When President loves you so much he doesn't want you to drive away.

We were driving home from a lesson. I see these yellow, pinkish, and green tinted reflections of light so vibrant in the dark night sky. And I'm like "what are those lines...?" After a brief pause and a gasp, Sister Williams and I both emphatically cry out in unison: "THE NORTHERN LIGHTS!!!!!" So yeah. I can check that off the bucket list. (You can only see the northern lights under certain weather conditions like 10 times a year at best here).

So there's like a million Filipino people that live here, and so we had a Filipino Cultural Night for a ward party. There was dancing and music and all types of party things.

But the food. That is unlike anything I have experienced.

They bring out an entire pig. Many people wanted me to have the pleasure of eating the ear. I ate the pig's ear. It tasted like burned chips.

The pig. PS a member gave us those flowers to put in our hair hahahaha

Everything is going good!! Cara is getting baptized this week!

​​ Cara's son Mikey. He never is wearing a shirt when we are there, so we took a picture on this momentous occasion.

We had zone conference this week and so we learned a ton! :) Aside from all the weird and strange and funny things that happen as a missionary, I learn so much about my Savior! Am I blessed or what!?
