what we wish would reveal what is in the letter…

Dear Fam,

Really have to be pretty brief because we went to acujutla today to eat at a seafood place (yeah, you can imagine how excited I was about that) by the beach…  It was fun, but I have at last gotten my first sunburn. Wahoo!!!  I gave my sunscreen to a lady in the ward who super needed it, and now I just have a lotion that’s probably spf 5 which works for most of the time since I’ve been out in the sun every day for 6 mths… it’s like your skin gets an immunity.

Rachel, how is your new companionship?   Where is Sister Lamb from?  What is your favorite thing about her?
Hna Lamb is from Panama, but her parents are American. So, she speaks both languages fluently and actually she almost never speaks to me in Spanish, but we’re working on that. Her Spanish was really hard to understand at first because she talks really fast and eats her S’s. I like her cause she’s super bold and we don’t mess around. Continue reading “shooort”

Hey ya’ll

Why does getting married disqualify Rene for citizenship?
I don’t know. I don’t make the dumb laws, and I really wasn’t worried about any of them until David got deported and then all of a sudden it was an issue with everyone. Sheila found out this weekend that she’s pregnant so, that might change things? Continue reading “Hey ya’ll”

La Historia de La Paty

So what happened with the revelations guy?

Me and Hna Estrada were walking by and this guy is like with a crazy grumbly smokey voice, “Hey! Can I have one of those little books?”  And we were like, Okay…  I think he was drinking coffee or smoking or something so Hna Estrada gave him a pamphlet for the Word of Wisdom, and he said thanks, and that he likes to read, and “do you have any other ones?”  So we gave him two or more pamphlets and tried to start talking to him about what they were about, but he keeps talking about how he likes to read, Continue reading “La Historia de La Paty”

Hola

Hey Family.

Not a whole lot to report this week, and I was planning on writing everyone letters but then Sis Falcon had a meeting yesterday and getting my hair cut took longer than I thought it would. Haha, I finally got my hair trimmed for the first time in 4 months. Oh missions make you so lazy about the most random things. I buy fancy shampoos now but don’t take the time to actually do anything with my hair. Oh well, hopefully it will be ridiculously long by the time I get back. Anyways… Continue reading “Hola”

Oh so many tacos.

Questions:
Have you gotten your Valentine’s packages?

YES!! Thanks so much for the camera!  And also for the peeps. I put scriptures about love on all the Valentines and put them in all the sister’s cubbies in the vc. Sister Falcon also told me to tell you, “Thank you very much.” She was very grateful for the card 🙂
I was wondering what Valentine’s day would be like on the mission, especially because it was supposed to be my P-day, and they planned a mission wide meeting from 8:30-1:00 pm. The meeting ended up being watching 17 Miracles and eating lasagna. After which instead of being productive like I’d been planning on, I slept for 3 hours. So lazy. So good. Annd Sis Falcon gave me a box with Hello Kitty post-it’s, stickers, and pen. Woot! I was not organized enough to have planned anything for her… Ha, and she had to use the help of my mission “family”.
