MESA NORTH DISTRICT

Everyone.. hello.

HOW ARE YOU? IM SO GOOD. IDK WHY I ASK IF YOURE GOOD CAUSE I CANT HEAR
YOUR RESPONSE

so this week was grand. Honestly don't remember what happened. Why
does time go by so fast guys?

Oh but we did have a great time yesterday and the day before.
So, every other Friday we have lunch with this member in our ward.
Lady is super old. Has been feeding the missionaries since forever.
Super sweet lady!!!! Well, this last Friday she called us and was
like, "Hermanos, ¿cuantos van a venir mañana?" (She says it in an
Italian accent, but she's from the Dominican Republic. It sounds so
cool! Oh and the translation is, "brothers, how many people are coming
tomorrow?" And so when she called us we still hadn't sent out the
texts because we forgot. So we told her we would send out the texts
and let her know later. Well, like NOBODY responded to our texts and
so basically like nobody showed up and so on Sunday she chewed us out
and it was HILARIOUS. I just laughed cause it wasn't anything we could
control.
And then on Saturday, we were just driving along and we come to a stop
and we are wanting to turn left. WELL. There was a bush in the way.
And so this guy who was out in traffic motioned us forward as in to
say we were good to come out because we couldn't see. WELL, my
companion starts going and we get like part way out and THERE WAS A
TRUCK and so we were like well dang it what the heck man! And my
companion tried to put it in reverse super fast and he put it in
neutral and so when he tired to back up it reved up a lot and he was
like, "I hate my life." And then finally he got it in reverse and we
saved our lives. And so we tried to pull out in traffic like 2 other
times and almost died and my companion got SO mad 😂😂😂😂 I almost
peed myself it was so funny. When we finally pulled out into traffic
he was like, "ITS THAT STUPID BUSHES FAULT!!" and then he said
something only a tiny bit inappropriate and I almost peed myself.
WHOO! FUNNY.
And then yesterday we had dinner dropped off to us at our apartment.
And the lady who dropped it off always gives us like fruit and stuff.
And so when she came over to drop it off she saw the fruit was still
on our table. And she was like, (mind this whole conversation was in
Spanish and so it was even funnier) what! You put those in the
fridge!! And she made my companion repeat after her 😂 she was like,
"put that in the fridge!" And then she was like, "what did I tell
you?" And then my companion said, ".... you put it in the fridge..."
and he said it all quiet and awkward and when she left I just laughed
at him forever. And he turns around and he was like, "I hate you." And
it made it even more FUNNY 😂😂😂

Okay yeah so that was my week. Super great! Hope yours was great!

06/05/2017 - MY 19TH BIRTHDAY!

Hey everyone!!!

It's been another week! Another great week? Yes. Yes it was. And your
week was good too because it just was and don't deny it. Why was your
week so great? Because you have great ATTITUDES right?! Attitude
changes everything. Even in days that just straight get pooped on, we
can still enjoy them. Laugh in a situation that isn't funny. Smile in
a situation that doesn't make you smile. You'll feel better in the end
😉 trust me. Personal experience? I dabble. Change your attitude
everyone!! LAUGH AND SMILE CAUSE LIFE IS GREAT

So this week .... yeah THIS WEEK. Let me tell ya. K so it's so dang
hot here it's like WUT why do people even live here it's like
Antarctica, but the opposite. It shouldn't be inhabited. Too hot.
Yesterday we saw a thermometer on the side of a house (sent a picture)
and it said 110 degrees. The thermometer in the car (sent a picture)
said 109 one day. WHOOO WHEE! And some days it's going to be like
115-120 so they say. Like literally yesterday we were asked to go give
a blessing and we were walking through this HUGE trailer park trying
to find it and we lowkey got lost and it wasn't enjoyable at all...
and ... we see these kids playing in a pool. Jealous? NO. I'm serving
the Lord what's better than that?? Nothing. Nothing is ladies and
gents. But yeah my companion was just like, this is stupid hot. This
isn't live able. BUT, we're doing it cause we love The Lord.

Another thing that went horribly wrong this week was that we spent
three consecutive days in car shops. Yeah wow. So the first day we got
two tires changed, didn't take toooo long. The second day our battery
died so we got Elder Rasmussen (senior missionary in the mission
office) to come save our butts, and then once we jump started our car
we went directly to the car shop to get a battery. And THEN the next
day we had a recall on our car so we go to this ginormous Berge Ford
and 7 hours later we go back to get our car (cause we had some other
Elders pick us up cause I wasn't down to spend 7 hours in a "customer
lounge" at the shop. Oh and that's where I was when that lady
surprised me with the presents from my mom! Haha LOL.) from there and
they didn't do ANYTHING. We told Elder Rasmussen that we still hadn't
gotten our car (earlier that day) and so he called and they told him
that we need to come back Monday. HAHA. Man, these people are
interrupting my time to the Lord. So now we have another appointment
this Thursday with a different car shop thing to get the whatever it
was that needed to be fixed, fixed.

Oh thanks for wishing me a happy birthday for all of those who did!!
Much appreciated. So much love. So great. For my birthday we went to
chipotle cause I got a gift card for that so it was very much needed
cause I LOVE chipotle. And then we did work, then I went to Dairy
Queen for a split second with Elder Thompson (cause we were on
exchanges) cause I was like maaaaan I want ice cream. So I got ice
cream. And then we switched our companions back after that. Birthdays
are super lame as a missionary 😂 that's okay they aren't fun when you
get older anyways.

You're cool love you all
