!

Well first of all I just wanted to write you guys and not have to make it all formal and share some mission experiences so if you guys want to send it out to family or anyone that really wants to hear from me...go for it. but I'd like to keep it for you guys. And I also wanted to share with you guys some of the amazing success I've been able to find out here and I just want you guys to see it as Alma chapter 26 type of bragging haha. This past week has been absolutely fantastic and its such a bummer that I only have so few minutes to write you guys about it, but once I get to work I forget about all my homesickness and the stuff I miss. Well on transfer weekends...the way it's supposed to go is that you get a call on saturday night if you are getting transfered. Elder Lee said that some have even carried over to Sunday morning, but that's about the farthest. But this past Tuesday, the day of Transfer meeting, our ever so dilligent A.P.s called Elder Lee and forgot to tell him that he's being transfered, so we spent that whole day just packing for him. But the funny part is that I'm being backup trained by Elder Henze who was trained by Elder Lee, and he was also backup trained by Elder Viuroetta who was trained by Elder Lee as well. We all are wondering what is going through President Durrant's head because this is the first time anything like this has happened but no matter. Me and Elder Henze have been clicking so well since day 1! And another thing is that my Spanish has been amazing! For coming up on four months, every Mexican, even the ones we don't know and just randomly contact, always compliment me on my Spanish! 

Elder Henze has 6 months out here but Elder Lee told me that my Spanish was better than his, and I didn't believe it until we started teaching, and then it got to the point where I have to take over most of our lessons and clear up confusion. but it is so awesome because I love being able to get more opportunities to step up and learn more and more and become more fluent in Spanish! I seriously wish you guys could've seen my spanish from day one to where it is now and you would know for sure that the gift of tongues is seriously real! The great part about it is that we can effectively teach and make mistakes here and there, which leads the Hispancs to have respect that we try to learn their language and it always gives us a sense of humility when they correct us and help us learn the language more. This past week I have just loved it out here so much and have grown so tremendously, and this past week, I felt on the spur of the moment that I should set the baptismal dates for the Dirk Nowitski family. They all accepted and were so awesome about it!!! They actually came to church yesterday (which...someone please tell the music lady to never ever choose Hymn 240 where it talks about how humans without agency are like pure animals and beasts.) It was really crazy because the talks were super deep about living worthy to hold the preisthood and not exercising unrighteous dominion...so I was dying the whole time because when members get opportunities to speak they always take it way too far. But after I had set the baptismal dates with Karl, (and yeah...that is quite ironic that's his name) but I started thinking about how we could just baptize him and give him the opportunity to baptize his kids. When I thought about that, my mind just shifted and I thought about how what I was thinking wouldn't give us more numbers (which is what so many missionaries are out here to do...baptize millions), but truly bring this family that much closer to Christ, and helping us more fully complete our purpose. Then I was realizing why I was enjoying what I did so much and was receiving so many blessings this week. The past month was pretty rough and had very little success and every single family, even Angel's, dropped us. But we kept going trying to be as obedient as we could, and now we have seen such success this week where almost a fourth of all the homes we tract let us come in and teach! It is so amazing and we've even had a couple of people that come up to us and ask us to teach them! I really love it here in this area, and it's been pretty wierd this past while because one of my best freinds went home this last week...so a lot of the conversation was about home. (My favorite part was when E' Nestman had a role play with E' Lee on how he was going to loose this girl who he tried to write off, but her Dad ended up writing him back and told him to write her and she's been waiting for him since haha....I was crying the whole time it was hilarious.) It's weird thinking about how everyone changes so much on their mission and how they come back so different. I'm not going to lie that definitely scared me because sure there's some things I could change...maybe I could get up a little earlier and spend less money on frivilous things, but I really want to come back with a stronger testimony and these awesome experiences, but kind of doing what I did before. It's wierd to think about, but this past week and how well me and Elder Henze have been meshing has been such a blessing to get me back in the work! I seriously wish I could send you guys videos of just some of the things that we've done that I look back and think, "we were totally led by the spirit to do that" or where we just made someones day better and we're doing everything that you would expect of a missionary, and loving it!

