Noteworthy things:
Ingrid is going to Brazil, right? My roommate from my last semester at BYU-I, Katie, served her mission in Brazil. You can probably find her on my facebook. I don't remember her new last name, but she's a really cute red head! I was thinking Ingrid might want to talk to someone who had been there recently, and a sister. It's an option! I'm sure Katie would love to talk to Ingrid about it. :)
A really, really, nice member gave me a bottle of chipotle tabasco after I told him how sad I was about forgeting my last bottle of hot sauce in KL! God loves me!
One of the miracles this week happened as Sister Anderson and I were on the train on our way to a member's house for lunch when we met two 19 yr old America boys here for a few days with the Navy. As we talked to them they told us how homesick they had been and how much they missed home cooked meals. Suddenly, I got a prompting to invite them to lunch at our member's house.... and then immediately invited them! Only after the invitation had left my mouth did I realize how crazy it was, but I knew it was a prompting! They accepted, our members said it was okay, and I had the most stressful lunch of my life trying to make sure everyone felt comfortable. Afterwards, we shared a spiritual thought about the plan of salvation. What's amazing though is that one of the boys had been baptized but hadn't been part of the church in a long time, and the other had grown up in Utah and Idaho as a cowboy and had so many Mormon friends he basically was one. Over all, it was a great missionary experience that I hope the family doesn't hate us for, and I know those boys will remember.

Love you lots! I'm thinking maybe we could Skype my Saturday at about noon, but I don't know if everyone will be there by then with school and all. Let me know next week and I'll start asking members if we can use their house. I love you! Talk to you soon!
P.S. I didn't take any pictures so I tried to take some last night... SOmeone gave us lots of cereal last night! I got a little creative. haha, the picture of the empty study is ours, the other one is the other sisters in the philipino ward.
