Hola, Hola, Hola!!

HOLA HOLA HOLA!!!!!

How is my dear family and friends this week??? I am doing very very well.. this week was a weird week. We had so many appointments and we planned really well and I was so excited.. then guess what?.. it seems like EVERYONE cancelled on us. I was super sad about it. My trainer told me that it's just part of missionary work.

So this week I had my first freak out /breakdown over Spanish. Yes, I just needed to cry.... so I did.. my poor companion :) 

After I cried I felt so much better. SPANISH IS SO HARD! but I have been working REALLY hard and I can make some pretty bomb sentences!!  Everyone tells me not to worry that it will come but seriously it's so stressful. So I'm going to be patient,  study and pray my guts out!

This week during power hour we met this Alan guy....  we knocked on his door and sat and talked to him about being Mormon. He was kinda fighting with us on being baptized but my bomb companion pulled out all these awesome scriptures in the bible and he was like ohhhh??? maybe I need to be baptized. It was really funny! While we were talking to Alan, this guy that was selling steak came over and started asking us all these random questions like.. " did you live in those cult camps?' Us "no haha we live in normal houses" Dan: " REALLY?????"  Dan: " so you guys don't party like drink or smoke." Us " no no we don't drink tea or coffee either" " Dan: WHAT!?!?!? I HEAR UTAH HAS THE BEST WEED IN THE USA" US: " umm beats us?? " he was really funny he told us he really looked up to girls who had high standers. We gave him a Book of Mormon and told him to read it! He said he would read anything once.. he got our email address so if he had questions he could get in touch with us! It was really good! I hope he reads it! He seemed like an awesome guy!

IT'S BEEN SOOO SOO HOT HERE in Texas.. my missionary tan lines are pretty awesome not going to lie! When I take my shoes off it looks like I'm wearing socks.. its awesome! :) 

So this week I have been studying about the Atonement and trying to understand it more. I think when people hear the word Repentance they get scared or are confused. As I studied about it.... we need to repent everyday. Repentance is just a big word for Change. If we are trying to change to be a better person and to be more like Christ then we are repenting. I love in the scriptures how everyone is always saying REPENT! REPENT! be more like Christ. 

Christ  suffer for all of our sins and pains he is the only one who know how to help us. How dumb are we not to take advantage of this amazing gift and let him help us? I also learned that forgiving people is part of repenting. I have held on to a lot of things in my life that are robbing my peace. I need to forgive the people who have wronged me so I can be forgiven. I love the scripture St. Luke 18:27!

CONNOR!!!!! you email seriously made my fall off my chair laughing! I'll try and email you next week. Good luck selling this week! :) 

Well i hope you all are doing well.. pray that I can speak spanish! :) I LOVE YOU ALL

Con amor,

Hermana Crandall 

Diana...our investigators little girl.

Only in Texas!! Gotta love the BBQ Grill!

Smile Eddie!!

hiiiiiii!

Hola Mi Familia!

 Are you guys getting sick of me yet? ;) it seems like yesterday I got to skype with ya'll! ha oh wait that was yesterday!! It was good to see you all and talk to you!

Well it's a beginning to a very busy week.. we have 30 lessons schedule this week plus our Power Hours. I'm super excited about it. We have a baptism date for June 8th and I'm hoping and praying that she will prepare to be baptized.

I hope by this Saturday we will have 4 more baptism dates. Our investigators are progressing pretty well. We met this guy named Frank who is from AFRICA. He is VERY religious and we talked to him about our church and he was loving what we were saying. We said a prayer with him and gave him a Book of Mormon. One thing I have noticed is people don't know what we believe, they have heard so many rumors about "the Mormons" so when we explain they kinda freak out that we believe in JesuCristo.

 

Yesterday I went to the Pentecostal Church...... WOW.... WOW... I'm not sure I like a preacher YELLING in my face for an hour and I don't think that when you feel the spirit you pass out, but that is my own opinion. Lets just say it was VERY interesting.

I love the ward that I'm serving in right now, all of them are so nice and so FUNNY!! We had a ward activity for mothers day on Friday and it was so fun. MEXICANS know how to throw some good parties. Best ward party I have ever been to! :)

 

Our Ward party "get-up"!

This week we got to go to the Temple. it was so nice. The Houston Temple is SOO PRETTY!!! as we were taking pictures it started to pour!! When it rains here IT RAINS! but it makes everything look so pretty.

