Hillary, Todd, and some little girls

I got 2 letters in the mail this week from my favorite little Riley! He's on a Spanish-speaking mission in Texas and these are some of the funny things he says to me.

"A kid who was investigating with a fellow missionary when praying at the end of the lesson said, 'Dear Josef Smif, is da book of Ja Normans twue (tawoo)?'"

"This hispanic guy said to elder Rodriguiez 'Que Dios le benediga, foo!' (God bless you, foo)"

"We had this guy we were teaching who didn't learn our names, but when at church he said he was studying with el guero y el otro gero chaparrito (the white guy and the other short white guy)."

Sometimes Todd just talks to make noise, but sometimes it turns out so cute.
"Hillary, I am the way that I am...because I was born in love with you. So...we can have babies and live forever and go to Never Never Land. Togetherland."

Cheetos* and pizza* and white chocolate* are my favorite foods.














*foods that make me feel sick after i eat them

"He has his brestplate on. a brestplate is for war, he is ready for war."
"...they are rulers, so they do want to be seemed as great."
"[I liked] Sophia. Because of how well she is represented and the desire to make it a work that stand out and represents her." (talking about the Byzantine church, Hagia Sophia. Hagia Sophia means "Holy Wisdom" and is not even a little bit like a person)
"The Greeks no longer had the yearning to show their abilities to rationalized."

"His hair is wild and supposed to look like a main"

"heroicness"
"presense"
"He stretchies out his hand..."
"He is seen waving lleading the people iw his hand" (these tests are hand-written. not typed.)
"drappery"
"starring off"
"The drapery is textualized"
"The look on afterlife at this time was exciting."
"A man and women are laying down with one another." (womAn. Just one.)
"deiry"...or "cleiry" (either way i can't tell what it means.)
"deemons"
"singlely"
"Domanice" (domanice? you mean dominance. you're dumb.)
nearly every student uses "there" when they mean "their" (go back to 3rd grade)
"They more so seek for comfort."
"solice"
"exitement"
"They had weapons for protection and vases with wine for fun."
"worcs"

"The earth had a positive vision of the afterlife." (the earth did? or everyone on the earth did? either way...wrong.)

Someone said the "Collosium" is in Greece. If there is one piece of architecture anyone knows it is that the Colosseum is in Rome! RIGHT?!?!?! Hasn't anyone seen Lizzy McGuire? Or Olsen Twin movies? Or Carmen San Diego? The Bourne Identity? Postcards? Photographs? Parents who teach things?

So I went to donate blood today and this lovely silly guy named Jonathan did my physical, drew my blood, etc.
Jonathan said, "This is a difficult question...what is your gender?"
I looked at him for at least 7 seconds, then laughed and said, "Female..."
I told him that that is probably an offensive question for people who look ambiguous. He said some people do get offended and won't answer him, but will say, "What do you think I am?" to which he simply replies, "It doesn't matter what I think, I need to hear you say it."
Aaaannyway, I have changed my last name since the last time I donated blood and I told Jonathan it was due to a sex change.
Also, did you know that you can legally change your date of birth? Neat, huh? I would do it if I were born on leap year/day.
I took cookies and a peanut butter chocolate bar. Best blood donation snack of my life.
