Holla from Houston!: SEVEN MONTHS

HAPPY VALENTINES DAYYYYYYY

just realized today is my SEVEN MONTH MARK?! i think i say this every month...but time is flyying out here...for real.

I LOVE MY NEW COMP!!!!! her name is Hermana Whitehead from American Fork, Utah! something that blew my mind is she graduated from high school in 2014..wait what? you best believe i felt ancient when she told me that!! she didnt speak any spanish before the mission, but she catches on really quick! super happy, quick to laugh..we get along just fine ;) already feel like ive known her my whole life!

i need to be better about writing things down before i email because i get in here and im literally like "shoot...what happened this week?" hmmmmmm here's something! we were knockin some doors, doing some contacting when these three boys hollered at us "yall new here?" "no..we are just visiting..becasue we are missionaries...etc..and we are here to teach people....etc etc" "cool. can yall teach us?" "SURE!" so we taught them a quick lesson..and then i asked one of the little boys if he spoke spanish and he said yes! he invited us to meet his family and start teaching them!! gave us his house number and told us to come back at 3pm the next day!!! in my head i was like "saweeet! thanks for handing over all of your info! but wait shouldnt stranger danger be a thing? like im not gonna do anything weird but i cant promise how the next guy is gonna act..." regardless, we are super excited to be teaching this new family and will definitely keep you posted on how things go!!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY BTW! my comp and i decided to treat ourselves for dinner for the occasion...haha..asked a guy on the street for a recommendation and i guess he thought we were drowning in money because we walked in the referred restaurant and walked right back out because there is no way im paying $16 for bread-any way you slice it!! luckily there was a sketchy lookin Indian restaurant next door that looked promising..and at least up our price alley haha it ended up being AMAZING!!!! all of the other customers looked at us like we were aliens and kept asking us how we liked the food....which was AMAZING!!!!!!! they had the chicken tikka missala thing that we get at Bombay house?? sooo goood!!!! the customers looked at us even weirder when i started talking to our server in spanish! carlos from mexico is now an investigator ;) moral of the story? sometimes you gotta go to sketchy lookin indian restaurants to find new people to teach!! NOT EVEN COMPLAINING!!!

anyway, i hope yall have a blessed week! miracles happen ON THE DAILY!! dont forget to notice ;)

paz y bendiciones
