Greetings, from the far far away land of Hopkinsville.
It is snowing! it has been snowing since last night:P it's ether close
to 12 inches or more... I really can't tell. Everything is closed
though. No cars have moved. No ones owns shovels over here. His
morning Hermana Hoferitza and I went out to play in the snow and we
helped our neighbor who needed to get his mom to work (she works at
the hospital, hospitals don't get days off). We were using brooms...
There was literally nothing else to use:) so hopefully the streets are
cleared by the time we have to go out tonight or we might be having
personal study for the rest of the night (we live in the middle of no
where and can't get very far without a car).
Side story: As I was sitting here trying to get some emails sent to my
fam my compa runs to the door and bring in a big bowl of what looks
like snow. She runs back to the kitchen and in a few minutes sticks a
spoon full of now colored snow in my mouth with a spoon... She made
snow ice Cream! And it was delicious!:D Kentucky makes me fat!
Hoptown has got to have some of the coolest members! We got fed every
day this last week. Everyone here is super helpful and loving. We have
a small Spanish group that consist of a couple Hispanics and a big
handful of members who served missions in Latin countries and now
speek Spanish. Have I ever told y'all that I love my culture!?
Sometimes it can be a little much, but most days it's fabulous. The
rowdy jokes, and the laughs, and the parties, and the dancing, and the
drama!:) ha it's all so silly! I love it. What I love the most though
is when white people act like Hispanics! Its the best!:D mostly really
though, their unbreakable testimonies of the restored gospel. It's
supper inspiring to see their life's change and the good that they do,
their dedication and love for service. I love my mission!
So I will introduce yall to my new compa:) she's from Syracuse Utah.
She went to Weber to study vocal performance. She wants to me an opera
singer:D yesterday I made her sing me some phantom of the opera
songs.... I almost peed my pants it was so awesome!! Her favorite
color is purple. She loves chocolate and when I play with her hair:)
she's awesome!
Leaving my last area must have been one of the hardest things I have
ever had to do in my mission so far. I love Murfreesboro with all my
heart. I can't wait to love all these new people!:)
We have a lot of things happening this transfer! We have lots of
meeting and activities... And birthdays;) it's actually my companions
birthday the 22nd:) we will both be turning 20 this month. How crazy!
I hope hall enjoyed your valentines:) mine was was one of the best so
far. I love you all!
