HOLY CRAP!!!! THAT IS SO CRAZY!!! can you please send me Alex’s email so i can write him personally! I have been thinking about him all week and when I read that I just bawled, how awks for my distict... ha ha. I am sure no one guessed that right! that is so just...FOREIGN! but I am so excited for him! Alex is honestly going to be the best missionary on that entire continent wherever the heck that is! actually probably the best on the planet. congrats alex!! I love you! 

Calvin has the same birthday as my zone leader so I told him I am just going to pretend he is my nephew this week so i will be celebrating with Calvin this week also, oh and ps I loved the picture, so freakin cute!! oh and tell Dallin I am lovin his long hair! 

   Yes I got grandmas email, loved it! I am in a town called Tzununa and it is a really poor area but I love it! it is so pretty and the ward is awesome and everyone is so nice all the time. I don't really know if it is close to the mission home or not because I suck at directions and I don't know where anything is.but I assume it is rather close but my mission is pretty small. I do know that it is like a 7 minute tuk tuk ride to Reu which is a busy city and my area is a little dirt road place and I see like 3 cars a day, not including tuk tuks. Church is not super well organized here so the bishop ends up speaking in sacrament like every week for 25 minutes and my bishop is totally crazy. He is like 3 inches shorter than me and he is just always smiling and never makes sense. His wife lives in Utah, I don't really know why but she lives like 20 minutes from our house. I like church because all the members are so great and they work really hard at their callings and make it work,. it rocks!

I got to watch conference in a little air conditioned room in the chapel with 6 other missionaries in English and it was freakin awesome! I am sad it is over because one, conference rocks, and two, our little conference invites were a great icebreaker for contacting and stuff. I hope you all heard the shout out to Guatemala on Saturday with the story of the missionaries shoes. HOLLA! 

   I got dads dear elder and it was hilarious! they still print those out even when I am in the field! I think they take a while to get here but they are a great surprise so if anyone is every bored, log onto to dear elder! I had my comp read it to see how much she could understand, we were laughing so hard! I told her not to feel bad because my fam is weird and we talk weird. I think the most used spanish phrase for me is, don't listen to my english! My comp repeats stuff I say in english and when she says it I realize how weird I sound and how often I don't make sense, I think I can blame Jackie for that one. 

Tell alex that missions rock and that I love it and that I know he will love it too even though its hard some days! but I am so glad I am here and I am so glad I get to experience this experience! it has already rewarded me! I love you all and I hope you enjoy having the Mitchells around, I love the Mitchells!  Oh and the pics I sent are my zone playing frisbee in the pouring rain. and a pic I took from my roof. I have like the best view ever from the roof of my house, muy bonita! love you all! congrats to my twin! I will be praying for alex everyday for the next two and a half years!

Love,
