Hola Familia (HELLO FAMILY)-
¿Qué Pasa? (WHAT'S UP?) ¡Tengo about 2 semanas in el CCM! (I HAVE ABOUT 2 WEEKS LEFT IN THE MTC) ¡Estoy Animo!(I'M EXCITED) Things are good. We are all Spanish now...so I'm sorry for my English. But yo ir al San Diego-tengo que aprender Mexican y mas español. (BUT WHEN I GO TO SAN DIEGO-I HAVE TO LEARN MEXICAN AND MORE SPANISH) So we have 3 new Hermanas (SISTERS) in our room now, they aren't in our zone but whatever. One is from San Diego. Anyway...our room went from 3 to 6 and it's pretty crowded. But at least we all have the bottom bunks. Okay so we've been reading the missionary handbook, and it told us to be obedient...and iron our clothes...(which I haven't been doing because I hate it) So I woke up the next morning went into the hall to the iron, plug it in and turn it on. Start ironing, as soon as it touches my skirt smoke and stink...and a shiney new melted hole in my brown skirt...entonces (THEN)... I need a new brown skirt at least, because I can't even switch shoes now. Because all the rest are black and grey. Great huh? I think you said there was a sister missionary mall in Layton didn't you?...hint...thanks. gotta go.
Oh, I walked into a pole the other day. I saw it and everything. Just kept walking. it was pretty funny. I'll admit...
Thanks for all the packages...

Emails to Jen
Hey, Sounds like you had fun...and sounds like your face is pretty fat by the way
mom made it sound. I definatly have to see some pictures. I've been to the Manti pagent before, so I know what the temple looks like, I've always wanted to go down there, but never found the time to do it. So the roomies moved out, its just us 3 again in the room. I like it better this way. One of the other sisters kept waking me up with her snoring and one night she was yelling in her sleep. I was the only one that heard it apearantly but it was really loud. So I've got about a little less than 2 weeks left in utah. crazy... Oh, for our tuesday night fireside, we got to hear from Elder Hales. He spoke about the atonement. It was really cool, We skipped dinner to go wait in line, for an hour. But we got floor seats(honestly I would have rather sat in the lower part of the bleachers, I couldn't even see him.)Then when it was over we were just walking out the door to go back to class, when I looked up at the sidewalk and there's Elder Holland. It was really cool, we waved and he told us he loves us. Then right behind him was, Elder Christofferson, and Scott. Then all the 70s and Mission Presidents. So someone behind me cheasily started singing. So we sang (it was really cheesy!!) But yeah all in all at the fireside was (Elder: Hales, Perry, Holland, Scott, Christofferson) (Richard Hinkley, and a bunch of other neato people) So cool beans! Also There's some twins that
got here the same day that I did, THere both really nice, I just found out that they
played piano or something on the RM soundtrack. I think something like that So look for the name (CHATLIN) or maybe I spelled it wrong... Entonces (THEN)...Tonight is Hermana Miller (MI MAESTRO)'s (MY TEACHER'S) last day. Que Triste (That Sad)... She's going to Peru and Bolivia for a month. Yeppers... Anyway...I chuckled when you told me you got kicked in the face. It reminded me of when I was unzipping my tent to go out and go to the bathroom, and I heard that aweful noise(THE OWL) and zipped it back up. I miss camping already. We are right up in the mountains here, so when we go outside its really pretty. I think next time we have Gym outside, I'm going to take my camera and just take pictures. I really miss taking pictures...Anyways. I'll send some pictures in this letter.(the one in the Mail) Oh and post this on my blog because I don't remember who wrote it to me, But anyone that wants me to write to them, has to write to me. So yeah, you should post this on my blog... And also How many hits does it have... Because if its not bajillions,you don't even have to do it anymore. So let me know, and I'll tell ya if you should do it or not I guess... Anyway...Oh I got a cool new watch... I thought it was stupid at first, but then I was trying to turn the alarm off, and I pushed the wrong button and the light on it, changes colors. its really spiffy If I do say so myself. Yeah, Send me some more pictures of Tyson, only print them as real pictures, My eyes have gotten worse since I've been here and they just look too fuzzy for me. You can send them to maceys on a tuesday, I think they are still doing the 12 cent special every tuesday. So give it a good ol' school girl try...:) Que Chistoso! (That funny!)
ANNETTE: I thought it was just in our building that they name vaccumes, But its all of
the buildings...how funny is that!!
MIKEY: Que pasa Calabaza? Gracias por su comentario...
Oh and I've seen and talked to Natalie Shaw a few different times...Its fun!!
Bueno...(WELL)
Hasta Proximo Vez! (Until next time!)

