Mission to Paradise: June 15, 2015

Hello Family!

This was a great week! I love my new companion! And my old one! We all get along great! Maybe too great... We talk a lot... And get distracted... But we are working on it! :) My dad asked if they try to leave me out of the conversations because they are both native Spanish speakers.. But I speak Spanish now too... So no, they do not leave me out of the conversation, we are all super best friends now. :)

This week I taught my companions a very good skill: Phase 10. They are now addicted and beg me to play with them every night! I beat them pretty hard the first few times... Then Hermana Ramirez beat me.. Hermana Piche is still working on it... :) I plan to teach them to play "Squeak" once we find more cards. Oh! Bonus thing I taught them! During Phase 10 I told them they have to speak in English to help them learn. Hermana Piche asked me what was something she could call us when we skipped her and she was mad at us... So I taught her Bum. Like "YOU BUM"! I thought it would be pretty soft and not too harsh. But she already knows some English... So when I skipped her, she said "YOU BUM FACE"! Hahahahah it was hilarious!!!! Bum face in a latino accent is an awesome insult. My companions are great.

Next week we earned breakfast with President again for meeting our goal of baptisms for the zone! This is the last breakfast with President there will be.... :( How sad! But we are excited we got invited! :) Also next week is our last Mission Conference with President! He leaves in 2 weeks!!!! Ahhh!!

I had a dream that I was at McKell's wedding! And I got to make a toast and I cried! I cry more in my dreams than in real life, but I think I have cried more during my mission than I have in my whole life! Like a whole 4 times! But the dream was cute. :) I am still sad I missed the wedding, but Love you McKell!! Congratulations!! :)

Oh and then I had a dream about a scary movie... And I was like, wait, why am I watching a scary movie? I am a missionary! And now I can't feel the Spirit! Oh no! It was a weird dream... In all of my dreams I am a missionary and consiously think about what I am doing to see if it is breaking any rules.. Fun stuff. Hahah

Well... We are loving life. We work really well together. And if we can stop talking soo much, we will work even better together. :) We laugh lots. Not quite as much as the MTC, but close.

Have a great week!! I miss you all lots and lots! SUMMER!

Love,

Hermana Markle. :)

Items of Business...

1. A member keeps telling me that it is a sin to not wear my glasses and that I am breaking the Word of Wisdom and causing damage to my body... So I wear them when I am at church and at his house... But they give me a headache while walking in the street, so I still don't wear them always. Oops.

2. Katie's dress is pretty!!!!

3. Kami, how is the new dance company??

4. Brandon, are you alive? Did you get all 20 of my emails?

5. Does Madi have her cool new shoes yet?

6. HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD!!! :)

7. I used a really really really gross bathroom today. I might die.
