What up, what up what up!!!! One of the elders in my district is learning English and that is how he says hello on the phone, it is great! So yes, I am a day behind. The log in was not working yesterday, something about server problems so that is always fun :) This week was amazing!!!!! Because it is the last week before changes it was kinda sad, because we do not know what is going to happen. But we had a lot of fun, enjoying this last week we have together. For example, we made homemade pizza with a member family - they are the best!! We found water melon, too! SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!

I hit four months yesterday, it is crazy how fast time is passing, crazy sauce!!! So many things are happening and the time is flying!! I love all the different variety of people that I get to meet. There is an elder in my district that can speak Quechua, it is so cool, he is from Peru. For example, Imaynalla Kachkanqui, which is Spanish is "Como estas?" or in English "How are you?" It is so fun!!! 

This week, I had a harder time walking without tripping. I fell a good three times this week...usually on flat surfaces. Yay!!! Lately it has been really hot and humid... it is bad, the start of summer was yesterday and it has already hit 104... it is a lot of fun. It feels like you are swimming as we walk. The downside is that I am always covered in sweat. Plus side, I could qualify for the Olympics once I get back - I was thinking the 400 meter backstroke? 

Looking forward to changes as I am officially finished with my training tomorrow!!!!!!! 12 weeks already!!!!! Not sure what is going to happen but it will be great! I love you guys a ton, thanks for all the support!!!

Love,

Hermana Douglas

"Give me all. I don't want so much of your time, your talents, money and so much of your work: I want you. All of you. I have not come to torment or frustrate the natural man, but to kill it. No half measures will do. I don't want to only prune a branch here and another there, rather I want the whole tree out. Hand it all over to me, the whole outfit, all of your wants and wishes and dreams. Turn them all over to me, give yourself to me and I will make of you a new self image. Give me yourself and in exchange I will give you myself. My will shall become your will, my heart shall become your heart." ~C. S. Lewis
