Week 54

Hi family!!

So...I forgot my camera. I had pictures I wanted to send of the week. But it will just have to wait till next monday!

Today is father's day in spain so...

Happy Father's Day!!! :)You can however, see photos of me and my new hija on the mission blog! (http://www.spainmalagamission.blogspot.com/ ) and then next week I will send better ones. This week was SO fun! I loved it. And I love Hermana Nelson :) She is such a champion!

Let me just give you the low down on how awesome my greenie is. She is from Provo (yes...the one that Grandma was talking about) She is 5'11''/6' tall. She plays basketball and is totally hilarious. And maybe the happiest person I have ever met. I for real have not seen the smile leave her face since we've been together. It's so great. She is super excited about everything...which is fun because I'm excited about everything too!! :) But here's the kicker...her birthday is October 6. yep. real story. we have the same birthday. We about peed our pants on the bus to Murcia when we figured that one out. Everyone that has seen us together is like, 'you're the same person!' hahaha man it is funny. we even have brown hair and similiar body types....it's weird. but we are having fun.

Plus, this is a great time to come into our mission...and Murcia. Our mission already has 91 baptisms this year! We are just breaking Málaga records. And, Murcia is the best place in the whole world :) I've already got hermana nelson running around all over the place with me. I missed Murcia while I was gone.

Last week...we spent p-day in cartagena. I got to see the beautiful port there on the ocean and one more day in cartagena and then we came back to Murcia for a couple more days. It was fun being in that little trio. We had some good adventures. On wednesday night, we had one of the best english classes of my life! we had 12 students there!! (normally we have like 5 on a really good day) and half of those 12 are investigators :) yessss. we played 'do you love your neighbor?' and it was hilarious. especially since none of them know english yet. But it was fun. one of our investigators, james, sounded like he was speaking chinese when he was saying 'do you love your neighbor?' hahaha oh I love my life.

Then we went to Málaga to spend the night in fuengirola at the mission home. always a treat! Hermana clegg made us american meals and we just learned a lot about how to be a good trainer. I was so nervous and excited to meet my new companion! With so much anticipation! But it was so fun! Hermana Nelson said that when all of us trainers walked in, she knew I would be her comp bc of how tall I am. haha awesome! So, we took pictures, ate burritos and then got BACK on the bus for another 5 hours. And it's been happily ever after :)

oh! also! something funny...is that hermana Gibson is training too....which makes me a grandma in the mission! haha yay! and hermana gibson's hija is from Murray! Hermana Petru.

oh and...no big deal...I just hit my YEAR MARK on thursday. The same day I picked up Hermana Nelson. So weird. I can hardly believe how fast time is flying. But...I plan on taking advantage of every second I have left!

Well fam...I love you so much!!!! Have fun with Gma and Gpa for easter! And good luck with your cancer dad :)

you are in my prayers

con muuuucho amor,

hermana ross
