Email:

Hey everybody!!!!!!!! I hope everything is going well for all of you!!!!!!! I'm learning spanish pretty well and it's all good in here!!!!! Yesterday morning we went out to the field to play volleyball and we saw the hot air balloons go up and we could kind of see the parade. And last night they let us stay out until almost 11 (which is super crazy because that NEVER happens) and we got to watch the fireworks from the stadium of fire!!!!!!!!!! It was super cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I haven't sent pictures yet, I don't know how to send an SD card through the mail so I'm waiting to see Sister Purcell so I can give it to her to give to you guys. I've tried to take a lot of pictures and I'm having a great time here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Gospel is true and the Lord is very powerful and can help you through anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll still send letters this week to tell you more about what has happened this week but I'm running out of time for e-mails. Anyways I love you all and I hope you all had a FANTASTIC 4th of July!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, thanks so much for the package!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Elders in my district we also very thankful!!!!!!!!!! Seeya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

{We explained how to send the SD card so hopefully pictures will be coming next week.  I can't wait!!!!}

Letter:

Hey Everyone!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I didn't write individual letters this week.  This week's P-day flew by really fast so I don't have time.  But anyway, everything's still good here!!!!  Thanks so much for the letters and the package!!!! You guys are the best!!!!

 Anyway, nothing too crazy has happened this week. just the normal studying and teaching. The language has been particularly frustrating though!!!! I taught a lesson yesterday and I completely forgot everything I've learned so I wasn't very helpful during that lesson.  But it was still good because I was able to learn how to read body language really good.  So that was a good learning experience.  I told you about what we did for the 4th.  It was so cool!!!!!  I thought it was going to be just a normal day but they really tried to make it awesome!!!!! 

We had a devotional a few days ago that was really good that I want to share a few theing I learned from it.  The person who spoke was a member of the Seventy (who is Asian and I don't remember his name) but the main point I want to share is he said, "I think it's good to always be happy.  You people are going to places where people will hate you. Dogs too. They will bite you, but when the dogs bite you, look down at it and say, 'Hi dog! Thanks for biting me.  I love you.' Then walk away." What I liked about it was the fact that if we're happy all the time, our lives will be better.  Anyways that's my little insight from the fireside.  I hope you are all doing GREAT!!!!! I love you all!!!!!
