Hola mi famila.  First off, I'll be back on at four o clock.  Second, yes I did get my package and it made my whole week, especially the jerky because honestly the food kinda stinks here :).  So the camera either needs a new battery or the right charger so there wont be any pictures for a while sadly.  Well, I found out our investigator is our teacher so that's fun.  Let's see -  fun things about the MTC - the tie trade... so apparently all my ties are incredibly amazing and everyone wants them but they can't get them because I only have five so they offer me like five ties for one tie which is funny.  I met this ginormous man named Elder Sia who is Tongan and can draw amazing tribal stuff, so I gave him one of my ties to draw on and it looks amazing.  I'll send you a picture when I can.  I had him put three flowers on.  They mean honor and respect for woman.  The first one is for love  - this flower is for mommy, the second one is for courage - this one is for Tori.  The third one is for beauty  - this one is for Tessy to remind me of my three biggest fans.  I love you guys lots.  I'll be back at four if you wanna chat.

its almost christmas but its 70 degrees hehe

This week was amazing! Time seems to fly past.  It's very emotional.  You make amazing friends and then they leave the next day and you'll never see them again with just pictures to remember them.  Today I received the record of my forefathers. The book of the CCM (MTC). It's a journal that has been passed down in Zone Five from the very beginning of the MTC.  I am the lucky one who gets to write my experiences in it. I kinda feel like Nephi it's pretty sweet I'll send pictures of it later.  I went to the Mexico City Temple today and it was gorgeous!  I also found out that I am in the world's third largest city - crazy, eh? Last night our mountain behind us lit on fire because during Christmas they celebrate by making bombs and launching them in the air  - no joke! They're kinda like fireworks except no lights just boom. I love you all and pray for ya nightly.

Called to Serve ha ha - Latinos know how to make us elders look good!

Tell  the Cedar missionary's I love their guts and I use their pamphlet they gave me everyday to translate ha ha i love you sooooooo much mommy. District is amazing.  I'll send more pics.

The hermana in the pink is from Cedar City.  She went to Canyon View High School and knows everyone I know haha.