"I love to see the Temple"

Beautiful day at the Temple!

Sister Rife and I (such a gorgeous Temple!)

My companion loves to catch frogs and when it rains the frogs come out and I usually get chased with a frog haha!!

She is so funny! The other night I was going to get in the shower and she was like will you check the doors to see if they are locked and I was like oh yeah that's fine.. so I go and check and go into the bathroom and I shut the door and as I turned around she jumped out of the shower and scared the living DAY LIGHTS out of me!! I SCREAMED SO HARD and jumped and then screamed some more.. she is quite the prankster! ha We have fun together.. she lets every BUG LIVE! If we have a bug in our house she catches it and takes it outside....me on the other hand smashes it until its flatter than a pancake :) Texas has alot of weird bugs.. but I'm happy I'm here and not in BRAZIL! (counting my blessings....still!)

 

There is a little girl who is sooooo ADORABLE and she always comes to sit with us in church. She draws us pictures and has to put on all my jewelry. Every time we ask her what her name is she says.. "Hermana Princess" It is soo cute.

 

So I just read Kelby's letter about the whole Satan Journal HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAH the funny thing is, is that it's so true!!! Every time we teach the restoration and go to say the First Vision something weird happens.. like the phone will ring or the TV will turn on or something to distract them! 

 

So today my comp hasn't spoke to me in English.. my oh my.. lets just say our comp study was VERY interesting. It was mostly a game of charades haha! Anyways I love you all and I hope you all have a wonderful week.

Rain....Rain....

Anything to protect the hair do!! :)

Just drivin' to Church!

Cause we're cool like that! :)

 

Hola Hola Hola!

Hola Mi Familia! 

Can you believe its P-day again? This week has flown by!!!! The weather has been great, the people are amazing, it's been a great week!

So last p-day after we got everything done we went and played Kick ball with the English peeps in our area and the Spanish Elders that are in our ward! All the Elders were like " are you sisters really going to play?" and we were like "heck yeah!" I guess none of the English sisters or Spanish sisters like playing or hanging out with them.... Well pretty much everyone loves us! ;)

We found some new investigators this week, it was really cool how we found this one guy. We had an appointment and so we get there and no one was home, we were so sad! ugg...I hate when people cancel on us, but anyways we were walking back to our car and all of a sudden my companion and I look up and over at the same time to this guy who was waving, so we walk over and started talking to him. We were telling him our purpose and giving an overview and he was acting soo interested. He said that meeting us wasn't a coincidence because he was waving at his kids and then we both looked up and walked over. He said that it was a sign from God. We are meeting with him again tonight so I'm really excited to start teaching him.

 

Hermana Rife and I have been working so hard we had a baptism Saturday! John and Chris were baptized. Their dad isn't a member and so during the whole thing he was crying like a baby! :) We are hoping to start teaching him this week! 

 Before the baptism we had to clean the font and all that and guess what.. I had my first experience with a COCKROACH!!!!!!!!!!!! ewwwwww seriously ewww I hate them! I freaked out like a little girl and the Elders just laughed and laughed at me. those little bugs are going to be the death of me but I'm am VERY grateful that I'm not in Brazil dealing with bigger and nastier bugs! (counting my blessings)!

I have been trying to study the Bible this week. Everyone LOVES the Bible down here! I'm really enjoying it! I love how Jesus Christ teaches people and how he TALKS to everyone and  helps everyone he meets. I am trying to do the same. I have to talk to everyone and try my best to help and serve them! 

So the other night Hermana Rife wanted to look at some of my pictures so I was showing her some and she saw the picture of me and Sara Ward and she was like, "how do you know Sara"? and I said I worked with her at Maceys and TPS.. guess what.... Hermana Rife WORKED AT MACEYS TOO!!!! haha that is why we both felt like we knew each other! its was pretty funny!
 

Guess what I ate this week.... COW FEET... umm not the best thing I have ever had....ok actually it was pretty bad. I was sick that whole night and next day! But every thing else I have ate has been really good! :)

Sunday was a really nice day. Our church is from 3-6 so yes we FAST ALL DAY!! I don't think i'll ever mind fasting until 4 again! But I went and bore my testimony in Broken Spanish and right before I went to bear it, the Bishop stands up and says something I didn't understand, but after, everyone told me that he said "we are going to sing a song before Hermana Crandall gets up so she won't be nervous." my poker face must have been pretty bad. ;) 

After Sacrament meeting the cutest little boy named Jared came up to me and gave me a note that said, " you did a really good job on your testimony, then in Spanish it said.... " Tu Hiciste un gran trabajo en sus testimonio" it was so cute the way he said it was in Tu form which when people use that its like they are in love or talking to God.

