Hola Familia!!!
I miss you
all so much! This week has just gone by SO FAST!!! Muy rapido. I swear I was
just here on the computer last Tuesday. Well, I have exactly 3 weeks until I
fly to Utah!!! I can´t wait! I really love it here at the CCM but I just want
to get into the field. I want to teach real investigators....not my teachers
who are just pretending. But I know that the weeks will just be gone and then I
will be really sad when I have to leave so I try to enjoy every day....even
when it is hard.
So I am doing
well.....I am healthy and I think I am losing weight! BOOYA!! I dont really
understand how that works but I feel really good. I do eat a lot here.....so I
am kind of confused haha. They have had Costco pizza three times here (I was so
happy :) and cookies and French Toast. The only milk they have is whole milk
but it is super good...I love it. And then for every breakfast and dinner, they
have...................A PEANUT BUTTER AND NUTELLA BAR!!! It is such a blessing
when you don´t want to eat the mystery meat they are serving and you are
starving haha. I will send a picture of it.
So I have a
lot of random things to say! They have birds here that are really cool! You
know the sound that Iron Man´s suit makes right before he shoots a gun? The birds
sound like that haha....it is awesome. One day, while we were walking to gym,
there was this HUGE bee on the sidewalk. It took me a second to realize that it
was a bug......and then I FLIPPED out. I seriously almost wet my pants
haha....it scared me so bad. But, we laughed about it after because I looked
really funny, according to Hermana Childs.
So I am in
the choir that is singing for the dedication of the CCM! We are singing Lord I
would Follow Thee, but in Spanish. It is gorgeous :) I can´t wait for Feb 9!
So, in clase, Hermano Silva said
that since we have made it past week 3.....solamente Español! Whenever we say
something in English that we can say in Spanish, he says VEINTE! meaning.....20
push ups. My arms are getting pretty buff haha. We always mock him in the
casa...VEINTE,VEINTE, VEINTE! One time, we were talking about Pokemon and I
told them that I watched all the Barbie movies instead. Then Hermano Silva was
like....Oh, that is why you look so plastic every day! I wanted to smack him
but he was just kidding.
On Sunday, my
jaw started hurting really bad :( I don´t know if you remember but it did the
same thing right before my Farewell talk. Well, I couldn´t eat and I was super
hungry. So I asked my DL for a blessing, I felt like it was a stupid thing to
get a blessing for but it hurt super bad. His comp. did the oil and he dumped
the entire thing on my head! I could feel the oil going down my head
hahaha.....it was funny. And then my DL gave me a blessing that I would be able
to chew....very straight forward. BUT they were happy to do it and I think that
they liked using their Priesthood.
On Saturday
night, me and the hermanas in my room were all quoting The Best Two Years. We
were seriously laughing so hard, my stomach hurt super bad. That movie is the
best, I miss watching those. We also can´t listen to music here :( I miss my
Vocal Point!!!
Well, I don´t
know if there is more to talk about. All of the days feel the same, with class
and eating and personal study(which I love!!!) and more class and language
study. We are learning about spanish commands....man those are tough :( But the
Spanish is coming...I hope to be able to do an entire discussion without notes
on how to say things in Spanish.
I love the
Scriptures!! I can´t believe I never read them as much as I do now. They are
amazing and the BOM is wonderful. I love reading every morning. I memorized the
first vision in Español and recited it in a lesson to my teacher. I got a
sticker haha
This week
went pretty well, each day is a challenge but I love it. I can feel the help of
Heavenly Father and Grandpa Shaftoe.
We watched
the Lamb of God on Sunday. I remember watching that with Dad once.....it make
me miss home. But I am so excited to share the Gospel, invitar a las personas a
venir a Cristo!
I love being a missionary.....I
can´t wait to find the people that the Lord has prepared...to find the people
that I promised I would bring the Gospel to :) It´s a cool thought.
I love this Gospel, I love my
family, I love Jesus Christ. I try every day to be a better representative of
Him.
I love you all. Only two more
emails and I will be in UTAH!!!! :D SLY
