Yes, we eat every day. They don't stuff you as much, though because everyone's a little bit more Americanized and successful over here. I feel like i'm in an English ward (I mean branch). ;) Yes, I got the packages! Thank you so much! I will obey your command and save the two for Sunday. I'll make sure to take pictures, too, so you feel like you were there. We'll be wearing the birthday hats and everything. :) No, I did not send the memory card yet. I was waiting so that you could get pictures from ensign. I will send it today, though! Last week was just very hectic, though, because I had to pack and everything.
It's been a little hard leaving Ensign, especially after having been there for 4 transfers. I did go to Jaime's baptism! It was awesome! His wife, Louisa gave me a pretty legit herbal life mug. ;) I'll take a picture of it. This area is HUGE!!! The biggest area in the mission. Our branch meets at the mission office and we email here, too. I just got all those packages and President tried to steal my Oreos. It's different being around him all the time... the AP's are in our zone, too. We have the nicest apartment! Two full bathrooms, two huge bedrooms, each with a walk in closet...it's nice. Except that they did construction outside our window the other day and we haven't had hot water for like 5 days...
Tomorrow Neil L. Anderson is coming to the mission to speak to us and the west mission. It's going to be awesome! i'm excited. :) Gladys Knight is even coming! Sometime in October I think...I wrote down the date in my other planner. She's going to put on a concert for the mission, but we can only go if we bring an investigator. Apparently a big reason she's doing it is to kill rumors about mormons hating blacks or something because there's a lot of them here in Vegas that make up most of the English missionary's teaching pool.
This area has sooooo many places to go...to shop, to eat.. East just had like Walmart, McDonald's, Jack in the box... they are complete opposite areas. And it's super nice up here because it's mostly in Henderson. Before when I was in East I didn't think I would ever want to live in Vegas, but it's niiiiiiice over here.
There's another baptism on Friday at 730 in Ensign that i'm going to. Norma and Michelle Martinez, and then Jose Valadez is getting baptized on Saturday at 10am. So yes, I will go back again for those! It's crazy how I didn't realize how much I really loved those people until I left them. The Valadez family gave me a pair of gold hoop earrings. Hermana Valadez cried when I left. It was kinda sad.
I'm glad you are all doing good! You are always in my prayers, don't ever forget it! See you in 11 months.
