hi mom! I am so proud of Alex! I really wish I could have been there to hear him speak but I was thinking about him yesterday and I know he did great! Please give him a huge hug for me on wednesday and tell him that the gift of tongues is a real thing. But he doesnt have do even worry about that because the people are going to be able to feel his love the first second they meet him. I feel really blessed to be able to serve together! COOL! being a missionary rocks! So May first is the big day huh? my companion and I are a little bummed because she gets home on the 14th of May and I told her she could go to the wedding in my place but I guess now she cant because she is going to be in Guatemala. and to answer your question, yes we get along great! no problems there.

   Well this week we had interviews with president. My interview was like 4 seconds long. I walked in and he was like thanks for being so easy and then I walked out. We have some really disobedient elders in the mission which is really lame. Then he bought us pizza. 

    This Saturday we had a big stake activity. IT WAS SUCH A BLAST! You all need to put this on your bucket list right now, to attend a church activity with Guatemalans. They are always so fun! They are so easy to entertain and they make everything so fun! they are just so loud and crazy and I love it so much! What we did was all the missionaries took pictures of families in their ward and we printed them all out and glued them in book of mormons. Then at the activity we gave them their book and had them write their testimonies and we are going to go out with them so they can give their book of mormon to a friend. Hermana Prince and I were in charge of handing out all the book of mormons and explaining it and helping them write their testimonies and every other missionary in the zone was in charge of walking around aimlessly. It was pretty crazy because all the older people cant write so they told us their testimonies and we wrote them for them. I am no spanish expert but I am 90 percent sure that everything they told me made no sense. but I just wrote it anyway and tried to fill the holes in. All the old people here are crazy, it rocks! Tons of people came and president Ruiz spoke. Then we all went outside and every ward was in charge of a game, so it was like a carnival type thing. it was so much fun! I was just running around screaming and sweating and I fit right in with all the children. and all the adults because they all do that too. It was great! Even though they dont have a lot of money they just deal with what they have and make everything so fun! its awesome

   Well tell Alex I love him a whole lot! and you are worlds best mom so I don’t doubt for a second that we will both get our own personal emails every week for the rest of our missions. Love you to the moon and back! 

Love,

Hermana outsen
