Hola Familia!

Sounds like a fun trek home from Peru. Boliches! I've got a new companion, actually she's recycled. Hermana Cameron, one of my MTC-VC training companions, arrived on Thursday and for some reason we haven't gotten a teamup since J She went from a car to the Islander-6 (I need to send home a pic of this bike) every minute of the day. I haven't ridden a bike this much since I arrived in the mission. I haven't ridden my bike this much since high school! The skirt makes it fun. We're passing around a teamups list next Sunday, the old standbys have moved on to bigger and better callings. In fact, one of our top Spanish speaking teamups husband just got called to be bishop! So I let Brother formerly-bishop Markham know we would be calling him for teamups this week and he'd better brushup on his Spanish J . We haven't gotten new investigators in awhile, so we tracted and rode our bikes a lot to do followup the last couple of days. My legs are frito-ed.

I went to some pretty dern cool birthday parties, I mean…finding opportunities, this weekend. One with a Spiderman 3 theme, tamales, cupcakes and a JUMPING CASTLE (I need to send you that pic as well). Then a hoppin happy 70th for our ward clerk. His sister was in town and she's not LDS so we talked about genealogy and ate a lot of M&Ms. We worked it all off, because contrary to popular belief, Kansas is not all flat. Lawrence really knows how to represent as far as hills go.

Oh hey, guess what? I ate FISH! I put a lot of limon y sal on it and just chewed it down. I'll be honest. It doesn't taste bad, but that smell…I drank 5 glasses of cranberry juice and I'm not sure how long I brushed my teeth when I got home. I'm still trying to shake it off. Bleh.

So I paid for 10 mins in an internet cafe to finish this letter. The Church is true and thank you so much for a ll your love and support. Especially Mom and Dad. You're my examples and I know Heavenly father has put someone in your path today. Someone he wanted you to talk to and tell them whats made you happy. tell them about the gospel. We haven't had a lot of success yet, but I'm supposed to be here. The string doesn't know how the tapestry will turn out. I'm simply where I'm supposed to be doing my best tot see what I'm supposed to do. Heavenly Father will guide us to have daily missionary opportunities as we pray and work for them. It's not hard. Just a see a need and love people. Open your mouths and they shall be filled. And when it doesn't seem like there was a point, we'll still stand with Our Creator the last day and be able to say with Him. It is good.

Con muchisimo carino,
Hermana Deb
