Nothing nothing nothing makes me happier here right now than knowing how happy my family is. Thank you so much for keeping me filled in. It fills me with complete joy just knowing that my family is doing okay and that they are together. It is the biggest answer to my prayers!! It doesn't make me homesick it just makes me happy!

The past couple of days have been just scorching hot. But I do consider it a huge blessing that God has given me that I am able to still have just enough energy to carry on. Definitely some physically enabling going on here. I will try my best to remember what I did this week that I can tell you about!

 There is a family who moved into our ward here in Alcala, they were in this ward three years ago and then moved to Germany for military work. And now they have moved back. They have 8 kids! Which is a Super rarity here in Spain. The oldest 17 the youngest 9 months. And they all speak English, Spanish and German! And they are super super strong in the gospel and the mom is just a firecracker. She is already helping out with the mission work. They have invited us over twice already. Felt just like home 😅and we are just super pumped for them to be here. With their family we finally have a primary and a young men's class! Hahahaha. But yes they are awesome!

We finally met with Loe again after not seeing her for 2 weeks. I was stressing and losing hair about that haha.i would cry sad tears when she'd cancel on us and then cry happy tears when we finally got so see her again. That woman puts me on an emotional roller coaster haha. We have to reestablish some commitments with her but we are really gonna work hard with her.

Hermana Garcia and I ARE planning some fun activities to involve members and investigators. We're gonna have a girls night and we are just going to invite every woman in Alcala and eat food and have a message and probs wear face masks or do something girly like that . And then we are going to have a Joven Party which I am stoked for. We have so many menos activos jovens and I just love the jovens and I just wanna have a party with them to por fin get them in the capilla. We'll  see how it goes with the summer heat. Haha nobody really likes to leave pisos when it's blazing outside pero bueno. 

This week I made cookies. I just wanna let all of my friends and family know that Hannah Rust is still good ole Hannah Rust. I put 2 tablespoons of salt and baking soda in instead of 2 teaspoons. Did I still eat them you ask? No. They were gross. Did we still go deliver them to ward members? Yes. They liked them.... probably. I don't know. 

I am gonna look through pictures and see if I can remember anything else i can tell ya about!
