  Hello lovely people!                                                            October 25, 2021   Not really sure what to say about this week lol. I still hate biking. Ans I still think Las Vegas is super gross and ugly. But im loving it even when I don't. Also coming on my missionary has made me realize I have a weak stomach and I'm very picky (sorry mom). We eat a lot of fish at members house which makes me gag, in my mind of course. And everyone loooves shrimp... I will never understand why haha. My next area I will definitely say I'm allergic to seafood :)  Everything is pretty good here in Paraiso. We sadly had to drop the baptismal date of someone we have been teaching for a while.

They are so sweet and adorable. It was super cold outside and I didn't have a jacket so Hermana Perez gave me a beautiful shawl from Mexico. She wouldn't let me give it back so yeah.  Tuesday: exchanges! I don't like exchanges even though my STLs are awesome. It's just weird not working in my area.  Wednesday: zone conference! It was great. We are focusing on family hist...

  Hello fam!                                                                                           October 11, 2021 This week was really hard. I am adjusting slowly but surely to the area and all the new things that come with it. We had a lot of stuff happen that made it really hard to be a good missionary lol. For one, our zone leaders (I love them, bless their hearts) took our car away and gave it to other elders. They felt horrible and really didn't want to, there was just no other way. It just is so hard because we live 3 miles from our area and...
