YES!!!!!!! you guys should be couple missionaries and paint your faces like old wrinkled people and make name tags and carry around book of mormons to give out to the boys and girls haahha, and for the treats buy suckers and print tiny fotos of the book of mormon!!!! and hailey and jess should be a "catrinas" look it up its a mexican tradition and they are awesome and i want to be one! me and my companion are going to be elders.

Fear is not of God.  I have changed so much in the mission and when i got to mexico it was no holding back, a blank sheet of paper and the greatest blessing i could have received and so to come home to another blank page as the Makayla i am now is a blessing that i look forward to exploring. Dont worry about the changes moving will bring. I knew we were moving before you guys even went to washington so i have just been waiting for sure to know, also it will be fun taking the same plane all the way home with hermana shupp! her family lives 2 hours away :) 

Im the happiest i have ever been right now in my mission and i dont ever want to loose the peace that has taken place in my heart, i know these things that i teach every day are true i have seen the changes these people have made to follow christ and i have seen the changes Christ has made in my life as well i know its true and it doesnt matter what comes my way because i know he will be there to help me and each and every one of you. Grandma wrote me about joy and how there is nothing comparable to the joy of the gospel and shes right! to be Mormon is freakin AWESOME!!!! 

Dont worry BE HAPPY! I love you guys so much!
Love Kayla

Mom Im pretty sure that our family will be living in Washington when i return....This morning and last night i think i recieved revelation... So last night i had a dream that i was with sebastian and he and i rode our bikes down the street and my bike was one of the cute ones with the basket like i always wanted (hint hint) and we stopped at a park and it was the same park that was in the picture you just sent me... Also i met someone there who i dont know and have never seen before but it was when i was leaving from a school. And then when i woke up i prayed to know what it meant and i let my scriptures fall open and it opened up to photos of when joseph smith and his family moved states and was talking about the maps and adventures of the smith family. And i just had a feeling that our family was going to move, and i told my companion that as well.  I believe this will be a great blessing for our family.

Wow thank you so much for those words of encouragement i honestly sometimes dont feel like im doing to much so its nice to hear that from you and from president. This week has been a little crazy we are changing houses at the end of the month so we have had to prepare contracts and deposits and all sorts of things to change houses. Also i with my companion are in charge of putting together a ward party for the 31st and its a big festival with games and face painting and then theres a movie for the younger kids and a dance for the teenagers and food for everyone and we have been making 180 invitations because we are expecting about 150 people to come so its a big deal and i was put in charge because it was my idea whoops...hahaa no but its really fun because the wards here in mexico dont know how to throw events like they do in the states here its like last minute planning and always turns out boring. So i got the relief society to pass a list for the food to bring, the primary to set up the things for the movie area, the young men and women to set up their dance with decorations and lights, priesthood to do booths of the festival, missionaries as well have booths and iniv}tations to make, and the bishop is in charge of music, camera, and decorations so hopefully all will work out well and will be a hit! 


We also had a miracle happen yesterday.....So we have an investigator that is gay and we were thinking all week how are we going to teach him repentance and everything and babtize him because he is really prepared and so yesterday we were fasting for him to know for sure if he was gay or how we should teach him or if he would progress, and we were walking home and found him outside and he was with a girl and i thought it was his sister until he tells us "this is my girlfriend we have been together for a year now" and i couldnt help  but smile and hug her haha i was so happy! So God answers our prayers sometimes quickly other times it takes a while we just got to be patient! 

I love you guys lots and i hope you have an amazing time in washington this weekend and that everything goes well! If the missionaries are cute why dont you take pictures with them eh? help a girl out would ya? na just teasing! haha So 1 year hooooraaa that was the fastest year of my life! I bought the dress in the picture the other week and for my 1 yeaar mark i thought "maybe ill look cute for once" haha its really comfy! also youknow  how before everyone kept telling me i was fat in this area? well now everyone is telling me i have lost a lot of weight haha why do people think its important to comment about those things who knows? all i know is that God loves me no matter what and that he loves you all too! Have an amazing time and love you guys so much!

What do I want for Christmas??....homemade cookies and swig and sugar cookies that arent from a box!!!! thats all i want!!! no but after christmas i will only have 4 months left and i dont want to bring home to much so if you want to send something small like letters from friends and family and fotos and cookies i would be totally awesome with that.  I wanted to play mario kart the other day i got really bored and started singing the mario theme while walking and my companion was like are you singing mario? and i was like "well ya! i miss video games!" haha if you send a package for christmas send something for my compa please! shes way too cute to leave out of the christmas box! Anyways i got to go work! love you guys lots and talk to you next week!

the pictures are of the bulleten board my companion and i made for the ward we are going american!
also my one yaer mark foto!
and a family home evening we had with our recent convert carolina and the elders and her mom viky!
We are also doing home remedies here because my companion is from panama and her mom is in that work so she showed me a couple things like if you have bad pores then get a lime or lemon and  with the juice of the fruit rub it on your face it hurts for about a minute and then its good but you have to do it at night and keep it on till the morning for the best results. and then there is one with honey and sugar that cleans you face and leaves it so soft like a babies butt its awesome!!! you leave it on for 15 minutes and wash it of gradually. there are also like 3 she has taught me for the hair to make it longer or shiny and soft.. so last night i washed one half of my face and left the other with makeup and my companion did too and this is what we looked like it was funny.

My companion loves to be super quiet in the morning and then talk all night so one night i was pretty much asleep as she was talking and she just kept going on and on and so i took a picture of her and she was like "hey stop taking pics of me!" and so i said then go to bed! and then she did haha. 

the other one is in my pjs and we were buying flowers to give to sad people from a guy who was selling them in the street and so he asked us why and we started talking to him about the gospel and stuff and then he thanked us for our work and gave us these flowers for free and it happened to be my favorite flower! cool huh?
