Heya mama, i just got the letter about the girls today. It made me sad. but then i stopped letting it bother me . so either i am really an emotionless android or god is helping me cope with it. for my sanity, i am inclined to go with the latter.

i am in an area called "Jerome" atm. we also cover hazelton and shoshone. its a bunch of farmers. literrallllyyy 99% of the people here have at least 1 dog. most average 2 dogs, some, cats and a horse. we were giving a lessson to a less active and his dog got into a fight with the other one across the street, so we helped him get his dog in the house 0_0

there is just so much ffaaaarrrrrrmmmmmm everywhere!! i cant wait to get transferred into the city, or at least the forestyy area of the mission. BUT the people here are all really wonderfully pleasent and nice!=]

gracias amigo for el pancakes!

we went to the temple today also. it was sweet.

i am eating mostly ceareal (shocker) eggos, and bananas. also PBJ sandwhiches and saimin for lunch. we ge4t fed every night from the memebers (WE COVER 9 WARDS) and almost always have4 leftovers.

MISSIONARIES LOVE: mail, Walmart, and p-day.

so hows home going for you guys now? hopefully its not too quiet in the house with the girls gone =[
