Trust me I know! When me and Jason were still together Mondays were my favorite, now that I am a missionary, still my favorites. :) Haha. My week went really well. I am not sick at all thank the good Lord! Everyone on our zone is having struggles finding investigators! We only found three this week! My companion is great and healthy. We didn't have anything too exciting happen this week. 

The Earthquake... Everything was moving. We went outside I thought it was so crazy. It was so strong, nothing like the 5 in Mexico. There was another one this week but was almost nothing. It was at night, I was giving numbers to our DL. 

Wow that sounds like a really full and busy house! (had a bunch of people over for Mariah's b-day party) Yikes! Haha.  I love that silly somber little girl. I'm glad she had a good birthday (I ate ice cream on her birthday haha). There is also a letter for her in the mail. Also let me know when you get my package. I think the kids will like their gifts. :)

Lunes... I got a really sweet email from Jacob. I planed a ton of minute to win it games for our Zone to play after we wrote. It was amazing! They all loved it and thought it was so much fun. We did Elders vs. Sisters. The Elders won. :( Haha. It was great. We had a lesson with a family, and man Satan sure is working hard. We were at this part so spiritual in the lesson and the lights go out! We didn't have the spirit there after that because everyone is trying to find their phone/candles/etc. Haha. It was a little scary to walk home in but I remembered the blessing I was given that said angels were protecting me and I felt a lot better. 

Martes... We had a really awesome lesson with Karen and Enoch. I just love them two they are so stinkin cute. They're working at the Word of Wisdom. We had them put goals for this week to stop drinking and smoking. We also had a lesson with our less active RM. It was really good. I drank coffee! Coffee of maiz that is. Haha it had a slighty weird taste to it. But yeah, and we got him an interview with the bishop for Thursday! Also I got a really hilarious comment "Que sobrosa y yo con hambre"... Guys here are a handful or two...

Wednesday... We had a really good day I ate ice cream because it was Mariah's birthday. Nothing Spectacular happened. Just a normal day. 

Jueves... Our RM had his interview! Everything went really awesome. He told us he wanted to come back and he asked for a suit jacket and a tie for the Stake conference (Saturday session) that he could go to.  

Viernes... We got a suit jacket from Edgar,it was his only black one and it had so many holes on the inside part. I spent two hours sewing it up that night and I still was not finished! We had a investigator drop us. That was really sad. The other ward that we share a building with had an activity, which we were invited too. We invited a few people to that, we went and no one was there. That was sad. We also bought our RM a really nice tie. 

Sábado... We were contacting and asking people for directions and we were talking with this one guy and he just kept speaking English to me, however I continued speaking Spanish. He asked me how old I was, I asked what he thought, 28! He thought I was 28! I told him no, he then guessed 26, then 22. WHAT!?Ay no! So the part that was the hardest for me was when we went to pick up our RM to bring him to the Joaquin's (for a ride to the Stake Center) along with his new tie and suit jacket that I spent another hour sewing. He tells us he can't go. I just stared at him. I told him he had 5 minutes to go change. He told us he couldn't. I just stared. He told me to say something, not just stare. I looked at my companion and told her we'd be late if we didn't go now. I almost cried. I was looking forward to this, his first time back in a church like setting in at least a year and a half. Plus 3 hours of fixing the suit jacket and at least 45 minutes trying to find a really nice tie for him. I was so sad, when people asked where he was my companion had to tell them because I couldn't talk without getting sad or really irritated. But Fam. Joaquin gave us a ride to and from the conference and bought us pupusas and hot cocoa after. It was so great.

Domingo... I finally forgave our RM. We went to the Stake conference and I loved it. Then Hno. and Hna. Joaquin invited us over for lunch. It was so much fun. I loved it. We had a lesson with a drunk guy (happens more than you'd think). Also Carlos' baptism. I was so happy! I just about cried when he hugged Rodrigo (who baptized him) in the font. It was so cute! 

I really am so happy to be serving the Lord here, I love you so much mom!

