hola!!‏

how fast the time is flying...it seems like every email im saying "hey can you believe its almost..." MAY!!!!
wow how crazy. when people ask me how long ive been out now i say just under a year. i know it seems like yesterday i left. today i was reading in my journal from the MTC...how time has flown. i miss my little MTC district but it is so cool to hear from them because they are doing amazing!!!! 2 of them have trained and others have leadership positions. the mission is such an experience...there are ups and downs and each day changes.
well i did something ive never done before...TRACTING FOR 3 HOURS. that was fun...i have a beautiful farmer's tan to show for it. as anyone whose served a mission knows tracting is not very effective but it shows your heart. we had like 2 lessons that day but the next day we had like 7. it was incredible how the Lord blesses us. i absolutely LOVE being full-field though i miss my VC sisters. its nice to be able to proselyte full-time.
ive been having a lot of fun with sister bingham. she works really hard and is really bold. we are praying for miracles and to find a family to teach because she's never baptized a family and we want her to go out with a bang. i know there is a family waiting for us we are just trying to find them.
this transfer we are doing something interesting as a mission...its called training blitz. it means that for 2 days we have another missionary proselyte with us and help us to improve. then the next week we go out with a companionship for 2 days. so sister bingham will go out with a companionship and so will i. the idea is to train the whole mission and to improve our ablities. it should be fun. so next monday and tuesday we have someone coming with us and then the following monday and tuesday we leave our area and proselyte with other missionaries. thats means my birthday will consist of tracting with sister parkus and sister colgan...that's who im assigned to. it should be fun. so the next couple p-days will be on wednesday so dont worry about the late emails...just dont forget to write.
im trying to remember if ive had any funny things happen lately...i cant think right now but im doing well.
i hope you all are safe and happy. remember i love you all.
