ok now i gotta tell you about the pastery of the week!!! ALFAJORES!!! goooooodddnesssss!! sooo good! it is like two big super super soft sugar cookies with this caramel stuff they have spread in the middle and then the edges are rolled in coconut..... gosh they are to die for... those and picarones are our favs here for sure!! i am sending a pic of picarones though, they are similar to a doughnut. 
also a random fact, i have started to write in all caps on everything, just like dad and my handwriting is soooo much better! it reminds me of dad so that is nice.
ok, i have to say right now if you have your patriarchal blessing you all should read and ponder it every single day, along with your scriptures! i have been turning to it every morning for guidance!! i have received so much personal revelation through it, it's crazy! these are words directly from our savior and our father in heaven! we need to study it often! it will bless you beyond belief!! I am serious!! i testify that those blessing are meant to help us, if we use them to the best of our ability, apply them and act.
Alright STORY TIME!!
1. lunch with the stake presidency!!
we had lunch at this old cheese factory out in the middle of no where and ate chicken and potatoes, we explored back in these old broken down houses and cellars!! it was sweet!! there are pictures of our adventures. 
2. MY First break down! haha it was crazy! we went to a lesson and i couldn't understand one word that was said!!! i was prompted to share a scripture, but right when i opened the scriptures i felt the thought, " you are stupid, you cant do this, you dont even know what it means!" but i shared it any way, i instantly knew it was satan and i fought through it. when we left i broke down in tears in frustration with the language and the feeling came over me saying, "you are just being humbled tanner." that right there was the spirit of the lord, Jesus Christ. i know i am being humbled and with that i was instantly comforted. i cried but couldnt stop laughing and smiling! haha my comp was with me the whole way so that helped so much! i am great now!:)
3. english class!! gosh, i taught english class this week and holy cow it was amazing!! i loved it soooo much!! I loved helping these people that really really wanted to learn! i dont know why but, i soooo totally loved it with all my heart and cant wait until this week!!
4. we slept at the zone leaders house, had a bon fire on saturday, talked about conference and stuff, it was a blast, i loved it sooo much!!
5. GETTING ROBBED:
it all changed with a turn of a key, a key to our privacy, a key to our lives, once i turned that key, we realized the unthinkable, we were robbed... we slowly noticed the things gone, dvd player, ipod, speakers, glasses, chargers, usb's and boyds tera bytes...... we flipped!! we were not happy at all and more than anything shocked!! we decided go and get the zone leaders, but right before we left i was prompted that we needed to say a prayer, we got on our knees and i couldn't talk, as tears rolled down my face, words that were not mine flowed through my mouth. the spirit was speaking words of tremendous comfort through me and we were over come with the spirit and comfort. as i finished, the thought came to us that we will be ok no matter what, they are worldy things and we are safe. then we got the zone leaders and they talked to the owner of the place. he said he knew who took it, he left and came back and all the sudden this little kid came to the corner of our door with tears in his eyes, terrified of the big white guys and the knowledge that what he did was wrong. he quietly said, "diculpame" (Forgive me) and i couldnt think of anything to say but, "hey buddy how's it goin?!" in spanish. he didn't say anything but put forth the bag of all our stuff, i said thank you with the biggest smile i could muster up..... i shook his hand and chipman (zone leader) took over from there! i have felt the love of my savior through this experince so much. I have come to love forgiving and showing kindness with christ like love, even when it is hardest!! i am eternally grateful for that experience and that little prayer that i was prompted to offer!!
Well sorry i didn't have time to email much, I'm off to Ilo for the day. We are playing in soccer game and singing in a choir for our P-day, it should be fun.
i love you all!!
