HEY Y’ALL!
Yikes Mom... I’m sorry but I’ve become the best bug killer!! Ha ha ha But I’ll let the flies be just in case you get your wish and get to be a “fly on the wall” and watch me. Ha ha
MY BABBYYY BOY LUKIE!!! NOOOOO!!! What is going on?? PROM??? DRIVING??? I almost fainted!! WHAT IS GOING ON?? Why is he growing up soo fast!!! It’s only been 3 months! WHAT!! He is just soo handsome! I’m going to cry. I’m taking that photo and going to print it right after this!!! Thank you Lukie for being the best little brother ever!! I just love you so much! NO GIRLS!!! Who was his date? I want a picture.. Grrr......
Okay my health is awesome Mom!! STOP STRESSING!!! You don’t need to ask me every week if I’m healthy! Ha ha ha I promise I will tell you if I am sick. Thanks for being concerned though :)
I do use my Hydroflask every now and then but I don’t really need my water filter. We have good water and we just buy bottled water when we are out so we can get COLD water!
I am SO proud of Luke!! I know he will make the team! He has always had a natural gift when it comes to baseball, football, basketball... okay everything. Ha ha ha YOU GO SLUGGER!!! Whoaa! Wish I could be there to cheer for him. :( Ha ha ha You can so tell that I am a cheerleader at heart. At futbol here I am cheering and everyone looks at me like.. CHILL SIS KAVA! Ha ha ha whatever. I just get so EXCITED!! Wow, I have missed football though! There is one member in my ward who watched the super bowl and was calling and giving us updates. Ha ha That was awesome of him.
I’m sorry you were sick mommy!! Wish I could have been home to help with things but I’m glad you have daddy to help you ;) I’ll pray for your health! Hey! Have you gone to the eye doc and all the other doctor stuff you were putting off till I left?? YOU’D BETTER DO THAT!
This week was pretty chill, nothing super exciting. We did have changes but Sister Patterson and I are still together. THANK GOODNESS!! That means she will end her mission with me!! SO in mission terms, I am going to kill my mom and my mission Dad too because my district leader is going to end his mission at the end of this transfer too. They are my mission parents. Sad… but I’m excited for them to start a new chapter of their lives. I’m so excited that I get to stay here!! YAYY!!
Don’t hate me for saying this Mom and Dad but I already know that at the end of my mission I am not going to want to leave. A member told us this week about a sweet deal for English speakers. They can come to El Salvador and work. They get free housing and a car and they make bank! Well, for El Salv standards. All you do is just teach English. Ha ha ha She told us to pray about it… sooo.
Our Zone had the loads of changes this week. Pretty much all new missionaries. They white washed like 6 areas. Crazy! Our zone meeting was completely different. We have new zone leaders and all but I’m super excited!! It’s an awesome zone!! Our zone leaders Elder Johnson and Elder Evans are awesome!! I’m just sad cuz Sister Hirschi got transferred. :( We got a new sister from Las Vegas, Sis Jepson and she is super sweet.
Okay as for this week...
I started teaching the youth a hula! It’s soo funny!! Ha ha ha I made up a dance to Lilo and Stich. The thing is, I have to keep everything super basic or they can’t do it. But it’s okay, it’s fun. They all love it!!! The ward is loving the LUAU idea. They are all jumping on board to help out!! So nice. It’s going to be on March 7th. SO.. on this night just remember that there is a big group of El Salvadorians trying to be Hawaiians. The Relief Society wants me to teach them a hula too... soooo pray for me. I’m going to need it. Ha ha ha Thanks for the Pandora idea.. that’s genius!! Yes, our chapel does has wifi so I’ll ask the Bishop about that!! I’m just worried that Pandora won’t work here cuz it didn’t work in Italy.. so Vamos a ver!!
I’ve been fed some questionable things this week. We had a soup with who knows what in it, but it tasted good, so whatever. Haha Also, a thing here, which I don’t get, is even when it’s the hottest day they eat soup! I’m like sweating buckets at the dinner table eating soup! It’s okay though cuz so is my comp! How come no one else is?!?! It’s all good!
The Calderons are doing awesome!! Jose, the son, came out and worked with us the other day. He is hilarious. He can speak English and its so funny cuz he mumbles little sarcastic things and it cracks us up!! Reminds me of Josh. Ha ha We bought him pupusas after for his hard work. It’s so awesome cuz he wants to be a missionary!! We spoke with one lady who is Catholic and she was just throwing all of this anti- Book of Mormon stuff at us and it made me cry to see Jose testify of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and he explained it to her. I was like.. "HE LISTENS TO US!!!" It just helped me realize, like wow, I’m actually making a difference! Which is so nice when you have a rough week. Carlos and his wife went on a date!!! Carlos is preparing for the Preisthood!!! Yayy!! Jose is going to seminary and Karla went to Institute this week!! SHE LOVED IT!!! So all is going good with the familia Calderon!!! Thanks for all of your prayers! I know that they can feel them.
Hey Mom, I haven’t gotten your letter, but keep them coming. I’ll get them. It’s probably in the mission office. Hopefully this Thursday I’ll get them. I don’t think they bring them unless you have 2 or more. So I’ll eventually get them and I know I’ll get them when I’ll need them most. So no worries!!
I’m so happy for Ana!! Where is she going to serve her mission?? When does she leave? Which MTC will she be going to? She is going to love her mission!!!
One last thing... I learned more about the local gangs this week. I love learning about them and then noticing them more in the streets. I learned that all the gangsters wear the same shoes. So now I look at everyone’s shoes!! I’m pretty sure that everyone we talk to is a gangster. BUT THEY ARE ALL SOOO NICE!!! I think what I’ve learned the most about this is that even if they are involved in a gang or have done bad things before, I don’t care. I mean, I’m very careful! But I just have so much love for them!! ALL OF THEM!! EVERY SINGLE ONE!! I think about our Heavenly Father and how He knows EVERY bad thing WE have ever done and yet He still loves us SOO MUCH!! Nothing is going to change His love for us! I am soo blessed that for 18 moths I get to feel just a little of the love He has for these people. WOW!! I feel like screaming on top of a volcano "I LOVE LIFE!!" Not in a “hippy” way but in a “I’m so grateful” way!!!
Okay well that’s all for this week. I LOVE YOU ALL!! Stop growing up Luke and Sophia! Sissy… keep up the hard work, it doesn’t go unnoticed. Josh... stop being so handsome!! Dad... I LOVE YOU!! THANK YOU!! Mom.... Thanks for being my bestie for the eternities!
Btw... Where’s Maui and Kim at?? Do they get my emails? Can I have their emails? I MISS them.
Oh yeah! Please tell Auntie Peta thank you for the email and thank Sister Bertino for the birthday money! I appreciate that they are thinking about me.
I love you all!!! KEEP SMILING!! There’s nothing to be sad about!!! LIFE IS GOOD!
