That is so cool that they went to a speed skating competition!  Tell Jackie thats awesome and I am cheering for her! I think I will try to give up tortillas, if you can give up pepsi I think I can do it, it will be really hard though! 

    Well this week was kind of boring... I dont have a whole lot to write. It was a really good week and we had some really good lessons and had people at church and found a solid group of positive people! So I am happy and doing good! 

    I loved reading Jill's letter! I can totally understand what she is describing because that is exactly how it was here and I got to see it again for New Years! It was just like Christmas eve, the entire sky lit up and there was not an inch of the midnight sky that wasn't covered in fireworks, it really is the coolest thing! New years was a really weird day for me. I thought all about 2013 and I just cannot believe how much changed this year. One year ago today I never would have thought I would here right now and I have learned so much, it just completely freaks me out to think about. and then to think that I will spend all of 2014 in Guatemala scares me to death but bring it on! 

   This week I ate cow foot and it was so gross I almost want to cry right now just thinking about it. It tastes like the cow utter except it is as hard as bone BECAUSE ITS A FREAKIN COW FOOT! i kept asking Hermana Mima how you eat it and she would just say you just bite it and chew it. Longest lunch hour I have ever had. 

    This week my companion and I were comparing the MTC to the CCM. It didn't take us too long to realize that my companions best friend from the MTC, who she still writes is Ryley's companion right now as we speak! We have already planned the reunion with the 4 of us when I get home! small world! We were so excited! 

    Well I am sorry this letter is short and lame. We played soccer all morning as a zone and it was so much fun I loved every second of it! but now I am exhausted and I cant remember anything that happened this week... but it sounds like everything is good back home! Love you to the moon and back! I promise you a better letter next week! 

Love
