FAMILY!

Ok, heres my list of things to say this week. :)

Im working on writing a little bit to you everyday and I{ll send those things on p day.

I miss the Dick Van Dyke show...

The other day I tried to say "Hna Merrell solo hace cadas feos" but I really said "Hna Merrell solo tiene cadas feos"... huge difference.  Sorry if the spanish is rocky.. its coming along.. but it translates to (what i meant to say)  "hna Merrell only makes ugly faces"  (what I said) "hna Merrell only has ugly faces"

I HAVE 2 WEEKS LEFT!!! what happened?!  Im so excited to get out into the field, but im a scared little chicken!

Elder Christensen... do you remember him?! I said something about him in the letter i have for you, but just real quick, you need to know how awesome his family is.  He's the one that his mom found my tickets on the bathroom counter and then she said her son is named Rob too, well a couple days ago Elder Christensen told me that his family has been praying for me!  How sweet is that!  All of the elders in my district are so awesome.  I cant wait for Nate to get on his mission.  Its the best thing.  EVER!!!

We watched Journey of Faith yesterday.. a documentary about when Nephi got to the Americas.. Yeah, it was a little boring at times, but super interesting too!! I watched parts of it in my Book of Mormom Doctrines and Evidences class. 

I dont remember where I hear this, but I loved it.  "one plus God is enough"

The sense of humor here is very different!!  I dont think they will think im very funny. 

I have a joke for you.  "what does an airplane and a stove have in common?"  .........................  "a pilot!!"  Bahahahaha :)

OOOHHHH!!! so we watch old devotionals on sundays, and last night we were watching one of Dallin H. Oaks from May of 2012 when he was speaking in the Provo MTC... I was searching the choir for a familiar face and you will NEVER guess who I saw?!  KYLEE RICHARDSON!!  It was so cool!  she had on a blue shirt and they sang Consider the Lillies.  Not a joke.  I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A JOKE!

Have I told you about CRE house?  Im a putz.  I need to tell you more things.  But CRE is just a fake house (im in it right now) we email, do TALL, and teach fake investigators.  Well, the investigators usually have a fake background story, but the last one we had was a 79 year old woman who talked the whole time about her life story.  She didnt even try to be a fake investigator. It was SO cute!  Shes active and goes to the temple, so we had nothing to do really, we tried to share a message with her quickly before we had to go because she had already talked for 10 minutes longer than we were supposed to be there... I love that tiny woman.

There was a dance party a few days ago.. I didnt know most of the songs, luckily, because everyone else in my district was going CRAZY!!  they couldnt take it.  It was so so funny!

We are going to the Walmart tomorrow.. I'll try to remember lotsa details so I can email about that next week.

OH!!  so the week I leave (on the 25th I think...) I might not get to email.  So next week could be the last time i email until i get to the field.  Possibly.. i hope not, but its a very real possiblity.

our lessons are going pretty good, every once in a while we have a lesson that is sketchy, but for the most part we are working well together.  Except Marcos (we still teach him, he's still our teacher.. he just puts a different shirt on) told us that he thinks we dont love him anymore.  Talk about constructive critism! 

Oh, if you get a chance, can you DearElder me the words to the song "once I was lost, never counting the cost...." I dont remember all the way.. Dad might know what Im talking about.. its in the blue binder by the piano, one of the last few pages.. in sheet protectors.

also, the words to Be Still My soul?

We have been singing Come Thou Fount a lot lately.  We all love it.  Plus its the only english we get to sing... kind of...

Ok, thats the end of my list.. hope you see this soon! :)

Love, Hermana Evans