This past week I met Benjamin Franklin...okay it wan't him but he looked exactly like him, so we really wanted to take a picture with him haha. So we stopped him and ended up talking to him for a while. He was probably the nicest person I have ever met out in the field and It was such a blessing to be able to share how grateful we were to have the gospel in our lives. He was apart of another faith, but respected what we did so much and asked us to leave him with a prayer. He asked if I would offer it and we did one of those prayer circles where, we hold hands, and I don't remember what I said, but he ended up crying at the end of the prayer and asked us for the pass along card with the picture of Jesus on it and said he would always cherish it with tears running down his face. We were also teaching a 19 year old Spanish girl who was very religiously curious, and while I was talking, she stopped me and said something. I thought she didn't understand what I was saying so I worded my question differently and she answered it and we just kept going, After the lesson Elder Lee told me that she said that whenever I talk she just feels really good inside. Well I've had so many awesome experiences that I love sharing with you guys but I have to go now and love and miss you all so much!

Love,

Last Week Of The First Transfer!!!

Hey howdy hey!!! I cannot believe it but in this upcoming week I will be moving on to my second transfer! It is super crazy that this one is almost over and it's definately a bummer because some of my best friends in this District are going to be leaving in this next week but I guess that's how the mission goes. First off I want to say way to go Mom with all of the work that you have put into Youth Conference and I know that everyone appreciates it! This one kid in our Ward was asking me about the Youth Dances and Conferences and stuff and I told him about all the great experiences I had back in the day haha. I can't promise him that his activities will be as cool as ours but at least he's going now! So I know that the Youth will appreciate all that you do to make this an awesome experience! Well this past week we set two baptismal dates! Jacob and Robert are set to be baptized the 7 of July, and they are super ready to go...but the only problem is that they live with their Mom on the Weekdays and some weekends and on some Sundays their Dad picks them up to take them to Arlington...so we're praying for a miracle to get them to church, but other than that they're set to go. This week at our ward I also got to meet this guy straight from Mexico who's name is Jacob and is a total Mexican Cowboy! It is so awesome talking with him about vaquero stuff haha and our collection of boots, horses, and all that jazz. This past week we also got to play some Latino teenagers in basketball with Lessons on the line. If we won, we had the upper hand and got the opportunity to share a message. So even though we wore white shirts, ties, and the name tags, we pretty much slaughtered that game! All I have to say is that the Holy Ghost not only knows how to guide you in life, but also how to pick-and-roll up the baseline haha. We also had a fantastic lesson with our main man Jose who in the end asked us the question "Why are poeple not coming to this church by the thousands?!?" Man it's awesome being out here!!! One other thing that I wanted to talk about today is missionary with our friends, and I don't know if I've mentioned it in the past few e-mails, but tracting is an activity that I have come to find yeilds so little success, probably the least out of any other aspect of searching for investigators. But, like anytime in pretty much every missionaries day, we were out knocking doors and ran into this 18 year old kid named Angel. As we started talking to him about the church, he told us that he had a really close friend that was Mormon and ended up moving to Utah last year. We thought, "awesome! He already has some background on our church." But then he went on to tell us that his friend had given him a Book of Mormon in both Spanish and English and that he had been reading out of them! So we set up a time where we could teach his family, and had an amazing lesson! It's super rare for this to happen, but we were able to totally blow through the whole first lesson ending with an interested family and Angel telling us that he knew that through the power of God, Joseph Smith translated this record. Elder Lee and I were totally blown away at how prepared Angel is and know that the credit is due to his friend, whoever it is, for sharing his testimony and what he valued the most with the people that he valued most. We have an appointment with them this upcoming Tuesday and are super excited to see where it will go from here, but I wanted to invite everyone to help lay the foundation with thier friends. Again, it's something that I'm kicking myself for not doing more often, but I remember hearing a quote early on in my mission saying "Any action on the Lord's errand, is no wasted action." Any step that we take to invite others to the truth will have eternal consequences and will stick with them until they have the opportunity to accept the fullness of the gospel. Well I love and miss you all but I can't wait to share more and more of what it's like to serve the Lord in Dallas Texas! Big shout out to Dad for a Happy Father's Day!!! Love you!

This is me explaining the miracle of repentance and forgiveness to the Gorilla from "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," he was weighed down with guilt for the attempted takeover of San Fransisco which cost the lives of many good Northern Californians.

Lightning Storms!!!!

