estamos empapadas

such happy things came to us this week. la familia sanchez didn't make it to church, but that's okay because cute veva and perla both did (less-actives), but mostly just because we told them that we were singing with the primary for their presentation and guilted them into coming. which, by the way, was precious. all the missionaries and returned missionaries and kiddos sang "the army of helaman" about bringing the truth to the world and i was just so very grateful to be a missionary because even after these 18 months are over i will always and forever be able to say that i gave my all and served my mission <3

sister paxton tried hummus and she threw up in my trash can :(

latinos hate the smell of curry, which is a bummer because you can just breathe in curry when walking the streets at night here.

all the clouds get trapped on the trees because they're so very tall and it's so very lovely. british columbia is beautiful guys. beautiful. even though i have yet to see any snow... which is probably a good thing because as soon as the snow comes i will be wanting nothing more than to SKI hahaha.

rosa is still solid, we're teaching a couple other cute people now like nubia and jose and mario from honduras and carolyn from the philippines who comes to the spanish ward with her peruvian bf <3

ALSO before i forget, send me your addresses if you'd like a christmas card because LESS THAN A MONTH!!!! THE HAPPIEST TIME OF THE ENTIRE YEAR!! ah. and i'm just SO excited to have christmas on the mission because it just makes everything that matters so much more REAL. in every moment we are representing Jesus Christ. and i love it. plus christmas miracles are coming, i'm sure of it.

with all my love

ps reese i hear you're starting drivers ed this week??? this concerns me greatly?????

WAIT HOW COULD I FORGET?! we had la noche internacional on saturday which was the greatest ward activity in all of ever because every single member brought non member friends and they were all trash talking between the different hispano countries and singing and dancing and putting on performances and SO MUCH FOOD and it was crazy and I JUST LOVE LATINOS and i almost got up and sang the star spangled banner to represent but then withheld myself :)) if i wasn't sprinting around the whole time getting numbers and such i would have taken photos. my bad, sorry team.

love you guys for real. be good and check out the light the world christmas initiative on mormon.org because it is the absolute greatest! xoxo
