WOW! I am soo excited for the trip! It looks beautiful! and yes I am pretty much set on going to UVU for now. So if you could help me out with getting things all set up when the time comes that would be much appreciated. There are a lot of Hermanas in the mission that will also be down there and we have talked about living together and stuff but I don't really know right now, we will cross that bridge when we come to it. 

   Well nothing too exciting happened this week. I did divisions with Hermana Terry and it was a blast! Hermana Terry is one of my favorite hermanas in the mission, we came together and she is joy, I absolutely adore her. So that was really fun, especially because we used to always do practices together in the ccm and we totally sucked and couldn't speak spanish and it was cool to see how far we have both come since then.

    My comp. is good! She is really easy, still really really quite but I am learning to entertain myself and try not to get bored so fast. She has opened up a little more, we had a bonding experience where I tried to kill a giant flying cockroach in our room. I got up on my bed and jumped up in an attempt to smash it with my shoe BUT THEN IN STARTED FLYING! I had no idea cockroaches could fly so it scared me and I fell off my bed. She laughed pretty hard and now I think she feels a little more comfortable around me and is less scared of me, I hope... She is a really fast learner and really patient and doesn't get annoyed or mad at the people when they say dumb things like I do. 

    So remember that family that I am obsessed with? Blanca and Jorge?.. Well the obsession grows stronger and stronger every day. They are incredible. The other day my comp and I made them a mexican cookie cold cake thing and we all ate together and then had a family night. So anyway... I was shuffling through my scriptures and lourdes saw a picture of the salt lake temple and she asked which temple that was. Before I got a chance to answer Jorge chimes in and says, oh thats the salt lake temple, it took 40 years to build, then he points to Moroni and says, and thats angel Moroni, he appeared to Jose Smith and showed him where the plates for the book of mormon were hidden. WHAT THE HECK HOW DID YOU KNOW ALL THAT! He didn't know anything about the church before he got bap. two weeks ago and I definitely didn't teach him any of that. He just reads and reads and listens to church and HES JUST SO SMART I LOVE HIM! This kind of stuff NEVER happens. I love Guatemalans with all my heart,     Alright well thats all I can think of right now. i love you to the moon and back! oh and yes I LOVE my new house. and just about everyone and their dog heard about the break in. Random people who I have never seen before ask me on the bus about the whole situation. it’s the top gossip in San Felipe right now. 

con mucho amor

Hermana Outsen

Heres a picture of me on a super sketchy bridge, I totally felt like Indiana Jones while I was crossing it. I love bridges!
