Week 2-- Crushed it

Helloooo all
I guess there isn't much to report on... I'm learning mucho every day and I'm definitely giving my brain a workout. FUN FACT blue light glasses really do work! I'd 15/10 recommend them to anyone staring at a screen for an unreasonable amount of time every day (which, let's be honest, is most of you).
I got to volunteer at the Bishop's storehouse today so that was pretty fun. I was the only one there who could speak spanish so they were really kicking my butt. It was good practice, but let's just say I've got a lot to learn. 
ANYWHO I'm having tons of fun, my companions are awesome, my district is awesome and my teachers are awesome and I'm learning so so so much every day. 
Here's a spanish pun for you to enjoy, courtesy of one of the Elders in my district:

What is the coldest color?

Yellow

(If you don't get it, look up "ice" in spanish)

Hope everyone isn't quite going crazy being locked inside all day. If you're bored, open up your scriptures. There's plenty of nuggets of wisdom to keep you going. (Phillipians 4:7, Judges 3:17) (I'm kidding about Judges 3:17... but it's there if you need a good laugh)

Wings of lightning....

I finally took pictures this week so I have something to show you guys!  This week was insane and probably one of the best weeks of my mission so far. Here are some highlights: -It POURED rain out of nowhere (gotta love monsoon season I guess) lots of lightning too  -We pulled weeds and it was super muddy hahaa - Someone had QUAIL and gave us some pickled quail eggs and also a FAT zucchini. (we made muffins using the zucchini)  - There was a church building in Fruita (nearby city) that was burned down a couple months ago (arsen) and they just announced last night that the church was just going to bulldoze the property and not rebuild it for a couple years.... That was sad news but its okay.  And my FAVORITE part of this week was teaching Neena. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith and she was just in awe. We asked if she believed it, and she said she did so we invited her to be baptized. She picked her own date (August 15th) and she was so excited ...

Thoughts on bees...

This week was crazy long. but today I just want to tell you about some bees I don't like bees. They are loud and they sting and we eat their vomit.... Nasty. They are just not my favorite bug at all.  Someone in our ward is a beekeeper. He was showing all the 8-11 year old girls how the honey was made, and we were invited (because inwardly, we are 8 years old). He showed us the bee boxes, and explained how they worked. A couple things I learned: All the bees you see are female. The male bees rarely leave the hive Male bees don't have stingers. They have about a 5 mile radius Every batch of honey tastes a little different, depending on the flowers they visited And many other random facts. And you know what? The more I learned about those bees, the less I hated them. At the end, a bee just about flew into my face, but I hardly flinched. They were just happy, little innocent insects minding their own business, working their little butts off and making that honey for us to enjoy. M...
