hey mom!

for real time is passing by way too fast! 2 weeks is nothing at all! but for some reason i don`t think it`s fully hit me that i`m leaving. maybe it`s just cause i can`t look much further past the 26th, cause that`s my last chance to have a baptism so i`m just working on that. it`s weird though, i don`t know how i feel about everything. i think i`ve said it before that i just feel like a little bit of everything, sad, happy, depressed, excited, it`s a weird feeling, i don`t like it haha. and the fact that just everyone wants to talk to me about that doesn`t help haha. i decided that this transition from mission to normal life will be harder than from normal to mission, cause at least before the mission i didn`t really have a purpose, i mean like i worked and went to school and did stuff, but i had like no real direction, so giving me one when i came on the mission was hard but good. now i think going back to the same thing, for at least a few weeks when i don`t have a schedule or something telling me what i should be doing every hour of the day, is gonna be hard. i just need to get a job fast so i don`t go too crazy haha. oh, and random side note, i don`t know if it`s possible, but i would like to make a song request for when i come home haha. they don`t have be still my soul in spanish so i haven`t been able to sing it for 2 years but it`s my favorite hymn, so if you could slip that to the bishop that would be great :)

well let`s see, hermano nelson is doing about the same. i didn`t get to see him this week cause we did divisions, but it just seems like he`s not really progressing even though he does everything we ask him. he came to church again yesterday, he always does just all by himself, but for some reason nothing has happened yet. i don`t know. he may just be one that goes in the area book and maybe sometime in the future he`ll accept it all.  the same thing with hermana velgica, i didn`t see her either, but we brought her to church for the first time yesterday so that`s good. she left after the first hour, so we`ll have to go by this week to see how she`s doing, and so hopefully there`s something there. things are ok with my comp too. i don`t know, there`s not really any big great or exciting news, but things are good.

so yeah tomorrow is my birthday. i already know i have 2 birthday parties haha, well kinda 3, cause i`m gonna buy one of those ice cream cakes from dairy queen too haha. ya know i`m just a little bit famous around here in chorrera :) haha no just kidding, but i love this place. and you`re gonna pass some brownies around? that`s a good idea. you could maybe see the hainsworth`s, or however you spell their name haha, they wrote me the other day, so that would be cool. maybe the beeson`s too, bishop beeson has always helped me out a lot. off the top of my head that`s all i can think of :)

i think that`s more or less it. time is short now. basically just this week and next week. i`m sorry everyone has been sick, i`m pretty sure i`ll be sick too though when i get home haha. congrats to trev too, that`s super awesome! i`m doing good too, happy, content. so i hope you all have an awesome week this week!

much love,
