how come everytime I sit in front of the computer to write to everyone, the first thing that pops into my mind is: "alrighty"? answer me that. riddle me that.

we walked to the post office this morning for my comp to send something and it felt like 100 degrees. the stls pick us up and it says its only 73. we are in for a hot one. buckle up buttercup.

work wise: we found one new investigator named Rogelio. I think of Rog back in oside. we made cookies and heart attacked some less actives in our area as well as the bishops. because the bishop does so much for the ward and loves them so much. and his family works so hard too. so we wanted to show them we love them.

MIRACLE!! miracle this week was when we were discussing who to give the cookies to, we thought about this one less active family. they have been less active for 2 years. and they stopped going to church out of the blue. and we have gone to their house every week since ive been here. and every week they say they will come to church. the last meeting we had with them they said that nothing was keeping them from coming to church. that they knew they needed to go. but they just wouldn't! and so we stopped going over. sometimes you have to drop your less actives too. so we didn't go over to their house for like 2 weeks. we were pretty heart broken. when we were picking which houses to go to, we both felt like we should give them some cookies and heart attack their door. we didn't want to because we were butt hurt, but we knew we needed to. the next day, the guys dad passes away. that's not a miracle. its actually pretty sad. BUT! THEY CAME TO CHURCH YESTERDAY!!!! for the first time in 2 years! and they didn't need to be invited. they took the sacrament and the Hermana started reading her Book of Mormon. all I can say is I am as happy as a clam.

are clams happy? why?

this one is! (finger points at me, Hermana kiara harker) *ding! *sparkle on teeth as I smile

I'm just going to be honest. being a missionary is dang hard. just stating the obvious.  because no one said it was easy. theres too many things to do and not enough time in the world. but I love it.

I'm coming up on my 9 months. Hermana adams said that ill have a break down. I guess everyone has one? 9 month mark is soon after mothers day. that might be my break down. its gonna be a doosey.

yesterday was Dia de Nino. translation: day of child. childs day. theres mothers day, fathers day, oh yea and don't forget childs day. I remember my mom would say "everyday is childs day" in response to the question of why there is no childs day. at least I think It was mom. sorry if I threw you under the bus! I love you! we planned an activity. we were expecting like 50 kids. only 14 came. it was still awesome! its only as fun as you make it! its funny with this culture, because you tell everyone it starts at 6 when in reality it starts at 7 and they still get there 15 minutes past 7. man, I love them. they are so funny. Spanish is getting along. practically latina, just limiting myself to fewer tortillas. because man they pack a punch and an extra roll on my stomach. ammi right?

well its been fun. as always, I love you all lots. with all of my heart! have a great week! don't forget to say your prayers!

love, Hermana kaira kiara harker!:)
