Our last week went by so fast! It was crazy! I'm so excited for Panama though! I'm freaking out!
So I asked President Pratt (who is usually kinda tightly laced. Is that an English expression? I don't remember if I got it right) if we could watch Prince of Egypt for our movie on Sunday. He said no. He said it has to be made by the church which I understand but Moses is important too! its okay though.
I got the Dear Elders! You guys are awesome. So it said they were printed like August 28 but I didn't get them until Sep 11! crazy! they take forever so really, email is the best. though I do LOVE getting mail so.. second hint hint...
SHOUT OUT TO HEATHER PITT! Only the cutest person ever. Seriously, thank you for the letter! I miss you and love you too! mail rocks you guys.
Oh! you guys wanna know how stupid Mexican beetles are? they are super stupid. they somehow flip themselves on their backs, can't get back up, and die of starvation like a day later. Stupid! we have like five in our house every day. i insult them most of the time.
Mexican night was last night! Mexicans are crazy. c.r.a.z.y. They really love their culture! They had some dancers for us who were really awesome actually. The Mexican missionaries were LOVING IT. It almost made me a little jealous of their culture cause the U.S. doesn't really have anything like that. We have fireworks and hot dogs but... that's about it kinda...
We have another party tonight! Woo hoo! so Mexicans celebrate by staying up til midnight and setting off fireworks like new years but also they go outside and shoot their guns in the air like a million times. its illegal of course cause the bullets come back down and... kill people... but people still do it i guess. anyway, for our celebration we have like a special event thing starting at... wait for it... 10:30!!!!! WHAT!!!! We won't get to bed til like 11 or later!!! Living on the edge peeps.
Good quote from my teacher who is amazing: "The secret to this gospel is to love it". So true! This gospel is such a blessing and we all just really need to love it! Once we love it, we are able to feel so much more love for other people and all our duties are not burdens, they are blessings! So things that seem really difficult like tithing, or word of wisdom or something becomes such a blessing in our lives when we strive to love the gospel and also love others. LOVE FIXES EVERYTHING. It's cool.
I love you all! Next time I email I might be in PANAMA!!!!
