Hey everyone! Sorry this email is late but the last two days we
couldn't email because of the holiday and other general craziness.
Anyways here are this weeks Top 5

1. Have I Had My Malaria Shot? The mosquitoes are unreal! We have had
a lot of rain and I guess the rain just multiplied the mosquitoes like
Gremlins cause they are everywhere!! We had a lesson outside for like
an hour and I got home and counted 12 MOSQUITO BITES!!! I am going to
die. I know it. And i had bug spray on. Apparently it didn't
work...anyone know about any mega strong bug spray? Cuz i need it. My
blood is just super desirable i guess cause no one else got bit! Not
cool.

2. Hermana Smoot and i spoke in sacrament meeting last Sunday. It was
so awkward cause we both hate speaking in front of crowds and we both
talk really fast when we are nervous so we both finished our talks in
10 min. so our poor branch president had to give a half hour talk on
the spot. Oh well it was funny.

3. Guess What? We had a branch talent show and me and Hermana Smoot
sang. Not seriously. We made up words to the tune of Do you wanna
build a snowman and changed it to Do you wanna be a Mormon? I was
super funny but really awkward cause everyone kept clapping after
every verse and it was like Patience! I know were bad but were almost
done! haha It was great tho we had a member stand up there with us so
we sang to him and he was hilarious. It was a good night.

4.Investigator Update: We had to drop 4 investigators cause they just
weren't into it but we still check up on them from time to time. Right
now we are focusing on Brandon. He is going to be baptized on June 27
( his birthday) and he is super excited. He came to church and loved
it and is trying really hard to quit smoking. He is awesome we are
super excited for him.
Then we have our newest investigator Isreal. He is awesome. He is here
from Guatemala for the summer to learn english and about the church so
we are teaching him both. He is so great and asks a lot of great
questions. He really wants to be baptized so we are gonna do that this
month too.
Everyone else is doing great just learning and loving. Missionary work
is the best!

5.Zombies. For PDay we played zombie nerf gun games with our district
and i was sooooo fun!!! We played hardcore and for all afternoon! My
district is the best we have so much fun and nerf guns are kind of our
thing, It feels like were kids again and it is super duper
fantastically fun! Nerf Guns for dayzzz!