Thank you to EVERYONE who is emailing or writing me! I'm sorry I'm a little behind on getting back to you all but I really appreciate it!

 

I hope everyone has a good week!!! 

ADIOS! 

Love,

 Hermana Crandall

Sister rife and I

Happy Birthday to my little brother serving in Ghana West Africa!

Hola....week #1 in the field!

My Batch....40 strong...Behold a Royal Army!

hola hola hola Mi Familia!

Well I have made it to Monday my first P-day!!!

Texas is AMAZING, the weather is good, my companion is AMAZING, my Mission President is AMAZING, and LIFE IS GREAT!!!!

Let me tell you about this week.. listo (ready)?

Wednesday I was the only missionary on the plane that didn't sit by another missionary. I sat by a man named Richard. He is from Texas and a music producer. We talked about his job, life, and blah blah and then he asked me about my badge. I was telling him about everything and he seemed really interested, so I gave him a Mormon,org card. He told me he hadn't met anyone so nice in his entire life. It was so nice to talk to someone who wasn't a missionary. :)

When we landed we met President and Sister Pingree and the AP's. They had like 10 members there with their cars for us and a HUGE trailer. That night we ate dinner and had interviews and just got to know each other. Hermana Hosking, Zebriskie, and Flech.... we all stayed at a members house that night.

Thursday morning we went to the transfer meeting and I MET MY "MOM" Hermana Rife, she is 22 and from Provo. She is amazing at speaking Spanish! She has been out for 9 months. I am so happy I got her as my trainer!

My "mom"....Hermana Rife

Driving in the Rain!!

After the meeting we all loaded the cars and headed to our new home! My new area is called Oakcrest,  It is in Tomball and Magnoila. We dropped our stuff off and went to this ladies house. I was soo nervous! but it turned out great!!! She has a really sad situation so my heart was breaking as we were at her house! :( Later we went knocking!! OH MY GOODNESSS!!!!!! Texas people love their BIBLE!!!!! I'm in for a real treat down here. This lady YELLED AT US about Joseph Smith and how we don't worship Christ. We would try and explain to her that we do and let her know what we believed but she was just not listening to us!.... so frustrating! She told us we need to study more and come back and tell her what we learned and then she says "IF YOU DON'T COME BACK, I'LL COME FIND YOU!!!" so we gave her instructions to the church :) that way we will get her to come to church..:)

I MET THE CASCO FAMILY!! I was SO SHOCKED when I saw Paola!! It was so awesome that I got assigned to her area my first transfer!!! Her and her family are so amazing, I already love them so much! They fed us and the Elder's the most amazing food! I'm so excited to get to know them better!! I already feel so loved  and welcomed here.

Paola Casco and Hermana Crandall...We met a few months ago on Instagram and she lives in my first area!!

Saturday we found 5 possible investigators! It was so crazy how we met them! The Lord led us right to them! We have a ton of appointments this week.

Oh and  IT RAINED CATS AND DOGS!!! I was so wet!!! but  at least it's warm rain! :)

LET ME JUST TELL YOU HOW AMAZING MEXICAN FOOD IS!! It's like I have died and gone to heaven! Seriously, it's so yummy!

SUNDAY...... Guess who had to teach Gospel Principles and Young Women's.. yup we did.. my first Sunday I taught in espanol! The Elder's were so funny after Sunday school they came up to me and were like "DANG are you from MEXICO!? Your Spanish is amazing!" (they were totally just being nice) but it was still pretty funny!

I thought I knew more Spanish . haha nope! I can barley understand anything! They talk 100 miles an hour!!! But I'm learning so much! I'm excited for the day I can have a simple conversation!

Happy news we have 2 baptism on Saturday!! It was so fun to meet them!!

So this morning we woke up bright and early and headed to a members house to do a service project! It was really fun! Hermano Ruiz is so funny!! He is constantly teasing me because he knows I have know idea what he is saying! They gave me a nick name.. Guadalajara because I look like I'm from there.. Big green eyes, dark hair and dark skin! haha they kept saying Muy bonita! (very beautiful).

 I'm loving Texas already! It's been a great couple days and I'm so excited for the next 17 months!

