Hermana Autumn Twitchell: Nerf Guns

April 6, 2015

Hola Mamacita!

That's so funny, I was just going to email you and tell you to write Hna. Burke for her birthday! Haha we're having a party on Friday and we are going out to eat sushi with all the Sisters in our zone. Sadly it's not Mukuni's, but it's a little far from where we live even though it's in our area.

Well everyone in our zone has a nerf gun, so I caved and bought myself a nerf gun for zone sports :P . Haha It's not the one in the picture, it's Hna. Flores'. I just like the way hers looks. :P

Even though Hna. Burke and I aren't companions, we see each other every day and we eat food with them all the time! We went to her house the other day and the members she lives with have a ton of musical instruments: piano, guitar, violins, ukelele, and a mandolin! They convinced me to take home a violin so now I have a violin to practice with! I discussed it with Sister Schow and we're going to start a band! I'm going to play the violin, Hna. Flores will be on the piano and sing soprano, and Sister Schow will sing alto. It's going to be great!

We watched conference at our stake center and it was great! I loved it! I watched it in English, but when the Spanish speakers spoke, I got a translating headset so I could listen to it in Spanish. It's a lot better when you can hear it in their native language! I loved all the talks, they were so good! A lot of talk about the family, great stuff!

Things are going really well with Hna. Flores, she's been a bit sick this week, so we really haven't worked too much, but I feel like everyone is sick. I'm hoping we'll be able to work more this next week.

Haha I don't even have my bike with me, it's still in Sacramento! So no, I have not had to ride my bike yet :P Eventually Hna. Clark will get it to me when there's a mission leadership meeting or something, but for now I am bikeless. :) Honestly, I don't think it would be very hard to go my whole mission without riding a bike, it's just not very effective in Spanish work.

Picture: I found my own apartment complex off of Auburn Blvd! Yes!
