4/11/18 - Emma Letter to Family

I only have 45 min to email so I took pictures of your emails so I could read them later and I realized I left some questions unanswered. I fhtat happens please ask again! Thank you for the sweet notes in my suitcase! I hung them up in my room and they really help me! People here have trouble pronouncing R so Ive been called Sis BAlloon, sis BArhow and sis barlohohoh. 

Sis Bybee and I have become Bffs with Sis Letner and Sis Sansores. We makje NAcho Libre jokes all the time becasue allç the native elders call us Seesters. A few nights ago they left a piece of toast and a note outside our door asking us to join them in their quarters. 

Mom- Im glad ytou talked with grandma! it makes me happy knowing youre happy! All the picturesI sent with flowers were in honor of you. Theres a garden in the middle of the CTM and itsx my favorite place to study. 

Dad- Missionary month has helped a lot but I dont have time to write about it. I will mail you a letter soon. Also, part of my fast was for your success at work.

Eve- I want election updates, please send me MR Morriss email. Also, please only post the pics I look good it. I miss your cello

Hyrum - I miss your hugs! You want a soccer jersy? everyone wears nu,ber 10 here

MAri - im gald you liked the ipod. I hope you had a wonderful birthday! I love and miss you!

I bought a scripture case with the brazil flag on it from a peruvian lady who sells them outisde the CTM its my favcorite thing. An elder sitting in from of me streched and his pen drew on my expensive silver shoes. It wont come out. Whenever I see that Ill remember to forgive quickly and be more christlike. 

We sang peace in Christ in all of our native languages in chior and it was amazing see if you can find teh Ctm FB page or find Elder or Sister Whitker. I think they posted a video. If not try Sis Bybees mom.

I WANT TO HEAR ALL ABOUT SANDIEGO!

Im having issues focuising and Im still a little homesick. Im trying my best but Im frusterated becasue I feel like I cant fufill my purpose as a missionary 100% if I dont know the language. ITs hard. Our district had a meltdown and Irmao Siquiera gave us good advice. Im working so hard and Im praying for increased faith and focus. Theres so much I want to write about but I have no time! I miss you advice! Please send counsel!

I love you all SOOOOO much!
