so first off, thanks everyone for the letters and packages! we have a tiny little tree in our apartment surrounded by all your stuff and it just makes me super happy everytime i see it :)
k, for skype, what is your skype name mom? and dad (just send me whatever skype names exist in our family just in case one doesn´t work) and just in case my skype name is aubrey.hebdon so look me up and add me to your contacts or however that works beforehand. i think i´ll send you the time next week cuz Hna Rhees hasn´t heard back from her family.
Mom, i have a huge favor, will you type up and send me an email with your sugar cookie recipe (the one with sour cream?) ASAP so i can make them before Christmas. Please and thank you :)
life is so crazy. there´s a ton of stuff happening with christmas so we´re constantly running from place to place (quite literally) and my immune system finally crashed so i have a super bad cold so my energy´s a little drained (more than a little, my brain´s dead pero bueno :)
it was a bit of a discouraging week bu7t no matter, we´ll just work all the más duro ésta semana. (i tried to put that in english but it sounded super weird so it just makes more sense in spanish). we lost all our good investigators. one who had a baptismal date randomly packed up and moved to the country, i don´t know what happened to evelyn and eduardo but they´ve lost their desire and maria´s husband won´t allow her to be baptized. so we have some interesting situations but we´re pulling through it with God´s help. i´m trying to keep up my animo (i don´t know the word in english so google translate it) but its a struggle when it seems like every day we´ve lost another person.
but just cuz it was a discouraging week didn´t stop me from laughing at my stupid moments.
Quote of the week: ¨in the CCM i somehow became Asian!¨ :) i was enjoying talking to my companion in english a bit too much i was saying 1000 words per minute without really thinking.
then yesterday my mind was just dead and my head not clear with this bad cold and we´re knocking on doors and this lady answers and i say ¨mucha gusta!¨ hah fail. yah she slammed the door in our faces. but i just died laughing.
so the ultimate test of whether you know spanish: ordering a pizza in spanish on the phone. seriously hardest thing i´ve ever done. it only took 10 different times of me calling to get it right. but it was worth the pizza :)
talking about pizza, the elders in our district managed to spend all their money for this month on dominos pizza and now have half a month without any money or food. smart.
weirdest thing that´s ever happened to me: we printed out a ton of invitations for the activities we have in the ward. and so we bring these beautiful invitations home and as i tap the papers together to get ready to cut them the ink literally plops off the pages leaving a pile of dried ink on the table with blank white sheets of paper in my hands. how´s that´s possible? i have no idea....
so yeah, it was somewhat of a discouraging week but we still laughed a ton and enjoyed ourselves. but i´m super excited for Christmas, even though it still doesn´t feel like christmas. i hope i get over this cold cuz i´m supposed to sing for the ward activity and in church next sunday so its kinda a problem. anywho, i love you all! thanks again for all the pkgs and letters! (i´m sorry mom, i crashed and broke into the candy you sent for christmas, it was just one of those weeks where you need sugar ;)
l love you all!
- Hermana Hebdon
P.S - MOM don´t forget to send me your SKYPE NAME or we´ll have a bit of a problem on the 26th (and don´t forget the recipe too cuz i just need some sugar)
