LAST WEEKS THAT THE STUPID COMPUTER DIDN'T LET ME SEND:

Ok Ma you were correct in that I was having a hard time haha. You and your vudo motherly instincts haha Ya this week was kinda rough. We couldn't get any members to come out with us and I've been dealing with all these emotional issues that come from learning Spanish cause it's connected to dad and my lack of a relationship with him and his family and then we went to stake conference where they gave us this huge talk about how family history work is part of the hastening and then president Shumway told us that we needed to fill out hose "My Family" genealogy books by May 9th for ourselves because we need to be using that as a finding tool. Well, he asked us to ask for pictures from home to put in our book, so would you mind getting together as much info as possible for my book? Ask the missionaries for a  "My Family" Book and then if you could kindly share with me who is who and what is what I would REALLY appreciate it. FAMILY HISTORY WORK STRESSES ME OUT AND I DON'T LOVE IT! BUT.................................I'll fill out the book as much as possible, with your help?? I really would appreciate it. On another note, SIster Ratto and I have started to help out at this country discount store run by two Mennonite ladies and they are fantastic! We help them clean and stock shelves and they are so nice! We had this little question and answer session with them as we boxed eggs from their chickens. It was so much fun! :) I had never really met anyone who was a Mennonite or never talked to them about their beliefs anyway and so it was great! They'd never really talked to any LDS people about there beliefs so they had a lot of questions too. It really was great and we are gonna volunteer there every Friday. THey were a little cautious of us asking to volunteer there but once they saw that we were genuinely there to serve they opened right up! THey even set home a loaf of bread for us...aka me cause Sister Ratto can't have gluten or wheat hahaha YES! I have eaten basically half of it already and boy it is delicious! :) Good times.
