Dang I am so tired today! I dont even know why hahah! Did a good workout on the track today. the neighborhood we live in is so gorgoes. Our apartment needs some work. I almost got us in a car wreck today. So that was not good. We had some good lessons today. And in personal study I was able to learn some good stuff about patience. Hopefully the stuff I learned helps hahah

Wow today did not go as planned whatsoever. We got a call from ghetto APs This morning saying that me and hna Crawford had go be at a meeting g for all new missionaries who are training or have a new trainee so we had go unfortunately so there went most of our day. But it was good I got to see all of my friends like Hna Serrano, Hna Madsen, Hna Snar! It was so fun! There were so many new missionaries! 26 in fact! Plus, we had panda for lunch so that was a bonus! Me and hna crawford had a good talk in the car. She has been having a lot of stress about all her things she has to do as STL and as a trainer. In Fact, she did almost pass out this morning from all that stress. So, I just helped her remember that she can do these things and that she was called for a reason and that I am here for whatever she needs. It was good I felt like we could finally connect and just get on the same page to help hna gastelum. Plus, we got to talk to prezy Jones today about some things so that was super cool. We only had 1 lesson today and we got bashed. So not super fulfilling that way. But the lord will consecrate if I can lay all my fish and loaves at his feet. Also, guy from english class brought us crepes

I am so so tierd but it is good because that means we worked hard today! So we were in English and Spanish work today because the STLs had mlc. So I was with the 2 little newbies. And they are such great missionaries. I learned so so much from them. They truly just blow me away so much! We went crazy and we had so many lessons between Our 2 áreas. Plus, we actuallyar ate a member's house today and her 2 grandsons were there, and it reminded me about maleck when he was a little boy. Oh, and getting the pictures from the letter madsen wrote mom and dad was just such a true miracle. We didn't make any new friends today I don't think but. It was still so good. Sometimes I feel like hna gastelum gets left out just because of the language but she is just so quiet. So, I do my best to involve her. We also went to institute tonight and it made me miss college for sure. I can't believe that is what I was doing a year ago, and now I am here. It is truly such a gift, and I am starting to catch a glimpse of it.

I hope hunting season is going well! today was a good day! It was fast Sunday. I accidentally slept in. I got to bare my testimony. I messed up a little but that is ok! We had 2 friends come to church! WOOTWOOT. Kinda a slow day but we ate so much food for dinner, and it was delicious but very spicy. My first zone leader came back to visit the mission with his family too! So that was exciting. And after dinner we rushed to the church cause we thought we were going to throw up!
