Half way done!

This week marks my 9 months in the mission!  9 down 9 to go.  how did that happen? seriously its flying by. slow down please

So, honestly we haven´t heard anything about mothers day yet.....so, i can´t really plan when we gonna call till we get the OK from our leaders. soooo, patience is a virtue. i guess we´ll just see eachother in 9 months. ;)  

I spoke too soon last week.  i literally sent the email saying we were ash-free, walk outside and we couldn´t see the hills from the haze of ash.  it was terrible, not in the sense that there was ash falling on us, it was in the air so it was bad to be outside a bunch breathing it. so we were confined to our house for 2 days unless we had fixed appointments.  So basically it was terrible in the sense that its hard to just sit around in the house, i wanted to be out working!  but now the wind´s changed so for now there´s no more ash.  but then again i say that and watch, i´m gonna walk outside after sending this to find the ash has returned.

So we´re entering winter and guess what, our water heater broke.  so we´ve been showering in ice cold water for the past 2 weeks. Lovely, 

I´m cursed.  the dogs hear are just out to get me.  so i´m in the middle of a contact when some dog comes up and pees on me. what the goodness?!  i don´t know which i prefer, being bitten by a dog or peed on by a dog....   haha, i actually died laughing, so much for that contact, it ended up with her telling me to go and change my clothes and me agreeing that that was a good idea.

So we´re walking down our drive way when i´m about to put my foot down and i see this HUGE spider, so in an attempt to avoid stepping on him i fell sideways into the gate.  seriously this was the biggest spider i´ve ever seen.  it was a tarantula just chilling in our driveway!  the video of my companion´s sad attempt of killing him cracks me up everytime.  her aim with her shoes was priceless.  so anyway, when she finally did manage to kill him, a million baby tarantulas started running in all directions. and that´s when we decided to leave, so we turned and ran.  great, now we´re gonna have a bunch of tarantulas running around our yard.

Yup, that´s my week.  i´m sorry i don´t know about mothers day yet, i´ll let you know when i´m gonna skype....somehow. .... :)

love you all!