Siempre,

Kelibell. :)

We are both doing much better thank the Good Lord! (She and her companion had both been feeling bad last week). How crazy, I think that's the talk I printed out for him last week! I gave him that letter on Friday, we'll see him tomorrow and find out how that went. (I had sent her a quote from a talk by Elder Richard G. Scott for the RM they are seeing/teaching. The quote says, "If your life is in disarray and you feel uncomfortable and unworthy to pray because you are not clean, don't worry. He already knows about all of that. He is waiting for you to kneel in humility and take the first few steps. Pray for strength"). My week went great. Yeah, Edgar is wonderful! I lent him my camera so he could send you photos of Max's baptism. The other man in white is an RM and a friend of Max (Carlos Melendez). I was so stinkin' happy Saturday! Haha, I think you can tell in my cheesy grin! Haha. 

WOW! I live right next to a hospital here if you want to apply. ;) Haha. I am glad you do have work though. It's just really awesome that you have your job and that it's a good job, I feel a little bad. I feel like you are working so hard because I am not there.  

I am so very thankful for all your support mom. Really, I am. I know I am not the easiest daughter. And I am sometimes a little stubborn, but thank you. (I asked her if she feels her dad's spirit with her or if she dreams about him. I don't feel him so much around me. I get to share my experience and my testimony of the plan of salvation. It's a wonderful way to help people understand that they can have this type of happiness in their lives too. They can have hope to see their family again. I think about him at least three time a week. 

Monday... I survived a 7.4 earthquake. Whatup! We had an awesome FHE with our RM. 

Tuesday... man we did exchanges. I worked with Hermana Ray. So our phone died. It just stopped working. I tried charging it and everything. I talked with my comp (hna. Azurdia) for about 20 seconds before it died. So at 10:20 I had the nearest member to our house knocking on the door (in the rain) with his phone. It was my DL. I talked to him for like 5 seconds and the phone cut out. So I didn't think anything. I just took 9mg of my sleeping stuff and went to bed. At 11:43 I wake up to what sounded like E. Shreiver yelling "Sister Mims!" So I get up and look out of our window (2nd floor) And Elder S is in my window! My DL got worried and called the Assistants to president. They broke my window trying to break in to the house to see if we were okay. I will never forget the night Elder S "prince charming"ed my house. Haha. He climbed up the rails, in the photos.

Wednesday...I had a really creepy guy saying "me gusta" and "Que bella". I ended up raising my voice at him when he tried to touch me. I loudly declared "No me toque." (do not touch me!)  My comp. and the member we were with we just laughing, He had completely ignored them, just focusing on me... CREEPY! Ew. 

Thursday... I hit 6th months! WOW! We had a really great Zone meeting! We all had some type of disability. Me and my companion had our legs tied together (like a 3 legged race). I was blind folded. I had my hand tied behind my back. Others had it a lot worse. What we had to do was work together to find the "people" (candy). It was so neat and a cool way to look at things.

Friday... I had my palm read by a member who once learned from a witch. Apparently I will only have one son. I will have to choose between two guys to marry and according to him Jason is waiting for me. I will also be very successful in my career. Haha. We also got Max interviewed and okay'ed for the baptism! I was so stinking happy. We also had a FHE with Presidente Hintze. I still forgot to get a photo. I am so sorry. But our RM came to it. He really enjoyed it and we had a lot of fun. He's a really cool guy and I can really see a change in him.

Saturday... WE HAD A BAPTISM!!!! It was so awesome. Max got baptized by his friend. It was so adorable after he came up out of the water Carlos patted him on the back and they both smiled. It was so adorable and you could feel the spirit so strong.

Sunday... Our bishop's son Rodrigo is going to CANADA for his mission. The mission right above Montana. He'll be speaking English. How awesome. Also the Joaquin family gave us dinner. It was delicious. 

I LOVE the mission so much. I love you so much. I love you mom. I love you so much!!!!!!!!

 Siempre tu hija,

Kelibell

I am fine, I had no desire to write a ton anyways. Haha. And we can write back and forth as long as we write our parents and our mission president... and it's not distracting. So we're set. :)

Oh my gosh. I can totally see that happening. I don't know how many times I have done something like that with my companion. Let's do this. Not now. What time would work better for you.... Awkward. Also, awkward is one of the few English words my companion knows... We use it a lot. Haha. 

