okay, i got the family letters, which are sweet, they really are (I looked at them online, even though I said i really wouldn't have the time, i couldn't really resist) I didn't read all of them, i'll wait until they come in the mail. But i scanned them a bit. Number one, tracy, I would LOVE a picture of Mira, the last one I got I think was from Christmas. send send send! the one i got from thanksgiving, where she is super tiny, i show to everyone, they love it!
okay. but really, the letters are the best idea (every month? its like a missionaries dream)
I feel like I never talk about missionary work in my emails. So, right now we have three people that we are looking forward to baptism with. Which is so exciting for me, because it is the first time i've ever seen anything start to happen. In sibu we started from scratch on an area, and weren't there for that long, and then we opened up the new area here, so it always takes a little while for things to happen. And one of the people is a deaf man sister richey met on the bus. he is a little strange, but his lessons are really cool. He really wants to understand, and it is so cool to explain a new concept to him. He even came to church on sunday. we weren't sure exactly how it was going to go, especially for testimony meeting. But sister richey wrote down some things that people were talking about, and during sunday school i sat next to him and wrote things down and helped him look up scriptures and stuff. He really liked church, and the branch was so nice to him to, one of the branch presidency wrote down a really nice letter and gave it to him. Simon's awesome, thats all im saying.
and mom, it is really cool to hear that you are working on the relief society birthday, because we have been working on that for a while too. they are putting on a talent show, too, and one sister, a filipina, got us to dance the cha cha with her in it. (we feel like it is okay because it is just the women) sister richey and i are also working on a rap because as it so happens, sister richey is a pretty good beat boxer. so i'm the rapper, when we get the rap worked out, maybe i'll send it to you. Its kind of fun that we are all doing something that saturday. (and i bet the cafe rio will be awesome)
sometimes i'm jealous about things like five guys, but then i remember that just yesterday, we walked past this fruit stand, full of tropical fruit that they were making into smoothies, and it cost like, a dollar fifty. so there is give and take. the fruit here is to die for though, i never knew how good honey dew was until i got here, now it is like my favorite.
