siswag: DID YOU SAY BANANA SOUP?? KILL ME

FAMMMMMIIIILLLYYYYY,

I take everything back about the librarian.. she's not as stuck up as I thought swinging those keys at 11 a.m. to let us in. There was a huge line for computers today and she took me to the back with a HP (sigh)... then WAALAA... she switched me to a darling cute little mac laptop. I take everything back lady. You are wonderful!! OH I FORGOT HOW WONDERFUL YOU ALL ARE! You don't get too much time to think about your family on the mission so when you do and when you GET TO SEE THEM IN PERSON! It's better than hot summer day running through the rainbirds eating raspberries!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH AND YA'LL GAVE ME SO MUCH ENERGY AND I JUST WANTED TO JUMP UP AND YELL TO ALL OF MY INVESTIGATORS TO JUST LOOK AT THE TYPE OF FAMILY THEY COULD HAVE THROUGH THE GOSPEL!!! I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LUCKY! Sorry about the popcorn... got a little crazy. Sounded like a small hail storm on the railroad tracks... also sorry I couldn't have Ronnie on my lab with all paws on board. I tried to lift him but he's about as heavy as real Ronnie!

Since I just talked to you yesterday and it was the best thing of my life, there's not much to tell ya but I will tell you my week according to my five senses again....

This week....

Touch..... FELT LIKE RAID, GREEN APPLE DISH SOAP, AND WINDEX ON MY FEET! I've become a professional cockroach killer! I call it our "bangin time" we come in every night and have to bang on the counters and all the cockies run loose.... I for some reason can never find the right way to kill them and the raid is never with me. So we currently have a pile of green apple dish soap that I got to personally dip my toes in this morning in the dark and WINDEX! got to love the texas bugs!! I have a huge frozen coach roach that i've had my whole mission. His name is sabastien... my comps hate him but I can get them to do anything with him in hand. He currently has a leash made of floss and he will be coming home on the plane with me!! can't wait for you to meet him!

smell.... smelt like a FUME FREE HOUSE! please donate to the fumes free foundation for Antonio Alfonso... jk just love annoucing foundations. That's my goal to announe a foundation at a Fergie concert. Anywho, we went over to Antonios house after skyping and by golly jeepers! HE STOPPED SMOKING!!! can i get a HIP HIP HORRAY!! he's been smoking for 45 years and he stopped thanks to the atonement of our savior Jesus Christ! because a 19 year old girl like me couldn't get someone to quite a habit like this... only our savior! He's amazing! wait i'm 20 a 20 year old girl! His house smelt clean for once! and he looks so happy! He's getting baptized this Sunday if he can just stay FUME FREE this week! I know he can do it! I have complete faith!

Taste.... TASTED like banana soup... have I told you about Onandy and Jariela?? He shook a BOM in my face and told us, "This book means nothing to me! I will never read that!" We dropped him... we HAPPENED (THANKS TO THE SPIRIT) to call the day his grandma passed away and he sure as heck got the humble stick straight to the head and THEY ARE SO CUTE!!!... except when they make banana soup. yep you heard right- banana soup. They hand me a huge bowl of I'll call it chicken noodle soup hits the islands. Noodles, veggies, meat, AND BANANAS. I'm looking around frantically when I can dispose these bananas but they watched me INHALE the whole bowl... I tried to swallow them whole because I was so nervous but after a while I think my mouth just went numb. Praise the heavens that I couldn't taste anything!

Hear.... this week sounded like MY FAMILY ON SKYPE!!! Hearing your voices and your laughs made me the happiest missionary south of england! I HAVE THEEEEEE GREATEST FAMILY ON EARTH! how did I get so lucky?? I've seen so many sad family situations here and I just feel too spoiled to have all you! thanks guys for being YOU!!

See.... This week LOOKED like a small hispanic catering company.. I've already hired them for my wedding and first childs baptism. These hispanics here love a good reason to party. you all know that! all you got to say is it's nation pineapple day and you've got yourself a party! Mothers day party... started out dull like usual because most don't know how to come on time. It was suppose to start at 7 buutttttt it was me, my comps, bishop,and his wife, some investigators... listening to slow hispanic jazz just chillin till 8 when THE CATERS CAME STROLLING IN... AKA high priest group leader. they had all the women sit down while the men went to the kitchen to serve... I got a little nervous about the whole situation. (hispanic men here just don't cook. thats not their thing) so we go back there and they look like they don't know where to start. So I start up an assembly line and I'm like, "guys your doing awesome! lets start a catering company!!!" we were all just messing around and they were getting so into it... I thought it was mom ordering us around with just strict rules. "Turn the fish this way. get the lump of rice more round." best part was the guy drizzling the gravy took the Catering Company comment way to serious and was making designs! it was so much fun! The party actually started at 10 when bishop started a game of karaoke (i cant think of how to spell that word. the game you sing to. sorry english sometimes is so hard!) We were well in our beds at this hour!

This week was AMAZIN! I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!

byeeeee

natsy!!!