Man e-mail up here is so lame because we have to go to the Library to do it and they only gave me 20 minutes today but I'll try and tell you guys as fast as I can about all the good stuff out here! First off, this last week has been amazing with all the lightning and thunder!!! Last monday night, it was seriously like a movie. We were about to fall asleep and then a flash went off outside our window. So we thought it was maybe someone taking a picture or something and just shook it off. Then it happened again a couple minutes later, but we were too tired to care...so we shook it off again. Then it happened a minute later and we decided to open the blinds and just wait to see what was going on. Then it started to rain and we finally noticed all the lightning! It was one of the most amazing things I've seen in my life. It seriously got to the point where there would be lightning flashes within 5 seconds of each other...and just like in movies...we would hear the rain pattering while the window would light up every  couple of seconds and we would hear the thunder boom off in the distance. It was amazing to fall asleep to and the constant lightning lasted throughout the night so we ended up falling asleep to it. I remember waking up and lightning was still going off, but I went throughout my normal schedule, and after being captivated by all the lightning the night before, I was a little more tired than usual. When it came to personal study time...I just couldn't stop myself and ended up falling asleep (which, Mom, I promise that doesn't happen a lot.) Then, the loudest thunder I had ever heard in my life shook our whole apartment and totally woke me up! I took it as a sign and was a little bit more diligent about my personal study haha. 

Man it is super crazy how much I have learned this week and wish I had enough time to tell you all of it! We have had a pretty crazy week with some serious testimony throwdowns and have been teaching some pretty lost people. One guy that we've been seeing often is a man whose girlfriend broke up with him about 7 months ago and he just can't get over it, and when I say that, I mean he never leaves his house and just pouts all day...for the past 7 months. So everytime we see him, it turns into him explaining to us how sad his life is and we teach him or try to get him amped to set goals or something, but then he talks about his church "Jesucristo Es Mi Refugio" which is the biggest testament to how gullible Latinos are. They just don't understand how this church is literally robbing them with a neon sign that advertises "Salvation and Miracles all day every day" with an Inc. symbol attached to it. He even told us that they have a prophet there because he was able to name some people in the crowd...and that was his miracle. We keep asking him how this church has helped him change his life and he always draws a blank, and after so many visits with him and teaching him about how our messages will change his life for the better, we decided that we needed to take a more bold approach to get him to really understand how pitiful he is making his life. We just testified about how this is the only true church that follows the teachings and doctrine of Christ, and as we were going on about it...we saw it just pierce his very core. He all of the sudden just said "I have to go!" (Which he never leaves his house.) So he had us leave...but it was a testament that every knee will bow and every tounge confess that Jesus is the Christ and that this is his church. 

Well I love and miss you all and can't wait to tell you more next week!!

Holidays on the Mission Are Amazing!!!

Yup as I said...Holidays on the mission are amazing! Especially in Texas because Holidays=lots and lots of beer which=understanding how people feel about us right off the bat. Even on a normal day we run into so many drunk people that feel terrible and are ready to be brought to repentance, and then there's the people that just yell "Don't you haunt my door again!!!" But we're also in Texas so just naturally they say "Y'all come back now y'hear" - classic. So we're looking forward to a tracting *blitz*tonight, if we're lucky we might even get some extended family all together!!! 
Well, as for this week, we were actually having some success with a couple Book of Mormon throwdown lessons, and we got 7 new investigators!!! I think all the time on the bikes is finally starting to pay off! But as normal, we are still in the Ghettos of the Ghettos in Oak Cliff South, and something that I've been trying to get a photo album of is the car trend down here. Currently, its a classic Lincoln, Ford Crown Vic, or Mercury that has size 26-28 rims on it...and if I had a nickel for every one I've seen down here, I would probably be up to $5 now haha. They are everywhere! And the other day there was a whole car gang that drove through town with probably 20 cars in their fleet just traveling together not even caring for traffic lights or anything else that would stand in their way. The lead car even had a fat copy of the Executive Seal sticker on his hood haha keeping things interesting around here. We were also knocking doors in a...questionable....area the other day and found this house with the worst set up security system of 6 cameras surrounding the house along with a few motion sensors here and there...yeah they didn't answer haha. We also voted the apostate church for the week was called "The Lord's Gym." It was a legit gym that had a picture of Jesus without a shirt and showed him flexing while carrying the cross...yup...that's Texas! 

