Letter to Mom and Dad

thanks for all the photos !!! i got them printed today. hairspray looked like it was awesome. yes, you should have done a video. but i almost cried seeing that pic anyway, so maybe just a pic is better. jake never sends me pictures!!! dumb

also my favorite word i have learned here is "bulbo". it just means idiot. lol i use it way too often. but its pretty funny.

I CANT BELIEVE YOU SAW LAURA MICHELLE KELLEY!!!!! SHE IS LIKE MY IDOL!!! i am soooooo jealous. lol throwing it in like its no biggie. my knee is doing better btw!! no problems. i just bought new shoes today!!!!! my comp isnt as much of a shopper as us.... i could have gone all day and spent everything ever!!! hahahhaa but these two pairs of shoes are way cute.

one thing i have been kind of struggling with thats a little annoying is there used to be a different hermana thomas in this mission who was known for being pretty flirty and a little more than flirty with the elders.... so a lot of the not so great elders just give me really weird vibes and as soon as they see my name they like start acting weird. idk. i hate it. but she is gone and all those elders go home after this change or next, so it should be fine. just annoying that she tainted my name. i hope i never serve in areas she was in.
you should buy stevie back for your new car. ISLAND PARK! que divertido. lol pickleball is fun, i want to play here. me and my comp play soccer together once or twice a week. that 3 v 3 sounds pretty boss.

hairspray looked SO COOL!!!!!

i am doing really well. this week was a little rough, but i am doing better now. i sometimes just have breakdowns that come out of nowhere. i hate it. i can be perfectly happy and then something small happens that makes me lose it. but i hope that stops further into my mission. it is only like once every few weeks that that happens. it was all okay though and i am really happy again. i read something in adjusting to missionary life that helped lots too. it basically said "sometimes missionary life is kind of boring, and thats normal. not every day is a miracle." so now i am just adjusting more and doing better. still frustrated with the language, but it is coming. i understand better, i just have a hard time spitting out my words.


i am still super happy and time is FLYING!!! i love you
