Release Date: July 3!

... and family and friends are all excited about it... but Danielle doesn't want to talk about it. We're afraid my parents may not be able to get her to come back to the United States. Cross your fingers...

Here is her most recent email :)

We walk a lot. and a lot of people have moved. But we still have a laughing attach EVERYDAY! Sister Thompson is hilarious. And so are the Elders that live a floor above us. There are 4 of them and 4 of us and we're like a big family. Except all the boys are Pinoy and all the girls are Canas or Fijian. It makes for a great jumble of language. Which makes us laugh even harder.

Sister Thompson is amazing, but is going through american withdrawls right now (she is handling really well) Just buy her a Kitkat and she can handle anything. Including eating pig skin, taro, and nose bleeding in Tagalog. She doesn't really nose bleed. It is just a joke among the Pinoys that if you make them speak in english, it is so hard for them that their noes starts to bleed. Nagnonosesbleed sila! She's doing awesome though, and I totally remember being in her shoes.

The ward loves us. They have a dinner calendar and every one of the dinner appointments was very specific that it was just for the Sisters. Needless to say the Elders were a little bummed. And someone made a public announcement that they needed to give the Sisters referrals. The Elders just don't get it! But it makes us smile.

Then we did some more walking.

And then got lost. And walked up and down the same street about 50 times. The city is a little bit different then the Provence, but I love the challenge. This zone is actually really struggling and is the lowest baptizing in the mission, but our area is going to baptize, someday! We just have to find them first!

I think I told you this before, but I am pretty sure Chad is the the 12 week training program. Like I am 100% sure. We were studying, and i was like, hey... I know that kid. He married my sister! Strange.

Mara is as adorable as ever! I love seeing her pictures! I found the picture that Jen and Kevin gave me of her when I left. Oh, man has she changed! Kevin should be very worried about her in about 15 years. I love getting all of your letters. Now that I only live about 3 minutes away from the mission office, I actually get them more often. There are benefits here. :)

Sister Hunt sent me a Palawan bag and real pearls! (Dad you might want to give mom a limit on the pearls she can buy, because they are real, and they are cheap)

We went to Market Market again to day. That place is the size of a small (ok not that small) city. I feel really our of place there, even though there are more Joe's there. But I don't belong to them anymore. They are all a little weird.

I once again have used all my time and English up. But I still can say this...

Mahal kita! (if you type that into google translater it might say love see, but it means I love you!)

Love you more then American things!
Sister Lyons
