Dear Loved Ones

hello dear loved ones. first off i wish marci a happy birthday and mom and dad a happy anniversary. random news. those coming in july i found out miami lakes is 9-12 and homestead is 1-4 so we will be going to both wards. brush up on your espanol. i ate some applesauce this week that expired in 2008. i think that must've come from a food-room-clean-out project. i think this got erased from mom's tape but my friend bridget (contact her through casey) she is going to the mission nate fank is coming home from. i want them to talk if they can. ask casey when bridget leaves and see if nate will be back before she goes. my exchange with sister denson was soo fun.. the zoo was a blast and the exchange was soo good. i learned so much sister d! she is such a good missinoary and has grown soo much since she and i served in boca. i sure love her. on tuesday we had one of my best days in homestead :) every house we went to, the person was there. we got a new investigator. lots of the people we went to see were not on our initial plans.. which means (and i'm not trying to brag) but i followed the Spirit to know where to go.. i have been trying so hard to listen to the Spirit to confirm my plans. it was a really neat day! we followed this guy raul (a member) the other day, he told us he wanted us to teach his friend so we drove behind him but he kept driving south and we we ended up 20 miles from key largo.. the furthest south i ever been. pretty cool! I am working real hard on trying to understand the ATONEMENT. any advice? the baptism was soo good. 5 people got baptized. i love Aida for makign this choice. She was confirmed yesterday in sacrament meeting. also jordan (who i taught before at jordan collie's) he got baptized! it started way late and there were long talks so it didnt end til late saturday night but it was all worth it. Aida's family all came so i got to meet her husband daughter and (i already knew them) her 2 grandsons. hopefully they felt the spirit and we can teach them! sis crane and i taught sunday school yesterday 16-18 yr olds there were 9 of them.. ah. kinda scary but they are all my good friends so it was good! this is a list of reasons that you know you've been a missionary for 15 months.
1.your skirts and tops are getting thin so you always have to wear a slip or undershirt
2.your garments are so thin. i wont say any more details.
3.your next phone call home will be before your brother's next phone call home
4.you feel uncomfortable when people say my first name
5. you give people directions depending on where i am in relation to the ocean ( you know like you do it with the mountains)
6.people tell you that you drive like your from miami
7.90 degree heat dont bother you
8.you get more letters from friends you met here than you do friends you grew up with

uhh ok that was supposed to be funny but sorry if it wasnt
i hope you all have a good good week and i love you so so much
