I promise we do still talk to people on the street. Even if I never email about it. Okay here's a story of us talking to someone on the street. *Sister Matthews and I walking from our flat to the galleria* *luckiest girl in the world starts walking toward us* sister Matthews: "hi! How are you today?" *Girl: looks up, smiles broadly and about to answer but then looks down and sees our badge.* *friendly to confused to sheer terror she frantically steps back and eyes get wide* *proceeds to half run away.* *i look at sister Matthews* "did you remember to brush your teeth today?" Yes this is a real story don't question the exaggeration.  Just imagine dad trying to pick up Avery. That's what it is like.  Hahaha I love missionary work.  Sister Matthews and I made a deal that if we ran three days a row in the morning then we could get ice cream. That works right? I'm tellin ya we are too good to each other.  Speaking of my best friend ...

MLC The definition of a mormon is one going to, coming to, and sitting in meetings... I think Elder Holland said that. Could be wrong. But it perfectly describes the past week! Meetings upon meetings. Hello family!!! Man I was thinking of you all a lot. Yesterday we went to bishop's house for dinner. They are American and have 4 blonde girls. Sarah and Lily's age. It almost felt like I was with all of you! And I know there are even more birthdays now, so happy birthday Mom!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy happy birthday from all of us to you, we wish you happy birthday.....(I think I'm gonna finally send my letter today so look for it in The next couple of weeks) MLC was great. Elder Phillips came and spoke. Everything he spoke about was focusing on the Savior and loving people one by one. He said programs and plans are great and all, but the best thing you can do is take a piece of paper write down a list of names and love one at a time. He said the...

Dear family, Sorry this email is so distracted right now. I am trying to email multiple people at once and it is not working! Plus bad wifi. This week I got to go on an exchange with Sister Brito and Sister Brown. Two of my old companions!!! SO GREAT!!!!!! And I can't remember anything about the exchanges. My goodness my brain is fried. This week we needed to bike to the chapel for correlation. We bundled up an incredible amount. I felt like the younger brother in "a Christmas story" when he is wearing a million clothes and he hobbles around with his arms sticking out. Then the poor kid gets pushed over and can't get back up. Luckily Sister Matthews is nicer than that so I didn't get pushed over. She actually probably couldn't cuz she would fall over too! We ended up biking to the chapel in the dark...and the rain...it was a good trial of faith :). We bike along back roads of fields so there is very little light. Except sometimes when someon...
