ahhhh!!!

So remember when i said that at the mtc it got real?? nah nah nah! here in the field it JUST GOT REAL! i dont eeeeven know where to begin!!! 

well last week it snowed during one of our last days at the mtc and it was just soo much fun!! me and my comps were freeeeakin out!! so we were just playin in the snow and were late to class...oops but it was just soo sad to leave the mtc..i freakin LOVED every moment of it!!! met lots of awesome ppl and it was just seriously amazing!!! 

so on wednesday we woke up at 4 to take a train down to the mish and lemme tell u, i was DEAD on my first day! my trainer is sis judd from arizona and shes soo funny! shes really nice. we get to our area which is btw, a new stake that was just made 2 weeks ago, so me and sis judd cover 7 wards and the funny thing is that we are whitewashing the area! so ya know, im REALLLLLLY confused on whats going on.... i actually have no idea whats going on...ha we are just tryin to get around finding new info but its hard bc its a new stake so itll be an adventure...

u may ask how are we "getting around?" oh thats funny bc on my first day, i said i dont have a bike, nekkkk minnut the zone leaders drop off a bike bc WE ARE IN A BIKING ZONE! like say waaaaaaaa?! its funny bc my comp and i arent all that great at bikes..and another funny thing is that our area is kinda hilly, the stake we are over is called herriman mountain view stake... did u see that word "mountain??" IMMA BE BIKING UP A MOUNTAIN!!!!!!! can u eeeven pic that??? so mama, if u get a call from an 801 number its probzzzz the hospital...jokes jokes! nahh but farreal doe! lol like we've been walking for the past few days bc my comp left her bike in her old ward and lemme just say wallking up to one of our areas the struggle is TOO REAL!! like i be huffin and puffin by the time we get to the top, but ya know by the time we get to the top i be singin, "STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM NOW WE HEAAA!" like real talk! and then my comp tells me to stop..bahaha but the song that seriously gets me thru my days is kanyes "that that that that dont kill me, can only make me stronger" thats how ive been feeling lately.... 

but the members are so nice!! we get fed dinner EVERY NIGHT!! good thing im exercising right?? haha but its nice! 

so i thought that sundays were the days of rest right?? weeeell i feel like sundays are our busiest days!! we woke up at 5:55 bc we had a stake PEC meeting at 730 (i didnt even know what it was) and maaaan i was strugglin..but its all worth it!! :) we went to 3 different wards yesterday and ppl were coming up to me but i seriously didnt remember ANYONE bc ive been meeting so many ppl that its confusing to keep up with everyone...like the wards are so big that they go thru the cultural hall...and its funny bc we went to 3 different wards and apparently the topic for each class in those wards was marriage so i learned a lot about that yesterday ha 

but OMG LEMME TELL U...IM LIKE THE DARKEST person here!!! even after i lost my hawaii tan...(rip sunkissed skin) its funny bc like no one can pronounce my last name..haha 

but the ppl we have met are just awesome! we have a baptism this saturday bc of the elders that left the area set it up but itll be exciting to attend! but theres definitely a lot of work to do so itll be an adventure!! the ppl here are so nice!! im just so glad today is pday so we can relax... every night when i get home i just wanna crash but nekk minnut we gotta do our daily planning! lol

today we are getting our pics taken by a pro photographer to make flyers for our ward about missionary work, ill be sure to mail one home...lol 

but the work out here is going! slowly but surely! its exciting and cray at the same time! i still cant believe im here! its soo beautiful in my area bc theres this spot where  i can stand and i can see all 3 temples! truly amazing! the CHURCH IS TRUE! haha nahh but real talk! bc if it wasnt, i wouldnt be heaaa! lol 

but i love my Savior and the work that is gonna get done here in the Herriman Mountain View Stake! #oookillem (my companion doesnt know what that means...smh) 

i love and miss you all!!! thanks for the support!! means so much to me!! oh and btw, i can only receive mail thru my mission address not my actual address...lo siento...:( but hope yall have a good week! enjoy the warmth!! 

love you more than u know<3