As for the update on my Investigators...I would just like to add my testimony to that of every otherMissionary's that Sunday is by far the worst day on the mission! You're always waiting for your investigators who COMMITTED to coming, but never show up and just break your heart. And if they show up you just get even more nervous and just hope that a member doesn't start spewing false doctrine at the pulpit or say something really strange. And you can only pray that your investigators don't see when the kids start taking off their clothes in the middle of the Sacrament and just run around screaming....so it's a pretty nerve racking day haha. But the Pinon family is coming along great...if they would just come to church and we almost have the two sons of this mom that was baptized five weeks ago. Her kids, (and keep in mind these kids hang tight to the whole skater stereotype), actually brought their copy of the Book of Mormon to school and started reading it there! The last time we talked to them, Robert started asking us all the questions that his friends were giving him trouble about and seriously asked if we were Christian. We pulled out some scriptures so he could put his friends in their places...I doubt his friends even crack open the Bible. But the problem with those two is that their parents are divorced and they go with their Dad on the weekends and can't make it to church...so in the end we can only pray for a miracle to happen. 

Another thing that was pointed out to me yesterday at church was that I'm the only Blonde in our ward...or in the stake...probably even the first to ever enter the building haha. It's nice to be the diverse person of the group for once in my lifetime! And as for the chiggers...my body has apparently become prey for...bigger game. For those of you who don't know...I hate spiders with all of my soul. Not because I'm covered in spider bites...but we ran into a tarantula the other day. I thought it would be cool to take a picture, so as a cautiously approach it...and this spider that's about the size of my fist, pretty much gives out a battle cry...and straight on charges me! That is the one moment in my life where I could've outran anyone. So from a safe distance, I zoomed in and got a picture, and every time I look at it, the two big glowing eyes are staring me down....ahhhhhh man it gives me the chills!!!! Well its time to go preach the Word of Wisdom and bring the state of Texas to repentance for all the drinking that's going to happen today! Happy Memorial Day!!!

Week Two On The Battlefront!

Well its been two weeks out here and I feel like a fat kid in a buffet! It is so awesome to finally be out in the field and doing what I've been looking forward to for so long! I've learned in my 14 days that it is by no stretch of the imagination even close too easy and two years still feels like a long time, but I'm loving what I'm doing. First I would like to say thank you so much for the package Mom!!

And Dad, when you told me that the Celtics and the Heat were already knocked out of the playoffs, it was another confirmation that I was doing the right thing haha. Man, in the MTC there was normally one cool thing that would happen in a week, but I have so many fun experiences every day here I don't know which one to choose. Well I figured I would give you a taste of my area and tell you guys a little bit about South Dallas. Like I said before, this area is just infested with apostate churches. (And by the way "apostacy" is probably the most used word in this area. It is applied to missionaries singing apostate music [or music of the world] or talking about apostate movies [movies that normal people would see] and to any other faith that really tries to have a throwdown with us.) Some of the most famous Churches here and ones that you may recognize are the I.B.O.C. church and the Potter's House. These are both Mega-Churches whose building's, parking lot's, and attendance put the Staples Center to shame. It's so crazy to see just how misguided these people are but that's our job out here is to put them on the right path! In the song, "I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go", it says "It may not be at the battle front", but the TDM mission is starting to petition that they should change the line to "It may not be at Dallas." So many people want to fight our religion and bring such contention into our conversations, so we have to cut it short, and just love them for trying (in their eyes) to come closer to Christ. Some places I feel like a King (when people feed us or we go to church!), and some places I feel like the Plague (when we knock on doors and hear the kids or even the parents say "it's the two guys in the white shirts and ties! Go hide!"), and other places people think I'm just looking for a doctrine throwdown. As difficult as our area is (which is VERY) we did start teaching a young Catholic family this last Monday. We had dropped by about four times before trying to set up an appointment and it has always been chaos. In the small apartment they live in, thier two year old son and five year old daughter are always going crazy, the parents are always busy cooking, talking with friends, or doing something else, and evey time we see them, they've been watching Novella's on T.V. Well this past Monday we were finally able to get an appointment with them, and it was like a dream come true. When we knocked on their door, the Husband answered and told us to come in. The whole family was sitting on one couch and everything was quiet and calm. The wife then told the husband to turn the Novella off, and the kids were just sitting there, patiently listening. My first week here, every scheduled appointment we had fell through, but this lesson made it all worth it! It was amazing how different the environment was when we came in! I felt like I was walking in during the middle of the Sacrament! They were my first new investigators and we have really been able to get thier attention with capitalizing on the blessings and promises we have as families. Can't wait to tell you guys how they're doing next E-mail and hopefully we'll be able to get them (Marco & Elizabeth Pinon) to come to church! This week we've started doing more and more biking, and Dad, I remember you saying I'd regret wanting to stay out of the cold, but I think that the Lord just may have misinterpreted that saying haha. "The tropics aren't cold" is what I was thinking of, but He definately sent me somewhere "not cold" haha. I was dying with the heat and humidity the other day and asked Elder Lee how much hotter it was going to get. He just started laughing, pointed to a sign that said it was only 89 degrees, and said it should raise another 30 somewhere in the summer. Well on the bright side...looks like I'll be getting plenty of Vitamin D! Another bonus to my area is that in all of my tracting down in "the ghettos", I got to talk to Shaq, lil' Bow Wow, Ray Allen, Rasheed Wallace, Damien Marley, Lil' Wayne, and Chris Paul. With only two weeks under my belt, I think that by the end of my mission I will have met the look alikes for the rest of the NBA, and every famous rapper that's existed haha. Oh yeah and my new adress (this is coming from my memory so please correct me if I'm wrong Mom) 

