Hey ya'll! This week was AMAZING and I can't wait to tell you all about it! So here is my Top 5:)

 

1.DES MOINES: Guyyyysssss I am in Des Moines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo stoked!!! Its a real city! Its has malls and lots of restaurants and more that just Wal-Mart and McDonalds! It amazing! I haven't seen a corn field since I got here! I am definitely NOT a small town girl, I love my big city! But yeah and the best part about this area is that we only teach Spanish and we go to a Spanish Branch for church, like its complete Spanish immersion!!! I am so excited! Talk about baptism by fire! Oh my lanta this week has been hard but somehow I am able to mostly understand and speak but oh man it has been a struggle but I am learning soooo much!! My Spanish is gonna be basically fantastic by the time I leave here:)

2.TRIO LIFE: So I didn't just get one new companion, I got 2!!! Its so great! Its squishy for sure but sooo fun! So my first companion is Hermana Lundell. This is her last transfer then she goes home to Lehi. She is blonde and tall and super crazy fun! She does the funniest voices! Ahh man, I just love her! My second companion is Hermana Rodriguez. She just got don't training and she is from Venezuela and so she is fluent in Spanish and is such a huge help for my Spanish!! But oh my lanta she is the funniest thing and she is Latina so she is basically gorgeous! The three of us get along really well and have a blast together! This is gonna be an epic transfer!!!

 

3.FROG LEG: I tried frog leg. Its was nasty and chewy and tasted like crap. That is all.

4. INVESTIGATORES: We have investigators here!!!! Ahh its amazing! The only thing is Hispanics are way too nice. They don't say no! Its super annoying. We set up appointments and they don't show up. We just stop by and they are so friendly and let us teach them. But yeah its good. We are teaching two families right now and our main one is Elizabeth and her 2 boys. She is a single mom with four boys from 12-8months. She also has a daughter that was kidnapped and sold in Mexico and they have been looking for her for a long long time and oh man its so sad! I can't imagine! Yesterday we made breakfast and helped her boys get ready for church it was so fun! She has the sweetest boys!! Oh my lanta!!

LOVE AND MISS YOU!!!! xoxoxoxox Hermana Rice
