Hello family,

Not a lot happened this week! It has been pretty mellow! On wednesday we have district meetings and we are doing this new thing where all of the missionaries prepare something that we are assigned and we may or may not be chosen to teach. I was one of the ones that was asked to talk and I actually quite enjoyed it. I was asked to study and prepare something based on my purpose as a missionary which was exactly what i needed to study. I am pretty sure I was asked to talk on that because I needed to learn something.

It was sister binnies birthday on saturday so that was fun. We saw Robin and went for hot chocolate and then after that we met up with Vivaldo and he bought her a cake and we had a mini birthday party for her and then we spent a few hours with Catherine and Bella. They live out in the country and their house is gorgeous. Mom and Dad you would love to live out where they do. We watched the Joseph Smith movie and just hung out. Also mom do you remember the mango vera lotion we have? they had it and i was just telling them how it reminded me of home and when we were leaving she gave it to me. I was excited :) haha so we had dinner there for her bday and then our ward mission leader invited us over for tacos so we went and had dinner again and spent time with his lovely family. He's american so they were real good! haha he knows how to make proper mexican food.

Saturday night we forgot to bring our phone up to our room and that was bad because we use it as an alarm. haha we woke up late on sunday morning. It threw everything off. but I guess on the bright side we got to sleep an extra 45 min. haha. We went to FHE with all of the young single adults last night which was a lot of fun. We played some games and it was fun to just hang out and play games. We are supposed to supervise for the next 2wks because the senior couple had to go back to America for some family stuff.

anyway not a lot has happened! love you all so dang much! stay fantastic.

love syd