Elder Justin Wilson

6363 W Camp Wisdom Ave Apt 215

Dallas, TX

(Forgot Zip Code) :/

But if you would like, you can also adress it to "The Only White Person That Lives In This Apartment Complex" or "The Only White Person That Lives In Oak Cliff Dallas" and it should make its way to me haha. One last thing is that on my second week here, I've already been chiggered. For those who don't know what this means, chiggers are little Red arachnid bugs that are about the size of the "O" on the "In God We Trust" slogan on the Dime. They bite their way into your skin and just live there. So my body is now a home for way too many of these bugs and they itch me to death haha but apparently the solution is rubbing nailpolish remover on them and the fumes will supposedly kill them. My desire to avoid bugs has already failed and as Elder Lee told me, it's just a part of Texas. Well I love it out here and can feel the help of all your prayers! Thank you guys so much! I miss and love you all!!!

Con todos mi Corazon,

The Party Starts In Dallas!!!

Hola Hola Hola!!!

     What is up everyone!?! So I survived my first week in Dallas!! Sorry I'm having to e-mail you from my yahoo account but myldsmail wouldn't let me sign in so I had to find some way to get hold of you guys! And I also just wanted to say it was so awesome to be able to call you guys yesterday and again Happy Mother's Day!!! Man it was so sweet to be able to talk to everyone and made me miss you guys so much!!! But don't worry I'll get right over it and get back to work! So about my first day here...I just remember walking down the terminal thinking "this is it!" and how I was taking the walk I had seen in so much Mormon media haha. When we finally landed in Dallas I remember walking out of the plane and feeling the humidity just hit me. I'm used to the Canyon Country and Provo dry heat where its like 105 outside...but in Texas the heat just comes inside you! It was really cool flying over Dallas and I just remember thinking "the field is white already to harvest!!!" After my first day of getting to know President Durant, we went tracting with some Missionaries in the area and I will never forget Elder Rodriguez and the look on his face when he would turn the lesson time over to me. We were able to run into a family that said we could teach them...well I actually have no idea if that's what they said but they let us come in and teach haha. It turned into a conversation with Elder Rodriguez and the investigators. My role was to look back and forth at each of them as they exchanged words. Then Elder Rodriguez would look at me with a smirk on his face, and I would try my best to take it from there haha. I would gather words here and there, and once I knew that I understood what that word meant they would aready be like a whole paragraph ahead of me. If you were to take MTC Spanish and take it to light-speed...you would hear what is now reffered to as in-field Spanish. The next day we were assigned our companions and areas. So I got to know my comp., Elder Lee (who is not Asian to my suprise) and he's got to be one of the best Bible bashers I know haha. He knows the Bible inside out, which comes in handy for all the Baptists and Lutherans and Evangelists, and Jehova's Witnesses...I could go on and on about all the religions we've encountered. Another thing about Dallas that I heard about but I had to see to know was how many churches there are here! It is absolutely crazy! A good safe estimate is probably about 5 every block. But this past week has been full of tracting, lightning storms, flash floods, Mexican food (finally!), slammed doors, crazy Baptists, marching with a Book of Mormon in our hands, confused Spanish converstations, so everything part of the missionary stereotype. Well I gotta go but I love you and miss you all so much!

