WOW what a week! Not sure how all my missionary friends get their emails sent out first thing in the morning haha sorry thats not me BUT this week was so fun! Random: -Went to a Supermaxi today which is like their Costco here, and legit felt like i was in a regular grocery store in the states lol -eating popcorn while calling a bunch of people and hermana Huamandraime goes "i feel like i'm in a cine(movie theater)...but spiritual" -abt every 5 minutes hermana Huamandraime says "hace frio" or "tengo frio" while literally wearing long sleeves and a jacket and i'm standing there in short sleeves .  cracks me up every time -i think every day hermana mendez and i figure something out abt how we both grew up and its reallyyyy weird how identical our childhoods were which is so funny bc we're literally besties and shes the only person that keeps me sane here with the other hermana lol but maybe sisters from another mother? who knows Yesterday in churc...

He could have been my first baptism but oh well, im sooo happy for him!

This is what most people say here, that those 3 are the same person and im like uhhh nope but i respect your beliefs!

Nope u guessed wrong, its $26 . -its true, people do eat ice cream with shredded cheese on it, have no clue who thought it was a good idea but i promise i'll try it when i get ice cream and let ya'll know how it is lol -stepped in wet dog poop that other day cuz im just like that, and plus poop is literally everywhere here, but basically it dried on the bottom of my shoe so then i put them on the next morning and starting walking in the apartment and noticed dried, crumbling poop alllll over the floor, from the room to the kitchen .  that was fun to clean up -we visited a recent convert y...
