MOTHER!!! That is so crazy that youre in japan!!! That sounds so cool!  I loved your pictures. Dads still a dork and i love it!!! :)  How did meeting dads mission president go? A crazy coincidence happened with this other hermana today.  We were at the temple and randomly this guy who doesnt speak any english comes up and asks for a Sister Mendlove and she was with us.  He went on to tell us that he was one of her dads companions!! Crazy right?? He served in southern peru i think.  I just thought that was super cool :)

Thats so crazy about the race! Way to go amber!!! Im super jealous.  That sounds like a race id actually train for hahaha :)

So last week was the only week we could send pictures! Which makes me so sad! We technically werent supposed to because theyve never let anyone but the guy who was monitoring us said we could so i think it was just kind of a miracle that we even could that one day which i am super greatful for.  We can defintily still recieve pictures though so send as many as you would like :)

I am doing so great! My room is pretty much like a college dorm room.  It has 3 sets of bunk beds and 6 closets.  Were not allowed to take pictures in the room or i wouldve sent one. Ill try and sneak one though :)  There are 5 other girls in my room and i love them all so much! Most are from utah but one is from hawaii and one is from rhode island.  Theyre just the greatest.  Im going to cry so hard when i leave here and dont get to see them anymore.  They are all going to Cusco besides me and my companion.  The showers are alright.  Theyre just like showers in stalls but they work :)  The laundry system is pretty good too.  They just have a bunch of washers and dryers to use so it goes pretty good.  My clothes arent destroyed yet :) Yes i see mckenzi all the time! Shes in my zone so every prep time and physical activity we have together.  And yes i got your package!! Thank you so much!!! Im so glad i brought so many clothes actually.  You go through them so fast!!! Thank you so much really! And tell grandpa the pine nuts made my whole day! It reminded me so much of home :) Ill try to write them a little note and tell them but just tell them again for me :)

Tyler is doing great! He says he probably has a baptism coming up!! And he might get to be the one to baptize her!! So cool right???? Gosh i love that boy! Im super excited for him :) 

So this week was pretty much just like last week haha.  They dont ever differ too much.  I had class all day every day haha :)  We are continuing to teach our ´´investigators´´  and im getting lots better at it! I can teach a whole lesson in spanish pretty much now! Its super rough sounding but at least i can get some points across haha :)  Gosh i just love peru :)

I wish i could read brittons blog! I for sure will once i leave the MTC but i cant while were here which i dont enjoy... So is he doing better? I put his name in the temple today. 

We get to go to the temple every week and it was temple was so good today.  Its so cool listening to it all in spanish. We have the option of listening to it with a headset in english but its funner in spanish. I can pretty much understand everything too!  When you guys come pick me up we should stop by in lima and do a session :)

So they have this place called the temple store and they have nativity sets!!!! They have so many different ones though!!  Should i just buy a couple different ones and send to you? Theyre all so cool but i dont know which one i like the most! Theyre not too expensive either.  Maybe like 40 soles which is like 15 bucks? It just might be hard to send them to you but i could probably figure it out :) Just let me know!!

Well that is pretty much it down here.  The CCM is such an amazing place.  I love it SO MUCH!!  Oh and a member of the first quorm of the 70 is coming on sunday! Im really excited for that.  I actually joined the CCM chior for it too so thatll be fun i think :)  I am having such amazing experiences here. I LOVE IT.  Im gonna miss it but im so excited to get to Piura! Im half way through my time here so its coming soooo fast!!!

I love you and miss you so much!!! Keep me updated with everyone because my brothers arent the best at writing me emails hahaha :)

Talk to you next week! Love you tons!
