Las personas que extraño

These are some of the people I miss. I don't have pictures of everyone and I don't know how that happened. But here are some!

Eymi. She is so sweet and so involved with the JAS. She always got me going to dances and parties. She also helped me with my spanish a ton. 

Melanie! She is Eymi's sister. She was being me that night jaja. We went on many outings together and would laugh so much. She always said my weird english words that I would teach her. 

Helaman y Gianella! Helaman was who I lived with. He is like the younger brother I never had. We had so much fun together always. He has seen me at my best and worst. Words cannot express my love for him. 

Gianella Gianella. I love her. She is the sweetest person I have ever met. She is also such a teenager. She had a big crush on Helaman so if I was talking to him too much she would get mad at me and not talk to me. But she always told me "que bonito tu cabello!" Which made me feel good because everyone else wished my hair was longer in Peru, including myself. 

Gabriela! She was my mom for the summer. She made sure I was always OK. She stayed home with me the many times I was sick with a cold or food poisoning. She gave me opportunities to perform with her (as seen above) and aumentar my piano skills. She is always so happy and wants the best for everyone. 

OK I admit, I only knew these girls for a short time, but I had so much fun with them! They are so silly and make me laugh! I wish I had had more time with them =]

Luisa y David. THey are actually students at BYU but were doing a study abroad. It was so nice having friends to talk to in english! They were life savers at church jeje. 

Fiorella y Iris! I actually knew these girls in the MTC!! It was so good seeing familiar faces again in a land so far away. We did not spend nearly enough time together, but it's neat to know that I have life long friends wherever I go

TODOS ESTOS NINOS. This is the first grade class. They gave me so much stress but on the last day they behaved so well. I spent the most time with them out of any of the primaria and I really do miss them. Nicola, the one boy not waving, is one who I miss the most. 

Maria Jose! The four year olds were also very challenging, but I always made sure to sit next to her. She always asked me words in English, which made me feel worth while! 

Luchiii. She is the sweetest. I mean, look at that smile! When all the other five year olds were off task, she was working. Good girl. 

Ah mis 3 añitos! I was in this class the most. Every one of them has my heart. Antonella, Micaela, Maricielo, y Kiera. I just really love them.

ETHAN! He loved me. Therefore I loved him. He was always talking to me and asking me words in english and using his english. 

Luciano. Obviously my favorite because he's wearing a mario shirt. He was one of the students that just wandered around the classroom all day. He always made goofy faces which I know do. 

Mateo Valera. I don't know why, but his name was always followed by his last name. He is going to break a lot of girls' hearts one day. The first day I was there he ran up to me and gave me a big hug and told me he loved me. 

Las 5 años. I was also in their class a lot. Melanie, Delia, Flavia, y Jazmin. Only some of my favorites. 

6th grade. Just a great great class. They were all so nice and friendly with everyone. I could joke around with them and they filled me in on who was dating who and everything. I love that age. 

3 of the teachers of the kinder. Incredible people with incredible patience. 

I don't actually know these children, but that is the point. I loved the kids that would come up and just talk to me. Some just wanted a picture of the blonde girl. Others wanted to just talk to me. I miss that. A lot. 

Silvana! I love this girl with all of my heart. She knows all of my secrets. She taught me spanish songs and I taught her english songs. Not enough can be said about her. So much love. 

Like I said, I don't have pictures of others like Juan Carlos (the dad I stayed with), all of the Ballardo Family, the ward, more children at the school, etc! I MISS YOU ALL!
