Things Are Good

hola how's everyone doing? things are good here in homestead, today before we switch for exchanges we are going to the miami zoo with the miami 4 sisters. should be fun! i had the best (ok and the only) quinceanera ever.. thank you for the new clothes and presents mom and dad! did you pick out white on purpose? that day sister crane wanted to surprise me and take me to eat latin food but its hard when i'm the driver to make anything be a surprise.. but we did go get cuban pizza (which is so delicious) and that was fun. we spent a lot of time this week tracting in the redlands (like the everglades but the opposite side.. i cant really explain sorry) but it was so quiet and peaceful i almost felt like i was in UTAH. weird! it was nice to get away from miami for awhile. but the peopel that live there in the redlands have their own way of doing things and not much success came from it. tanner hale (president's 19 year old son) went in the MTC this week. he left FL on tuesday night. i had zone conference on wednesday morning, and the hales told us they dont have family in utah to pick him up from the airport so they had a friend pick him up. then they showed us a pic of tanner that morning with the Uchtdorf's. too bad for tanner, right :) we got these nice new phones they are just like my blackberry i had! i dont know how we afford that, but oh well. i learned we are the only mission in the world with texting .. i think thats what the said.. but i could be wrong. we sang a childs prayer at zone conf. sis crane and i sang 1 verse then some elders the 2 then the combined part we switched to spanish. it was really cool. aida is still good to get baptized sat night- yay! xavior and heaven are praying about the 22, and so is julian. when we extended the date michelle automatically said no and that was too bad, i thought she got the restoration but i guess not :( its been 90 degrees and its real hot while riding bikes, but its also been raining some. so no matter what people think we are crazy. we met this man sylvester he's like 65 but he has 21 kids.. wouldnt that be a sweet family to baptize haha. we have a new elder working in homestead south he just got here he's from tonga and i have a hard time understanding him, he's learning english. yesterday in gospel principles i had to stand before the class and recite the first vision.. i did it perfectly but sometimes i have such a hard time doing it cause i know it so much better in spanish so i say it in spanish in my head and translate it. then we had a nice lunch during relief society put on by the elders quorom. omar came to church by himself, michlle took the kids for the day and she's starting to frusterate me, but i'm so proud of him as he prepares and works towards getting the priesthood and as he becomes active again. i love this work, i'm so glad i get to be serving where i am, right now apart of this work
love sister call