I really gained a testimony this week about how inspired my Mission President is, from the area I was put in, to the trainer I have! The Lord knew exactly what I needed! I'm So grateful for that! 

This week is going to be SUPER BUSY but I'm so excited to teach these people we have 13 investigator with a possible 5 more! YIPPEEE!!

TE AMO MUCHO!!!!....Pray that I learn Spanish!... saying Si or hola is getting real old! :)

ADIOS!!

Best goodbye present ever! I saw Paul Milsap of the Jazz (duh!)  in the SLC airport!

Arrived in Houston!

Best group of sisters....ever!

Week 5!

Hola hola Familia!

This week has been AMAZING!!!

Last weekend was really good we said goodbye to our favorite District in the Zone. It was bitter sweet! 9 of the Elders were going to Mexico City East and 3 Hermana's were going to New York New York North ( I might have been just a bit jealous!)

New York City North Hermana's

My BFF Elder at the MTC Elder Beesley heading to Mexico!

So Friday was an interesting day, a girl in my district walks in to our room CRYING hysterically. I asked her what was wrong and she said she was going blind. ..me and my companion looked at each other and immediately started to laugh because the first thing we thought about was no more Helen Keller jokes.. I know we are rude.. but she started laughing too. I told her to try and sleep to see if she could see after that... she  woke up and could see. She went to the Eye doctor and he told her it was just a Migraine. Then when we went to lunch that same day, one of the girls in the Zone went into quarantine...  yes THEY LOCKED HER IN A ROOM FULL OF SICK PEOPLE FOR 5 DAYS!!!!!! no one could talk to her or see her. it WAS SO CRAZY. It was quite an eventful day for a Sister Trainer Leader.

Saturday was kinda boring! All we did is studied outside. AND WE GOT OUR TRAVEL PLANS!!!!!!!!!!! We are leaving Wed. April 24th our flight leaves at 9:40AM!  I'M SOOO Excited!!! like I want to go right now!!  

Sunday we had a devotional by the head of Missionary Department Greg Droubayhe (Sp?) he talked about how much the church is using the Internet and advertising. It was way cool to see how much the church has Advertised in NYC, LONDON, LA and other places.  AND I LOVED SEEING CAMI AND AUSTIN AND KEN KEN.. it seriously made my whole week OK..... like 6 weeks ha.

My little Ken-Ken and name sake! I love her so much!

Monday was a typical Monday... LONG LONG LONG we have Class for 8 hours and then the rest is Study.. sometimes I want to cry haha. So after lunch I got a note that I had a package so I go to pick it up and NO JOKE it was in a Box almost as tall as me!! MY companion and I had to carry it. We got the strangest looks! All the Elders in my zone were freaking out! I was laughing soo hard! Inside was Tons of candy and balloons! it was so fun!! THANK YOU CRYSTAL!!

I LOVE PACKAGES!! Thank you Crystal!! Your support has been amazing!

Tuesday WAS AMAZING!!! Hermana Hosking and I taught AN amazing Lesson to our investigator. I feel like I can KINDA speak Spanish. We had a one on one evaluation with our teacher and My teacher told me that he is NOT worried about sending me in the Field!! I was seriously stressing! He said that my Spanish and teaching has improved a lot. So after that I felt a little more confident! That night we had a devotional and guess who it was... RICHARD G. SCOTT!!! It was SO amazing! You can tell when an Apostle of God is in the room. The first song we sang was Called to Serve, I think I'm going to miss singing that song in the MTC having 3000 Missionary's sing that song is SO POWERFUL!! anyway, Elder Scott talk about prayer and the relationship we need with our Heavenly Father. He told us that Heavenly Father loves us perfectly and he wants to hear from us. " To reach a goal you have never reached before you have to do things you have NEVER DONE" he told us that learning a language is hard work. He gave us an Apostolic Blessing that we would MASTER the Language. After he said that I was in tears. He talked to us like he was talking to us one on one. He blessed us with a blessing of peace. " We won't be asked to do something that we can't do." Having faith is so big in missionary work. With out it you WILL STRUGGLE!  he also talked about getting along with companion that we might not like, he said every morning pray and ask what we are suppose to learn from that person or situation. Sorry for all the quotes but it was just so amazing and powerful. "He that kneels before the Lord can stand in front of anyone."  I am so happy that I got to hear from an Apostle before I left It was so inspiring and so uplifting!

