Hola!
This week I actually wrote a whole list of things to tell ya'll so maybe my email will actually make sense today... Ha :)
Things are pretty good for me and Sister Diehl, we have been keeping busy... very busy!
There are a few random things I thought I would share with all of you...
My hair is growing out again! I can finally put it in a ponytail and stuff. I don't think I am going to cut it that short again, I have decided that I like long hair the best.
When I get home from my mission can I take a really long nap? like 3 days long? I am so tired and I am so excited to just sleep one day... but I can't do that yet because I have a lot of work to do here. Also when I get home I am going to be a vegetarian for a few months and I am going to rid myself of all of the gross things that are in it.. Just in case you were wondering.
The other day we walked outside and it felt like fall, it reminded me of home. I am super excited to see all of the leaves here in the fall time! I bet it is beautiful.
I think it is spider season... Daily there is a loud scream coming from me because I see a spider somewhere.... I hate bugs but they are everywhere!
Anyways... So this week was pretty good, we struggled a little bit because there were some hiccups with the flow of our week with zone training and exchanges that we had to go on... But still we managed to pull through to another p-day!
this week I will have been on my mission for 4 months! How crazy..... time is a very strange thing on a mission, my perception of it is changing quite a bit. I realize that now 18 months is a very short amount of time and it will go by so very fast. I am proud of myself that I made it this far into my mission, it has been one of the hardest things I have ever done, I have kept a relatively good attitude and I am continuing to move forward thanks to the grace of my savior. I am a much better person for these 4 months and I am sure that I will continue to learn and grow ( I will be so tall that you won't even be able to recognize me when i get home!)
Yesterday we were standing in church and a girl comes up to me and starts hugging me, I was so confused but then I recognized her... Last semester I worked with her at legends grill! It was so weird to see her because I felt like two realities were coliding... But it was really awesome to talk to her and get to know her a little bit more!
A struggle that we are trying to overcome right now is learning how to plan most effectively. We have so much to do all the time and so many obligations that it is hard to keep up. We are learning how to be really good planners, which is something I desperately need to learn how to do! I am grateful for such busy times like this!
This week I learned a lot about charity and unconditional love that our savior has for each of us! It is so crazy to think that even when we are stupid and we mess up a bazillion times... that still God love us so much and he will never leave us. He will never leave us even when everyone else does becasue he has unconditional love for each of us. I am grateful to have this knowledge.
Anyways! how is everyone? I miss you all so much.
Thank you for the letters and everything else! You are the people who keep me going, seriously :)
Love you!

Also this week I heard a weezer song on the radio and It made me think of home. Will someone listen to some weezer and think of me?
