A few Questions and Answers

• Did you get the package from lauren and mary yet?

NO, since everything is sent to the mission home I have to wait til the zone leaders bring it out. SO Either I wont get it til the next transfer or maybe next week when they come. Sorry, it totally probably already arrived! the same is for letters they all go to the mission home since I cant get mail at the apartment. So yeah I get everything in a bunch. But its good.

Some ideas for my christmas package: If you could send knee highs that would be great. It is going to get REALLY hot here and to wear knee highs would be the best by far. Also peanut butter- haha they dont have it here. maybe just like a small jar. Also some perfume. Degree sells some body sprays that are like 3 bucks. And my companion said that when it gets cold i will die without long johns. so if you could send some. I dont think my leggings will be sufficient.

• Do you shop for groceries on your pday?

Yes we do.

• Do you and your companion buy food, cook and eat together, or do you each do your own thing?

Yes my comp and i shop cook and eat together. I really like the system, but not all companions do it that way so we´ll see.

• How often do you get fed by members?

WE eat with the members about twice a week. Always with the Branch president on Tuesdays and Elsa an investigator on thursdays.

• Have you worn your jumper yet? = )

yes i have! once. But i am waiting til it gets really hot to wear it more, so i can just wear a t shirt underneath. There are extra rules here about clothes than there were in the mtc so I am having a little bit of difficulties figuring some things out...but hopefully it will be ok. I have to tuck every shirt in. Whatever its fine. But I guess I still wish I had more button up shirts. Maybe I can find some here to buy.

• How long has your companion been out and where is she from.

the next transfer is Hermana burns last transfer. She is awesome. She has helped me a lot.
She is from texas. she is a ballerina. She went to byu for 6 years and will finish up this next year. she is 25, and beautiful and kind. We get along really well!! I am so scared to not have her as my companion anymore! hopefully we are together again next transfer in Rafaela.

• Is her hand OK by now? is she wearing a cast, or what?

she had little brace things on her fingers and they are off now. We went to the hospital for her fingers and its social medicine. BAD NEWS. Never ever ever vote for social medicine. Her fingers dont seem to have healed correctly. SO I dont know. But i think she might be ok.

• And how are you doing, health wise. Are you feeling good and keeping those headaches under control?

I had a headache yesterday acutally but I think its gone now- didnt last too long and I think it was also because I am getting sick. But i think that is passing too already. Lets hope. the weather has been really strange here! really hot and really cold!

My spanish is improving but it is still difficult often to say things. But the Spanish here really is very different. but I think it is very beautiful, I was just talking today about how I am so glad I got called here because the spanish is the best here. and the people are so great. I just need to learn to talk more. Because honestly when you learn a new language, Often in the translation the personality gets lost. and I feel like that happened to me. Im kind of bland. I hope i can help people see im fun and good! hahah it is really hard...but its ok.