Wednesday was really good we were getting a little sick of being in the room with the Elders so we started to pull pranks on them.. I was laughing so hard!  I think they were a little surprised that we would pull pranks on them. I got one on one help with Spanish which helped a ton!!!! I can make sentences now!!! .... well kinda ;) WE were suppose to host this week but they told us no... :( we were all SOOO sad! 

TODAY.. We went to the temple this morning and then started packing!!! yes STARTED PACKING.. I have to much stuff.. oh well..  Tomorrow we have a 12 hour meeting it's call in field training. I'm not sure how fun that will be. :) but it just means no class YAY!

I love reading every ones letters Kelby, Hunter and Kelsey all seem to be doing amazing!! and to everyone who has written me I'm sorry for not writing back but I will don't worry!!! COURTNIE!!! EASTON'S picture you sent me was SO CUTE!! Seriously was dying! He is getting so big! I was thinking about how different the people we are all serving! It's crazy how cultured we are going to be.. when I saw the picture of Hunter baptizing that little boy I started crying!!! IT WAS SOO CUTE!!!

Well I Love you all and the next email you will get from me will be in HOUSTON TEXAS! Holla! Have a good week! Te Amo MUCHO!!!!

Week 4

Hola Familia!


Well it's been another week. This week was the hardest week yet, but going to the temple this morning  really helped. 
First off Conference was so good!! I love Elder Holland's talk! It really touched me! I loved Elder Uchtdorf's talk as well. It was really crazy to be in the MTC for Conference. We were all so excited to have NO class for 2 days but after 2 days I think we were all excited to get back in the groove of learning things :) I was pretty productive in the middle of conference sessions!! I Memorized the First Vision in SPANISH!! Yes I did.. thanks to my pal Elder Varner! it was SO funny. He would quiz me on it, I had trouble saying personajes and every time I would say it wrong he would freak out and jump up and say NOOOOO! After a while my entire zone was getting in on the action, but I can now say it ALL correct. I actually got to use it in my lesson this week. I was kinda proud of myself. 

Elder Varner

  This week has been kinda crazy. It is our last full week in the MTC next week we have training and all that and then I head out the next! ahh crazy! I'm so excited... the MTC food is really getting to me! 

I should be getting my travel plans tomorrow ( crossing my fingers). So that will be so exciting!  
I started reading the Book Of Mormon about 2 weeks go and my goal is to finish before I leave.. I have 2 more chapters in Alma, so I'm hoping I can do it! Its amazing how much I have gotten out of the Book of Mormon since being here. 
One of the quotes that I LOVE is. " through Jesus Christ he can make the Weak Strong" After this week I'm a FIRM believer. I have been trying to focus all my thoughts and decisions towards him. He knows what's best for me and my investigators. Today I was actually thinking that I have really realized my relationship with him. I now talk to him more than my family. He is always there, anytime of the day or night....It's amazing!
     
So my calling has been VERY eventful this week. We have a sister here who is just not obeying any of the rules.... like there is something new EVERYDAY!! So I have been having to talk to her everyday and I had to meet with the Branch President about it. I don't understand why it's so hard to follow the rules. She has a bad attitude about everything.... SERIOUSLY EVERYTHING!!! It's to the point where she has a week to change or they are sending her home. I feel really bad for her, but if you can't even follow the rules in the MTC there is no way you will do it in the field.

 I'm going to be so sad when I have to leave my district. We are all so close and my zone is super close too. I have made life long friends here. One thing I am going to miss is the Tuesday and Sunday Devotionals they are the BEST! I feel like they are exactly what we need to here. I got to meet with the MTC president this week it was a awesome opportunity. it was short but way awesome!  
 
Have I told you that Spanish is hard.. haha!! I have a week and a half to get somewhat fluent.. AHHHH stressful. I can barley make sentences. Pray that I can at least have a short conversation by the time I leave. It's real rough.... but I know it will come if i do my part.
My Spanish teachers are so funny. I love them, they have taught me so much in just a short amount of time.... its nuts. ...TEMPLE IN CEDAR!!?? What??? I was shocked when they announced it. Also when they announced that there were 65,634 missionaries.... I am one of those!! :) which is also weird to think about!!! 
I feel like i don't have a whole lot to say because I do the same thing " toda el dia, Cada dia" - " All day everyday." 
 
I hope everyone is doing amazing i miss you all!!! don't have to much fun with out me! ;) 
  

Love, 
Hermana Crandall

waiting for Conference with some of our Zone.