Hello Fmaily-
¿comó estan? ¡estoy muy bien, muy felizWe are now an HSI District Hable su Idioma (Speack your language) that means my english is going to suffer. I'm just going to use that as my excuse Ü) I don't really know what to say. Things are good. Still learning tons. Teaching in spanish. The district says thanks for the brownies-they are celestial *(ANYONE WHO HAS EVER TASTED MY MOM'S BROWNIES KNOW THAT IT IS TRUE!!!) We have a 'progressive investigator'. It's just for pretend, but it's still fun. We teach her in English. My teacher's are awesome. Hermano Chandler is 23 and going to law school in the fall. Hermana Miller just turned 25. She's awesome. She's going to be a math teacher. My companions are awesome. Herman Harrell is 1 semester from graduating when she comes back. We decided we're going to come home and do service missions and travel. HMA Gormley is fun. She always makes me laughl El Fin (THE END)

Hola Familia,
(Here's my question-Is everyone in your district spanish speaking or is a bunch of missionaries just randomly put together? Jen: In my district 3 of us are going to San Diego. 1-Argentina 1-(well it was 2 but one went home)Dominican Republic 2-Chicago 1-Penn Harrisburg. All spanish speaking. So we're going all over, but were all spanish, I just assume than they put a lot of prayer into deciding districts. We had a new 0 com sit in for a 1/2 hora de la clase (1/2 hour of class) today. Y (And) we are in todo español(all spanish). now, so lo siento(i'm sorry), but my letters will get worse.
Oh! Happy Birthdays Dad and Jen and Happy Father's Day sometime this month too. With Emails: don't email me. i only get 1/2 hour on thursday to email. you can send 'dear elders' as much as you want pero (flaw/defect) i'll just send one if i forgot to write something in my letter. Dear Elders come every day. So that's the best way if you want me to know something quick. Thanks for the gailletas (cookies)! Fueron muy delisiosa (They were very delicious).
Anyway...Things are great. Yesterday in class w/hermana Miller a new 70, his wife , a boss for BYU employee thing, and a member from the MTC presidenct sat infor a 1/2 hour porque (because) it's manditory for new 70's, but it was weird. We are completly spanish now. Even teaching in spanish. It is so much fun! Me Gusta Mucho (I like it alot) For service every saturday morning (6:30) we start and go clean toilet! I like that much more than spanish Ü just kidding it's really grose (spelling error by Stacie) I think it's really funny, all the vaccuums here have names. It's funny. I don't really know what else to say

La Familia Baker,
Hey Madre - Can you write to the Sister Missionary Mall and tell them their clothes are all crappy? I've had to sew tons of buttons back on & now the dress shop is having to fix my zipper on a skirt. Hermana Harrel said she had a fireside from the dude that owns it, & weh they get letters they sometimes get them free clothes. ¿so will you give that a try por favor? This week has rocked! Last Monday we were in the RC center doing inbound calls & chats. We got this chat from a girl named April. We started talking about the Ley de chastity turned it into the restoration & prophet then to Christ. She ordered a BOM & we set an appointment to talk to her again on Monday! So Hermana Harrell & Gormley & I have a real live investigator! On Sunday Fox RX Julie B Beck talked (General RS Pres) & Tureday it was Sis Dibb
(2nd counselor in Gen YW) Also Pres. Monson's daughter cool hun! Elder Butler went home. I don't know if I told you that yet. Then Elder SEcrist left for the Dominican Republic this morning. Jen: Dad asked me if you guys could send me pictures. So I said yes, just send whatever you want. Hey could you send some more brownies some time. We (Hermanas) ate them all before I could share w/the district. ¡Grasias! We teach in the TRC & TEC a ton. It's fun. I got all the pills, thanks a bunch! Send pictures of Tyson sheking hands. That is so funny. I'll send pictures in e-mail probably tonight so you'll get them before you get this letter. Tricia Powell writes to me. She's cute. Jen your talk was good. Pretty full of Doctrine & looks like it lasted maybe 35 segundos. Tell everyone I say Hi. Not this week, but nest we start teachingthe full lessons in español, Todos en español: Y entones vamos a hablar todos español en la clàse! si i no chiste! ¿ies loco verdad!? Hermana Baker Grasias por sus cartas
*The spanish doesn't make sense to me so we just guess...
