¡buenos días mi familia y mis amigos! :)
¿Qué está pasando? por mi, pues no mucho este semana...... pero aqui es mi carta este semana :)
HAPPY V_DAY!! hope all is well and that your handling the heat. its been hard here to handle it. i mean im like sweating buckets.. haha. yeah right. but good news is that its been getting warmer!! Dee you were right! you get to Valentines Day and it hasnt seemed so cold! spring seems around the corner. I just really dont want another huge dump of snow. so sick of it. but wanna hear something funny. oh dad you are gonna be so jealous. :) :p well weve been in the 40s this past week! the snow is melting and the sun is acutally out! the wind isnt really that bad and I actually dont need to wear my sleeping bag with arms outside! its so lovely. but me and hna layton are lookin back to November and that was where we were FUHREEZING cause of the cold. like wearing sweaters and lots of leggings even sweat pant under our skirts and you know what the temp was then? in the 40s. like exactly what it is now and we think that its SO perfect outside. so i really dont know how im gonna handle coming back to arizona temps. im gonna be like the wicked witch and just melt away. but ill still love it :) dont worry.
so you know how I kind of do this sleep talking thing? you know where im sleeping but i still have conversations with my comp? well ya. its still happening. had another episode happen like 2 days ago. wanna hear it? ok... well we got home and we were having our nightly planning session, where we go over what work we did that day and what are plan is for the next day. so we finish planning and im seriously sooo tired. and its my turn to pray. so because im so tired i decide that im gonna say a quick prayer cause i just really wanna go to bed and sleep. so i start praying...and mind you we only pray in spanish. its so weird to do it any other way now. but i start out my prayer... Nuestro Padre Celestial. (Our dear heavenly father) Gracias por este día (thank you for this day) Gracias por nuestros muchos bendiciones (thank you for our many blessings) and boom. thats all I remember. but its not all i said. according to hna layton I kept praying. and yes it was still in spanish. I went off and prayed for our investigators and asked for them to have help in the things that they needed and like it was pretty specific to each of our investigators needs (still in spanish btw) and then i said por favor bendice a elder antola y elder whatcott que....(please bless elder anotla and elder whatcott that...) and then i stopped speaking. so hna layton thought that i was just trying to think of words to say in spanish so she sat there wating for a bit. and then she thought.."no. she fell asleep." so she opened her eyes and saw me completely passed out. she started laughing and made the sound PSSSSTTT. and i woke up. looked around and my brain when right back to what i had been doing before i was asleep and i remembered i had been praying but i had no idea how long han layton had been waiting for me to talk so i just said digo estas cosas en el nombre de JesuCristo amen. and she was laughing so hard. like I really just did that. fell asleep in the middle of a sentance.. but then she kept talking and was like telling me the story and somehow we got back to how I was praying for our investigators and found out that all of that i had not remembered at all. I passed out waaaaay earlier. like the 3rd sentance in. but kept talking. so it just would have been even more funny if I had just talked and talked and talked like said a 15min prayer sleeping and hna layton would have just been waiting and waiting for me to finish and i would have been already asleep. man.
so another funny thing. I may sleep talk. but at least i dont sleep write. which we found out yesterday that thats what herman layton does. she was writing a card to her grandpa and she was falling asleep. but she finished it and went to bed. so the next day we were talking and she pulls out the card and says "oh ya I think I was falling asleep when writing this so I dont know if I finished it." well she finished it alright. everything was fine. till you got to the end of the card where she said. love your favorite granddaughter, and in the most legible and pretty handwriting signed it , Hermana Mormon (Meredith). what does that mean?! haha hermana Mormon. so i no longer am with hna layton but I am serving with Hna Mormon. :)
we had zone meeting this week and it was pretty good. it was about being better teachers and teaching with the spirit. how we need to prepare before hand but then how when we go into teach lessons to our investigators then we need to listen to the spirit and what he wants us to talk about. and we will be given in the very hour what we need to say.
oh and so since we have the cool thing where we get to go on the computer for an hour any other time of the week and check out mormon.org and lds.org i found a couple videos I want to share:
start a new year. dont be like lots wife. dont look back. learn and then forgive and forget. thats all there is to it.
turn unto christ. he will comfort and bless you. repent and you will be forgiven. he is waiting for you to come unto him. step by step. :)
and then these two: man oh man.. missionary work! <3 it
26 boys coming to priesthood. the power of one acting and not being afraid to open his mouth. you can be a missionary. just open you mouth and invite! :) youll be amazed at how it opens the doors to a lot of things.
hope you enjoy those. i love em. super mucho.
ummm... and i think that sums it up for me here this week. hope things are well there.
dad hope you enjoyng the bc weather. whats it like? hows work there? hope your presentation went well. :) Mom sounds like you have a busy week even with dad gone. cool hike you both went on. haha and great way to end it. love it. mike: did you get a new car? what kind is it? does it have ac? hows school and stuff? still workin at safeway?
Lillian! man you are the best. thanks for you package I got it yesterday and died laughing. the fishing care package. its perfect. in our apt we even have a little fireplace so me and my hermana are gonna feel like weve really be fishing and are camping with all these delicious stuff. thank you so much. there should be a letter heading your way soon so keep your eyes peeled :)
Nana I still havent gotten your package yet. hopefully today. my fingers are crossed! :) I love you and thanks for thinking of me and sending me something! :)
Dee: I was wondering if I could get Austins address at the mtc. like his p.o box and stuff...and idk if my mom already told you about dearelder.com. but if not its a pretty awesome thing. you can type him a letter for free and then he gets that letter like either that day or the next from you. it gets there faster to him then it does by sending an actual letter or by waiting a week to hear from you on emails once a week.
