Sup my ladies and fellas! yeah I know what your thinking, shoot Sis. Rose is a straight up thug and thats just because I have been taking lessons! So we are working with this Less Active guy Josh he's super legit grew up in east LA or west... whatever one is the hood... anywho so he is in the hospital so we have been going to visit him and he has taught me some pretty thug stuff. For example when he was in Elementary school him and the girl that played Punky Brewster got into a fight. and Punky was like you got your bike and the pick and save. and Josh was like yeah well you got your face at a pick and save. So Thug lesson #1 your face jokes will always win in a fight. 
Anyway this week has been good. I was still sick untill about wednesday so I couldn't go out and work but im practically better now! So Jimmy the 83 yr old guy is doing amazing! With him I can really see how reading the Book Of Mormon is the key. He was reading a chapter a night but his neighbor thats a member was assigning him random chapters. We asked him to start from the start and read at least one chapter a night. well he was in 2 nephi a week later! We were able to talk really openly about baptism and we have never done that before. He really wants it to be true and is praying to get his answer so we are really excited for him. 
Also Renee! She's is just so legit. She is getting baptized on Feb. 2! it will be the first baptism of mine that I actually get to be at! Theres really not much more to say about her because she is just so perfect. She is reading, praying, coming to church is living all the commandments all without hessitation! its so awesome!!! 
Also I finally got my birthday package this week! I was so excited when I opened the first one and saw beef jerky and coconut... thats when I knew that y'all really knew me and loved me I almost started to tear up a bit... but then I opened the second one! and there were pictures and letters and just awesome stuff! Its embarrassing how long I was jumping up and down for actually.... 
Well ya mission life is going great! HAPPY MLK DAY!!!! go do something he would do! heaven knows im playing basketball... hope thats not racist :) 

I dont know if i've sent these pictures before..... 
So one is of the day when I have come closest to perfecting the missionary hair! 
and the other is Sis. Lao she was my companion when we were both sick. We watched Joseph Smith movie about 4 times in 2 days!
