Ok I am completely and totally exhausted! SO this will probably be short. Oh my goodness!! Kalen went through the temple!!!!! That is SOOOOOOOOO awesome!! Gosh I can't believe he leaves so quickly! I'm glad he got my letter. I told him to write me back but I also realize that that may or may not happen quickly haha. Either way! I love you Kalen and I do expect you to tell me at some point how the temple was!! :) You look good, missionary strong! Now, why I'm exhausted, this morning SIster Booms and I went over to a member's house and helped ...ok so we did it all as she sat inside haha... clean up her yard cause we had a really bad rain storm on Saturday that broke everybody's tress and her yard was covered in branches. One point for Idaho! We don't have trees so we don't have to clean up branches haha. Ya anyway the picture of branches was only part of our work. We took another load down the street and tossed it into a field until a lady came out and told us not to do that haha good thing I forgot to put my name tag on my t-shirt when I changed into service clothes haha :) So ya that was good. We also have scrubbed carpets, hauled Christmas tubs to the basement, washed dishes, made dinner, etc for the members this week. It's been so fun but SO tiring! But! I'd much rather be tired because of hard work than tired because of nobody keeping their appointments or something. OOH!! Also! at our Spanish lesson this week Carmen taught us how to make sopes! And they turned out REALLY good, if I do say so myself :) Hehe I love her. SHe's teaching us how to make classic Mexican dishes in addition to our Spanish lessons. Which! We will be reading El Libro de Mormon in to help her finish it for the first time! I love her so much. Plus! She has put up pictures of us on facebook so mom, you need to request to join Berryville Branch's page or whatever it's called haha. THis whole lack of technology in my life is not helping with my already technologically challenged self. :) Speaking of which! Sara told me Cass accepted her friend request tehe. Perfect. Sara Edwards is stinkin hilarious haha. We are currently best friends and she looks like America Ferrera haha. Good times. Cass, she's so funny. Become her best friend. :) Also, we had interviews with President Shumway this week and that was really good. I was able to pour out my soul to him and it was awesome to hear his comforting encouragement and love. I love him so much and I'm so grateful to learn from him. And! We got word on the IPADS. We do have to pay for them...they're going to be about $400 ....yikes BUT! I had money set aside for a bike in case that would be needed and it was about the same amount so I should be good :) We do get to keep them after our missions though so that'll be nice. Well, I think that's about it. OH! EXCEPT! My whole zone got permission to go on a zone outing to go see th Bretts in Branson!!!!! AHHHH!!! I love living to a musical theater land haha. The bretts are members and basically all of the Branson performers are members too but because they are members they're letting our WHOLE ZONE (about 30 missionaries) and AND the members that drive them come watch their show for FREE!! So! Tomorrow we will be finishing the rest of our preparation day at a show in Branson! Yay! ALSO thank you to everyone who writes me letters. :) I REALLY appreciate it. You learn to live for the mail haha and I'm grateful to have awesome family and friends that take the time to write me. I love you all and hope you have a great week! AND a little shout out to Emily! :): " don't know I've been thinking a lot about you and I won't have time to write you a letter today but know that I love you SO much! There's a lady out here that reminds me of you and she too is a great teacher :) I love you to pieces and couldn't ask for a better best friend. Thank you for always being there for me and for sharing your wisdom. Love you!"
Love you all forever,
Sister Andrea Moreno