Les Quiero Mucho! 

Elder Justin finally in Dallas Wilson!!

Mi Ultima Semana En El CCM

"Hasta Ver! Hasta Ver! Para siempre Dios este con..." In case you are wondering, these are the sounds we will be hearing three days from now! It's so crazy haha I feel like it was just yesterday that we sent off the oldest District singing "God Be With You 'Till We Meet Again" en Espanol! Nine weeks later and it is our turn! By the way...before I start with my updates and such I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Carlie & Porter!! Man I'm proud of you guys but especially Porter. For as long as I've known Carlie she's always had everything figured out and for you to be worthy enough to marry up to her...you must've worked pretty hard on your mish in L.A.!!! So I just hope that I can work as hard as you did and Carlie...still cannot believe that you are married but I love you and congrats!!! 

Well this week has been pretty nerve racking for me as my last week in the MTC! My brain feels like a suitcase that you just keep putting more and more and more stuff into and once you try to zip it up...you realize you've put in a little more than it can handle. No matter how hard I work and study I can't help but be scared out of my mind that I will be in the field teaching REAL progressive investigators by this next Monday!!! I'm way stoked to leave the MTC and will miss all the friends and teachers that I've had here but am so stoked to do some real missionary work and see just how good my Spanish is. I feel pretty comfortable here with a bunch of white people but I'm so scared that once I get out to Tejas I'll forget everything and only be able to muster out a "Hola...estoy bien...." Oh boy its making me want to cry right now haha so I can't wait to get the first few days of humiliation over and then buckle down for some success! 

Speaking of success we had a "Baptism" last week for "Angelica." Even though she was a "role played" investigator, I can see that we learned so much and our teaching really changed ever since we started. For all the prospective missionaries out there, I would just have to tell them to really love the investigator. So many return missonaries had told me that so I would pray for them every now and then and prepare for my lessons so that they would enjoy that, but there is a sincere difference between caring about them and just giving your heart to them. At the beginning we saw the "Preach My Gospel" lessons as a checklist, and to me, the faster we checked all the boxes, the faster the baptisms will come. I just feel like when we all start our missions, we have been caring about ourselves for too long and can't see our investigators perspective, what they understand, and be able to discern thier feelings. When we had "Coaching Missionary Study", I remember Hermana Cooper asking me, "I know you care how your lessons go, but do you really love Angelica..." She totally caught me off guard, and when I thought about it, I didn't have feelings even close to the feelings I should have had. I cared about how the lessons would make me look instead of her growth Spiritually. Once I started praying for her every day, putting her name on the Temple Prayer list, really started asking her questions about her life and not just what she thought about our church, if she followed up on our committments and so forth, the change in our teaching was so tangible. You could literally feel a change in the room and see that the relationship we had before had completely transformed. When we stopped caring about whether she would say yes or no to the baptismal questions, that was when she really grew and eventually accepted our Baptism Invitation. So last week we made a card and the whole works for our "Baptism" haha it was awesome. I'm just so glad that I learned this lesson before I hit the field and would have to say it's even more important than any Spanish I have picked up in these last 9 weeks. Still having kind of a tough time adjusting to the whole missionary schedule and trying to forget the fact that my Lakers are in the playoffs about now and that I have to kick myself out of bed at 6:30 every day, but it's a work in progress. 

Super super super excited to meet President Durant and my new companion and literally get my mission started! I'm also way stoked to ride in one of those giant metal things that have wheels and go really fast! I've forgotten what they're called but I know that I haven't been in one for two months and think it is probably the longest time in my life I have lived without one. I'm also stoked out of my mind for the Texan food!!! The MTC has asked us to not include any "negative" comments specifically about the MTC in our e-mails home, but the scriptures say that liars are "thrust down to hell" so I will just say that I only eat the food they serve here to keep myself alive. I have lost my appetite here at about week two when everything started to taste the same so I am stoked to get my TEXICAN going! Burritos, Tacos, Carne Asada, and STEAK!!! Well again, way stoked but wayyyyy nervous for Dallas and I know for a fact, that I will have some good "greenie" stories for next week. The thought of being in the field for my first few days makes me feel like there will be a huge target painted on my chest but I guess we will have to see how it goes! 

 

Con todos mi corazon y amor,
