Thank You:)

Hi everyone!!!
Junie, Casey, and Eric thank you for the birthday gifts! i love them!!! Anyways, besides that note, this week was kinda slow for some reason. I acctually had to knock doors this week. It might be the fact that my compaion was sick and i think she is still sick. The Mission President's wife called her and said she has most of the symptoms of Swine Flu!! Ah!! then again every appointment we have someone is sick in that house. So since the flu season is coming we are not allowed to shake hands, give hugs, or give kisses on the cheeks. So thats kinda of disrepectful for the Hispanic COmmunity so we are gonna have to deal with that. I dont want to get the swine flu. BLAH!!!
This week we had to drop a lot of people because 1. they dont come to church or 2. they arent reading and praying. We had to drop Miguel Garabail eventhough he promised that he would bet going to church like for the last 3 sundays, and never came.
We had to drop this lady name Esperanza who is from Honduras. Its pretty ironic, because last week we asked her the baptizemal questions and she answered them perfectly, but the last week she had no idea why Joseph Smith is so importante. Plus, her "husband" wont marry her. she knows that she needs to get married before she can get baptized.
On the plus side, we have a young man name Josue who is 15 and he is ready to be baptized. but his dad wants to baptize him but the dad has a drinking problem before he can baptize his son. So that is going to be a month before we see him getting baptized.
The reason why i think the work is kinda hard here is because we are working with Hispanic People and they dont have papers. so that means its extremely hard for them to get a job, and when they get a job they dont want to lose it so they never ask for sunday off. plus, they are here to work, nothing else. even some of the ward memebers dont have papers. ah! there are people from Mexico (a lot of people), Hondras, and El Salvador.
I hate Cake and food. The memebers here love the sister missionaires, people are already calling dates for next month to feed us. even when they dont sign up they still feed us. for the past two weeks my compaion and i have had like 2 dinners in one night. Plus, within two weeks we had 12 cakes because her birthday was the week before mine. i also relized that i could have no surivie in another country. because the ward had a "bring food from your country" night. and ive tasted some food from like Chile, Hondoras, Venezela, and another country and yah i cant eat that food. But the Mexican food, i love it! i mean i was ment to be here. because i love the people and the food.
well everyone,
i hope ya'll have a great week!!!
