Can I just say how much I love you!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR THE MUFFINS!!!!  AND THE MEDICINE!!!! That was way super expensive and I can't even tell you how grateful I am, but I am. :') Mom goodness there is a special place for you in heaven. I am going to have to write you later today cause I don't have a ton of time but thank you thank you thank you for everything. SOmetimes I feel so stinkin alone out here and then I get little letters and stuff from you guys and it literally makes my whole life haha. In regards to easter! I would LOVE a new outfit!! Something with color and that's stretchy or flowy haha but really I got a taste of the humididty the other day...whoa doggy it's gonna be a doosy. It'd be cool if it was a skirt and shirt so I could wear them with other stuff, and ya just cute and colorful or light whatever, honestly I am just about ready to burn all of my clothes cause they are getting so old, but then I'm like "Wait..I dont' have anymore and I dont' want to run around naked" so I stop myself. Arkansas is the prettiest state ever!! Heavenly Father literally sent me to one place on earth that grows little purple flowers in the grass EVERYWHERE and where there's purple blossoms in the trees...I have yet to see those because it's still "winter here" but I've been told and I CAN'T WAIT!! The purple flowers in the grass are fantastic though. There's just fields of them! :)  Yes purple flowers that make my day! There's some more things that are makin my days. I am completely over myself by the way. I am beginning to love Berryville and Sister Ratto and I are really starting to get along now. We had a little companionship inventory and we talked our differences through and so we're good! So, we've actually set 2 baptismal dates and we're gonna hopefully be settin....FIVE MORE THIS WEEK!!! Ahhhhh!! Isn't that awesome!!!!????? We are just asking people left and right and they're accepting because there hearts have been so prepared! It's insane and it just goes to show me that literally all you need is a willing heart and worthy hands to help with the Lord's work cause heaven's knows that's about all I got haha. One of those  is a lady we met OUR FIRST NIGHT HERE!! Ya it's amazing. We went to go visit a lad that was a less active in that house years ago...one the elders didn't update and she had just moved in. She met with the missionaries years ago and her husband just died last year. She's only about 26 and she has a daughter that's 8. Mom, she is amazing. She is soaking everything up and her boyfriend and her mom have started taking the lessons with her as well and we've already asked them if they would be baptized and they ALL said yes. We just have to pray and pick out a date! AHHHHHH!! The very first person we met here. She will literally be my pride and joy if she does get baptized while I'm here. Also, General conference is this weekend!!! Yay! We are hoping they announce an Arkansas temple!! The people around here would flip out, but I seriously think it's coming soon. The temples around here are always PACKED which is awesome and just goes to show Arkansas needs their own! How awesome would that be? I could say: "Ya I helped get that there" tehe jk. It's all the Lord's work. :) The healthy chocolate! YES! it is Awesome!!!! and super simple: 1 Cup dark chocolate/ cocoa (honestly the dark chocolate is really good and it's full of antioxidants) 1 Cup water , 1 Cup coconut oil (kinda spendy but worth it hehe) , and half a cup of honey. And nuts if you want them...I thought they were good but it's delicious either way.  Mix it all together spread it on a pan and stick it in the fridge or the freezer...we do the freezer cause it's delicious haha. It's way super messy when you pick it up but it's sooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!! So remember that time I was like: Ya I'm gonna teach myself Spanish!...Welp haha it's a lot harder than I thought but I'm just memorizing the lessons and hoping that I'll be able to actually communicate with people when the time comes.  Also, I don't have my XD card anymore and I'm sending home a full one, but I tried to buy a new one and they don't sell them anymore so I was wondering if maybe cass would let me use her old blue camera????? I'll ask her too, but I haven't been able to take any pictures, but sister ratto has so she's gonna email me some and I'll send them to you. Haha there's some crazy ones. :) Life is good. Ok I think that's all. I'll wirte you tonight and send youthat XD card hopefully!! You're the best ma, and I love you sooooooooooooooooooooooo SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. Thank you for the muffins... I'm eating them even though they are melty everywhere and about 2 weeks old haha. Stomache of steal. Also, Where the heck is Emily??? I haven't heard from her! Thank you Manda for the letter hahahah I LOVED IT and I'll write you back as sooon as I can. Thank you Erma! I did get your pot of gold and I LOVED it. THeres a letter in the mail for you :) I love you Grandpa and I haven't met any smiths yet, but I have met some MORENOS hahah I took a picture with this random lady and she was cool with it haha. Good times. I love you all and I know that this gospel is true. Sometimes it's hard when everyone is trying to tell you what you believe and what is wrong about you church and what not, but honestly I know that the gospel of Jesus CHrist has been restored and that God loves us sooooo much. I feel his love surround me and I know that he's watching over you while we're apart. Please keep me in your prayer...the gift of tongues would be a nice thing to have if you think of adding that in. :) You are ALWAYS in my prayers.

Love you forever,

Sister Moreno
