don't know anything! But i'm able to answer their questions so i guess i've progressed?

ok so i got your package on thursday! also your dear elder mom! it took THAT long to get here. hahah but the package was so awesome, everyone was way jealous. thanks for the treats and what not. It's funny cause i was actually just thinking this past week that i regret not making greiner's scripture list smaller for my scriptures and not getting a smaller patriarchal blessing for my

scriptures either and now i have both without even having to ask you! you're awesome. also the laminated fam pic was the best idea ever.

hey, so mom, why do i need that credit card you sent?? i already have my debit card....i'm confused. anyways i had so much more to say but time is out. OH mom buy me a calling card and give me the info so i can call you at the airport when i leave in a couple weeks! ah this is so rushed and i feel like i haven't said anything important but i gotta go! I got some awesome pictures this past week but i guess you shall have to wait and see them. Just know that i am happy, i love my district  and I am so glad to be here! I love you all so much. Keep up the letters por favor. :) Te amo

mucho. xoxo.
