I am absolutely having an awesome time!! This week it rained twice :D no sun for us :D Oh it just makes me happy! You'd think that the rain would make people feel bad for us so they'd listen but nope! They reject! Oh well!! We have had so much this week..aka so many meetings! We had a zone meeting and I was able to see everyone from the MTC!! It was SOO fun!! We have all grown so much since, I could see it in everyone! :) Joy of having the authority to share it and grow from it :) I also went on my first exchange this week with the other sisters in my zone. I slept in a barn...checked off of the bucket list :p haha that's where they're house is! But it was in the country area and SOO pretty!!! There were horses everywhere and trees and lotsss of land...welcome to Texas Sister Tilton! Big change since all I see is city! But it was so fun! Sister Napper, my exchange comp, was so fun and she's been out for a year! She and I visited lots of people and guess what?? Dun, Dun, Dun....we were in a CAR!!!!!!!!! :D ohh man it seemed like forever since I had seen out of the front windshield! But I could tell that Sister Taylor and I are so blessed that we walk everywhere cuz we are fit and sister napper and her comp dont walk very fast....apparently we walk as if we are in a triatholon! Haha yay for that! :)
We got three new investigators this week :D and one of the guys-Danny, all of them are guys again, is super interested and he wants so badly to know the truth in the world. Well my dear friend Danny, you have met the right sistaas!! :) It's so awesome to see the light grow with each of our investigators, although 2 are going to church every sunday. We have been having a spiritual/blessed time :) Sister Taylor and I have been having so much fun and loving singles ward! Yipee!
Okay so interesting fact, I was emailing Doris saying that I have met everyone from all over the world but no one from Peru..but I went shopping at this world market place and they had mangos from Peru..they were 40 cents - we died! And then on my exchange I saw Llamas!!! Whaaa?? So there's bound to be some peruvians here! I heard from Larissa though! She's not dead..yay! :) Glad to hear she's having fun in Utah! Me and my companion have a spanish dictionary that we use all the time lol we find so many spanish speaking people here but dont know how to talk to them >:/ frustrating! So our vocab of espanol is progressing! :D
Wow it doesnt seem like I've written very much but Im beginning to forget my weeks...ahh! But I will send pics! Love you all so much!! Give my Kizzy kisses for me :D

PS I have a funny little story I thought I'd share! So we had an appointment in the morning with a recent convert and when we were getting ready I had my tights on and didnt feel like taking them off so I asked Sister Taylor if I could borrow one of her Maxis (Referring to the long skirts) and she, for some reason that didnt click in her head, and gave me a maxi pad...we couldnt stop laughing!! Ohh sometimes she doesnt think lol but I love her! haha :D We have our blonde moments...
