Zika in Houston?

We have not been counseled to wear pants but I talked to Hermana Hall about it and she said that we are now allowed to wear maxi skirts. I'm not sure I want to because it is so hot but I will be better about wearing my mosquito repellent because I already have quite a few bites. (Ooops, I just scratched one). I haven't swollen up very badly yet and I'm generally pretty good about not scratching.

I will be better about taking pictures. I'll ask if we can take a district photo on Wednesday when we have district meeting and send it next week.

I absolutely love the pineapple necklace and the Iron Rod necklace. I think it's funny that I've got you looking for jewelry for me. How was Oregon? Funny thing about the Pineapples and psych, my companion is just as in love with them as I am. I'll take a picture the next time I wear them.

Sorry, I should have explained that a little better. Perdon a me. I was talking to the SSTL (Senior Sister Training Leader) and another one of the STLs (Sister Paiz, Hermana Asplund's companion) this week and they said that it would be fine for me to have my flute here in the mission. I am going to make sure with President today when I have an interview with him (nothing to worry about, Hermana Whitmer wanted to meet with him so I decided that I would too) but I am 99% sure that he will say yes. Then, if you could send me one of my flute books that has hymns in it that would be great (maybe have mom make the choice of which one to send me). There is a piano book that I have titled "Hymns", it has a brownish cover and is spiral bound. If you could find that it would be great. I was just thinking that it might be nice to have for prelude music at baptisms or such.


Le amo mucho,

In separate email, in response to news that Sister Heufner had come to Gilbert to see Pres. Nattress:
Huefy!!!! I miss her so much! I hope you all gave her hugs for me.​

In a separate email, responding to questions about the weather in Houston:
I'm handling it ok...it's getting hot but not as hot as where Elder Mitchell's at so I'm grateful. Yes the repellent works but I need to use it more. I don't like the feeling of it on my skin but too bad. I got my second blister yesterday. I've used the rain shoes a few times. I've mostly used my leather shoes in the rain because it comes up really fast and then blows through and I never know when I should wear them.
