Hey Everybody!
This past week in Riverhead has been awesome! I have come to realize that I am in a complete different
country than Pleasant View,Utah. I love the Spanish people so much!
The Leon's are a less active/recent convert family. They have a 2 year old little girl, and a 6 year old boy
named Jared that is seriously in love with me. (Because of my yellow hair) Last Monday we went to their
house to eat dinner and he was hiding behind the couch taking pictures of me on his Nintendo DS the entire
time. Kind of cute, kind of creepy.

The Spanish people in our area love to feed us. (Yesterday I ate a steak at 9:00 pm because I was forced to
by hermana Leon). But don't worry, I don't think I will get fat because I usually get sick from the food.
It's just part of being white I guess.

They also like to make fun of me.. haha ALL the time. The Leons love to talk about my dating life back at
home and how I better leave my mission 6 months early... And then they all talk really fast in Spanish and
laugh a lot.. and I don't understand anything. It is the best. .

Update on the spiders: Still huge, and still infesting our house.

Daniel is committed to baptism on August 30th! So that's cool.. But he also said he would be at church
yesterday.. and wasn't.. so, I'm not completely confident that it will happen that date. But it is really
awesome because Sister Snow has been here for awhile and hasn't had any baptismal commits/baptisms..
So #1 for Riverhead! :) #hasteningthework

We had to go into the city this past week for a meeting and everyone was buying the $1 hotdogs, I just
couldn't get myself to try one. It was too sketchy and I already am sick from foreign food.

Anyway, I don't have anything really cool to say.. just that I see miracles happen every single day. I just
have to do my part in being obedient, studying, and opening up my mouth. I know that God prepares his
people and I hate the thought of letting someone pass by me on the street, in the store, or from door to
door without giving them the opportunity to access "the good news". Which is the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I love you all and I hope you have a great week!
The church is true, or I wouldn't put up with being spit on by shirtless, fat, white,Polish men.
I LOVE YA!
