sup fam! 

glad to hear grandma had a good birthday, I wish I could have been there! and yes I do get the pictures so please keep on sending them my way. so last Pday we went to the guat temple and it was tiny but gorgeous of course. while we were in the session you could hardly hear because it was pouring so hard outside. We got to walk home in the rain and we were drenched, it was awesome! and since then it has rained like almost everyday this week. 

So it is a sad day for Hma Outsen because Hermana Rios is leaving tomorrow for the field, we get

a whole new set of latinos tomorrow. Hermana Rios (the really short one) is so fabulous, I love her! I am amazed at how close we got considering the only english she knows is the head shoulders knees and toes song and "dream of little angels tonight" ha ha but somehow we communicate with my broken spanish and very extreme body language.

we got a new teacher (Hermano Moldanado).He is like the greatest guy on the planet! he is obsessed with soccer and he is so funny and such a good teacher. He is 22 and he speaks really good english, he is studying law and got accepted to Brown University, which is apparently in the States, so he might go to school there but he hasn't decided if the wants to stay in Guat or not yet. He served in Peru and he is just so awesome! I love both of my teachers. 

I am writing today because there is no time for us to do it tomorrow but Tuesday is my Pday. Tomorrow the guard will open up the gates of the MTC and we get to go out and see the actual streets of Guatemala!! (the temple, church, and computer lab are outside the gates of the CCM but they are super close, maybe two blocks away) so tomorrow we are taking a walmart trip and I have never been so excited to go to walmart in my whole life! then in two weeks we get to go the market! Hopefully my spanish will be good enough by then to bargain some prices!

My district is still awesome! Although my favorite girl here is hermana Rios, I do love the Norte sisters too! It is funny because I get along really well with the older girls and I love them: hermana Phillips (21) Hermana terry (22) hermana brown (24) and hermana Barba (22) because all the 19 year olds are annoying. My district hangs outs with District Job and together we make up all the missionaries that traveled here on the 24th so they were all on my plane. anyway, we all get along really well and we have a lot of fun! 

Well I think about you everyday and I love you a whole lot! Say hi to Salt Lake for me! 

Love, Hermana Outsen!

ps I don't know how to work this keyboard so hopefully that explains why there are no apostrophes and the enter button is freaky and does not have the same function as utah keyboards so sorry) oh and also you can still send dear elders for free to the guat ccm so if you feel like doing that I would love to beat Elder Garcia!