Good. We are now meeting with the RM every other day (His free days) and he will be coming to church this next Sunday! Teaching is great! We are going to have a baptism this Saturday with a really awesome investigator named Max (he's also super cool because he loves Batman). I am a little sick with a head cold and my comp. has some type of cold that just makes you feel really achy... we thought it was chicengunya (a type of Dengue) but she hasn't had a fever so she's just weak, light headed, has a cough, and is tired. So we haven't worked a ton. No new foods... that I can think of at least. Wait.. yeah. I tried this sandwhich thing which had beets, pickled beets, chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, some type of salsa. It's called "panes con pollo". It was pretty good... but very different. The dragon fruit is really good and I can get about 20 for $1 so I enjoy eating those too. But I am sending a video in my Christmas package that shows you how you eat it. But yeah. Peel off the "hairy" stuff and eat the fleshy part. But you have to be careful because there's an almond size pit in the middle. 

It has been rainy and windy lately. And this is the reason that I have a cold. BOO! Haha. It is so hot during the day! SO STINKIN HOT. But then it rains. And you get wet and you are just freezing and your skirt is sticking to you... and it is just awesome! It gets cool at night plus I sleep with my fan so I love using my blanket. 

I know you are proud of me mom. Thank you. It is so weird to think in a year... I will be home. What...? That does not sound at all right. I am pretty sure I end October 10th 2015. I really don't think I will extend my mission. It is very rare when they let a missionary extend. Plus I really think I will be happy with my service and I won't feel the need to extend... also I doubt my body will be able to do any more than a year and a half. Haha. 

I have a picture... but not on my camera. I will try and get one of them. My companion loved the Halloween bag you packed for her. She will be here until February of 2015. She loves to sing in English and she thinks that I am bilingual. Which was adorable yesterday... because we've been sick we were sitting around and I was learning different words in Spanish. so I would yell out a word to see if I could say it right and she would correct me if necessary. I yelled out the word Biligue (?) and she said "Una persona que puede hablar dos idiomas... entonce usted". (A person who can speak two languages, that's you). It was so awesome. I realized I talk Spanish at least 70 hours a week... if not more. Which is just kind of like WOW. 

So I am celebrating this week SIX MONTHS IN THE MISSION ANNNNNNNNNNNND MY THIRD BAPTISM! 

I am really excited. I love you so much momma. Thank you for my package. I love the shirts! They are perfect. I love you so much and I promise more photos next week. :)

I just sent out a letter talking about my general conference experience. I did get to watched all of them. AND IN ENGLISH! That was so awesome. For Saturday I loved Jorg's talk and as well as Callister. Sunday just the whole evening session I just loved. 

Jessika and her baby will be in my prayers. I am okay with hearing that. I like to know who I have to pray and fast for. 

My new companion is from Guatemala. Her name is Hermana Azurdia. She's really an angel. There is a ton of disobedience. I have seen some, but I have been blessed to have good companions. Trust me, I don't have a problem with that. I work hard to be obedient. We can email back and forth, I was informed wrongly. :)

I miss all the beautiful colors of fall! I will never complain about the cold or the heat ever again... I have learned that I love them both. 
No investigators came for conference, and the RM didn't either. It's just hard to find him sometimes. I think I will try to call him again tonight. 

So I got my package this morning. Thank you so much! I think that the Twizzlers are already almost gone! I have also shared. I can't promise to share lifesavers nor the gushers in the Halloween bag... but I will share some things. Thank you for the shirts, those will really come in handy. I do want to ask you for a photo of me and you. It's on my facebook and it's you and me from when we were in St. Ignace at the Macinaw grill. I would love two copies of that photo, please and thank you. 

This week has been really amazing. Lots of work, lots of saying goodbye, and a lot of just fun. I don't have my agenda so I can't tell everything, like usual. But one day I saw fireworks! It was so pretty. We stopped and just looked at them for like two minutes. Also I heard the song firework on the bus... also made me think of you! (Not a bad way thinking about you) 

I had a interview with President... I told him I was worried I wouldn't go to Belize for health reasons. He laughed, smiled and said "Sister Mims, don't you worry. You will touch soil in Belize at least for one change in your mission." YAY! That made me so very happy. So I am expecting in the February change. 

So yeah. I am pretty darn happy. I am loving my mission and I love the people here. I know this letter won't be very long and I am sorry, I just have no desire to write right now. However I am going to send a little email to my THREE sisters who DID NOT write me... those little stinkers. 

I love you so much mommy!