One of the districts filled 200 eggs and we had a little Easter Egg Hunt

That sneaky Rabbit! :)

HOLA...3 DOWN 3 TO GO!!

Hola Familia!

This week has seriously flown by!!!  Yesterday was my half way point! it's crazy!! I have been super busy with my calling. It seems like every night I have a leadership meeting or something. I'm really enjoying it though. My zone thinks I'm a celeb because I know so many people! hahaha it's always nice to see people you know. Anyways the Spanish is going good I guess.. I just have to remember I have only been here 3 weeks so I'm not going to be fluent.

Sunday we had a special Easter Sacrament with the ENTIRE MTC it was sooo awesome!! We had a guy from France speak to us during it, he reminded me of  Elder ALLAL!  We had a devotional later that night and I sat by this girl who is is going to Cambodia. We just started talking and I told her Kelby was speaking Hmong and  the 2 Elders next to her are going to MN.... speaking Hmong!!! it was sooo CRAZY! I was telling them about it and then we saw Yer so she was talking to them in Hmong also!! its was so much fun to see them! They seem like cool Elders!

This week is like a blur, Sunday night Kelsey came to my room and I had to say goodbye to her :( soo sad, but soo happy!

Our investigators are doing well. We ask one of them if they would be baptized and he said he would think about it.. so we were pretty excited about that!!!! :) I feel like I'm stuck in a class room for 15 hours a day!!! oh wait I am.. haha its a good thing though!! I love my district and zone.  So wanna know something funny.. I'm older than most of my teachers!! it's not that bad but kinda weird. :) I have really been learning alot here. it's crazy how tired you are at night.. not just physically but mentally and spiritually. Even though my investigators are  fake I still feel so much pressure to teach them what they need to know!

This week one of my teachers could tell our class was kinda stress so told us to close our eye and picture ourselves with a heavy backpack with rocks in it and to picture the rocks as all of our sins, struggles, and pains. Then he said to take each rock out and picture handing them to the Savior. As I was doing this I could feel the stresses and every struggle just leave me. It was amazing. He also challenged us to pray to have the confirmation that Texas is were we are suppose to go. I know that someone is waiting for me . God has been preparing them for me.

So funny story. The Elders in my zone think is so funny to scare me. so yesterday I told them ehh I don't get scared to easy and so I turned my head for seriously 2 seconds and the Elder was in my face the next!!! I FREAKED OUT AND SCREAMED AS LOUD AS I COULD!!! You all know how loud that is!! Pretty much the whole cafeteria looked at me! so embarrassing!

So this weekend we DON'T HAVE CLASSES because of General Conference! I'm so excited maybe my brain wont hurt as bad! ;)

I watch a talk Sunday night by Elder Bednar called Characters of Christ.. I suggest you alllllll READ it! or watch it! He talks about how a testimony isn't enough to endure to the end and and we all need to be converted! I had never really thought about it until I heard this. Being totally converted is a goal we all need to make.  it's a goal that you will work on everyday of your life!

Miss Yer Yang lives in my building so I see her all the time!! its great! she is really loving the MTC from what I can see.

I'm so ready to get out to Texas!! I think it will actually feel real.

How is everyone doing? I feel like I don't know anything that's going on in the real world it's weird.. and guess what? I actually don't miss my phone as much as I thought I would.. it's kinda nice not having it! ha

So  this week Hermana Hosking and I were working out and this girl who just got here last week worked out with us. We worked out somewhat hard and SHE THREW UP EVERYWHERE!! it was so gross. We felt sooo bad!.... lets just say we haven't seen her at the gym since then. :)
Then a girl in my district overdosed on NyQuil.. yes, I had to deal with a high missionary.. It was so funny but soo scary.

 The girls from Marriott sent me an Easter package with some Pepsi in it and we were walking back to class and one of the Pepsi fell out and STARTED SPRAYING ALL OF US including the Elders I was laughing so hard! 

I'm  such a space case right now.. it's hard to update you guys once a week.. I always forget things. I got to see the dearelder girls today! The food here is NOT GOOD! I'm so over school lunches and its hard because you are so hungry but nothing sounds good!! anyways life is good!! Spanish is good.. 3 more weeks and I'm out of Provo prison.. yes that's what we call it! 

Love you all!!!!! WRITE!! seriously I get so sad not getting letters!

LOVE,

Hermana Crandall
