I'm doing really well. I did get my ghetto stitches out and dang it! It sure did hurt me. But I really feel so much better. I think I'm at about 85%. I can't open my mouth too wide but I can eat normal food again. Which is awesome. I got a blessing from Elder Tague the night before and he told me in it that my mouth would heal very quick and I think in comparison to a lot of stories I've been told I think it was true. I've healed up nice. I've been back into normal missionary mode since last Monday I haven't missed a day except to get the stitches out. #killingit
Success in the new area? Yeah we have 4 people with date two of which are really positive and came to church yesterday. They're a little young but I think they'd do awesome as members. The Santa Elena branch is super small. Yesterday there were 52 people at church. We're trying to work really hard on that. We just got a new branch president yesterday... our last one called it quits and resigned. So please the next time you go put down President Moody in the temple. He's only been a member for 2 years and I think he feels a little overwhelmed. So I think that would be very helpful. We have a few good strong members... and the rest we are working really hard with them.

Rachel told me they got the place. I think that's cool that they're finally making that step... they've done a few things out of order but now they're doing good. jaja. That's good that the Elders are doing some service for a part member family. #gettingthoselessons Yes feed the missionaries. We got fed yesterday and it was amazing. 

For packages I would like beef jerky. Honestly candy and fun stuff is always nice but I really just love beef jerky. Also some really nice pens would be cool too. 

But things are going super swell here in Santa Elena. I love the people... I miss Corozal a ton... but I love it here.There are a lot of hills I'm getting used to walking my bike a lot. We also had an awesome mini multi zone. I LOVED IT! The Hinster (President Hintze) always rocks his zone conferences. I always leave on a spiritual high. I'm so excited about working right now. Me and Sister B are going to kill it here in Santa Elena. It was also nice to see a lot of people there at the conference... but so embarrassing that I had these huge bruises on my face. Thank goodness for make up. I was able to cover them up a bit. 

Keep praying for my poor legs. Sometimes we have to push those bikes up the hills (faster way to get down them and move on to the next appointment). But my legs will be very nice to go home and put on a nice Swimsu- I mean... jeans. Because I will be freezing. Jajaja. 

I'm glad you have enjoyed living by yourself. I thought it would be hard on you. Sorry I'll have to ruin that in about 4 months and make you a non empty nester. Sorry. Jaja. 

I'm just speechless for what I should talk about. I mean really... this week has just been so crazy. Me and my companion have a goal to invite everyone to baptism with a date in every first lesson we have. It's been crazy. We've invited 62 people to baptized this week... 57 of them with date. It's insane but it helps you know the persons concern and also you get to know how legit people are about learning more about the message of the restored gospel. 

We have this young lady (she's 22) that we're teaching and she is awesome. She accepted to get baptized and we're working with her to get baptized on the 19th. She's so cute and has this young 3 year old daughter. I think she is so prepared for this gospel. It makes me so happy to be a missionary. 

Then we're working with a 14 year old boy... which usually I wouldn't want to baptize (for age reasons) but he is so smart and came to church all by himself! Which really just impressed me I know full grown people who live a lot closer to the church than him who won't even go. He's really awesome.

Apart from them a lot of people are just super new investigators that we're trying to work with. 

I gave a really awesome talk... If I say so myself... yesterday. I ended up having to talk for about 30 minutes because the youth speaker only spoke for like 8 and it was just me and her... but everyone seemed to like it. Which is nice. 

We also went to this awesome BBQ on Saturday for the Moody family. They are super awesome. I love that family so much. They remind me of a mix of the Domino family, Paul Hering's family and a few friends I have. They are so funny and so great.

I also started counting how many dogs bark at us in a day... I lose count so very easily (there are many) but for this week I think it was about 36. So we're doing good with that goal. 

Jaja. Well I have nothing else. I LOVE YOU MOM! (Tell everyone else I love them too!)

I am super ticked no one even talked with you to say it went fine. Sorry about that. (Keli's wisdom teeth were impacted and causing her much pain the last few months, so she had oral surgery last Thursday to have them all removed). Everything went fine and I was super funny the whole rest of the day... surprised? Of course not. I'm always funny.

So this week...

I am now companions with Sister Baires. Surprise! We are opening an area in Cayo... it's a little town called Santa Elena. Woooo! So yeah. That's fun. I like it so far. I miss the heck out of my Corozal peeps. But I am adjusting well. I like it here... but it's been very rainy and I haven't had much time to go out and work... which is hard.

I have no idea about anything that talks about my homecoming. I just know that next transfer I will get the call asking me which airport I want to fly into. Which I will answer Bishop airport in Flint. :)

The Tagues took really great care of me. I'm very thankful for them. I'm excited for this next week to actually start working and learning our area. So yeah, sorry we really haven't done much for me to talk about. Sorry.

But I love you Mom!

So I'm glad you stopped freaking out. Everything is taken care of. Just be happy I will be better after this week. I will forward the X-rays but the oral surgeon pointed out that bones were in the way of them coming out. So they can't just be normal teeth... they just need to cause a problem. #rude Heavenly Father has my back. He'll watch out for me. :)

 Man I am glad Jon is doing okay... stinks that he has to stay there and get another operation done. I'm praying that luck won't follow me this next week. Yikes. Jaja. 

Rachel told me about Matt's brother. I suggested that the missionaries do a FHE on the plan of Salvation. I think that would help him a lot. I will be sure to pray for him and I will write him a letter this week so that way he will still feel my comfort 3 weeks or so from now. 

I am so proud of Soraya! Tell her to email me! Jeesh!

So could you put in some money so I can send home a package? I have a couple of things I don't want to cart around for the next 4 months. jaja. 

We received a phone call yesterday while eating lunch after church at the Tun's house. They are closing Mine and Sister nunez'a area. Tomorrow we'll be having transfers. It'll be interesting to find out where I'll be while recovering from getting my wisdom teeth out. I am terribly sad (I can't even pretend I'm not) to be leaving Corozal. I really wanted one more week. But I understand the Lord needs me doing something more. 

Thanks for the picture. I stinkin' love it! 

What more can I say about this week? Hmmm. We've just been super busy in Belize City and such for Visas and for my teeth. We've barely had time to work in our area. 

Man, that's about all I got for right now. But I love you mom! I will ask the Tague's to keep you updated about me and how I am doing. Okay?

Pray for me to love my new area please...

jaja. I just realized I'm more worried about that then about getting Surgery done here in Belize... what is my deal? Where are my priorities. jaja.

But I love you mom and I will work on a letter letting you know a bit more about the last 2 or so weeks here and what's been going on. I LOVE YOU!
