1.RED: This first one is kinda silly but we were in the Dollar Store the other day trying to contact a potential investigator that we knew worked there but we couldn't be creepy so we decided to buy something so that it would be more nonchalant. So we were walking about trying to find something to buy and we passed the hair color isle and Hermana Smith says Hey can i dye your hair red tonight and i said Sure. So we split the cost of hair dye and got to set up an appointment with the potential and know my hair is dark red! It looks fabulous if i do say so myself:) haha

2. PIZZA RANCH: For Hermana Smith and my last dinner together we decided to go to Pizza Ranch for a treat. Pizza Ranch is an Iowan chain restaurant that has a pizza, salad, and southern food buffet. Its fabulous and definitely not heart healthy. Its the only place i know that you can have pizza and mashed potatoes on the same plate! But it works. Anywho, they have this thing called Cactus Bread and its a dessert pizza with cinnamon, strudel, and icing on it. The best thing of the night was that my lovely super duper health nut companion ate 7 SLICES!!!! It was incredible! This is the girl that gets fermented mushroom juice and dried ginger for a "treat"! It was a great night!

3. NEW LOVE: I have two new favorite foods in case ya'll wanted to know. First off let me say that i haven't had pasta or cheese in a couple months. If you know me well that is a big deal. So to cope with my lack of carbfest i have found new things to obsess over. Thai noodle soup and bengal spice tea. Thai noodle soup is rice noodle in both with a bunch of spices and stuff and i add chicked and veggies to my hearts content and bengal spice tea is an herbal tea that tastes like Christmas!! Sooo good!!!!

4.FUNERAL: So this week we went to a funeral. It was for the 6 year old boy of a former investigator. He was hit by as motorcyle and died on impact. They are hispanic and  Catholic so the funeral was held in a catholic church and totally in spanish. So we walk into the church and its an open casket and it was so sad but he looked really good. Then we all went into the chapel and had the service. It was very...different and very inpersonal. They just said a bunch of prayers and sang and read from the bible and chanted and had communion, nothing was really about little Jason. It was interesting. I didn't cry until i saw his mom, then i lost it. I have never seen anyone in that much distress and hopelessness and in so much pain, i just wanted to give her a huge hug and tell her that her son is with God and she will see him again. Boy, that was an emotional morning. 

5.TRANSFERS: Ok ya'll here is what you have been waiting for...my new companion!!! My new companion is......wait for it.........Hermana Rodriguez again!!!! Its so fun! Its great cause we don't have to do the whole awkward first couple days getting to know them, we already know basically everything about eachother!!
