Hooooola!!! wow i cant believe i am on week 3! its crazy to think about. im almost halfway done with my stay at the CCM. weird. but oh my goodness! i just got my first letters in the mail yesterday! haha ya...takes 2 - 3 weeks to get here! but wow....BEST THING EVER!!! haha we were in the tienda when elder springer came in and told me i had gotten two letters! um ya.... i literally jumped out of the store and ran to grab em. haha totally ditched my companion. whoops. thats a big no no. haha. everyone was so jealous! and even more so when there were multiple letters in one of them! 6 letters!!! yay. that made my month. shout out to all of you guys that send me one. that was awesome. and shout out to mama liz for making that happen!! best thing ever. haha i cant say that enough. they reached me at a good time as well. Well this week has just been basically the same as last. haha well obviously because we have basically the exact same schedule every single day. i am still struggling super bad with my espanol so it gets super super frustrating at times but i still try to stay positive. Itll come as i continue working towards it. im pretty good at memorizing vocab. i struggle with everything else. which is a huge problema haha. but its alllll good. this last sunday was awesome! we had a devotional by Steve Allen. he is the head director or of all the missionaries in the world! he was AWESOME! such a good speaker.he got us all involved and he was super funny. its always good to have a good laugh here. but he also taught us so so much. ah so good. and then we watched the joseph smith movie! which i had not seen before and it was so good as well. i recommned it. so our lessons with Fernando have been going alright. we commited him to baptism earlier this week but he struggles with word of wisdom problems so we are trying to help him get over that. but its super awesome also scary that Fernando is now our teacher. he cant kind of help us now with our lesson planning and stuff. oh and hermano silva is now one of our investigators. he is acting as Daniel who has no concept or previous background in religious. we start teaching him in the morning. so im nervous about that. he is going to be a hard investigator. but thats what will help us. we arent always going to have a golden investigator like Fernando. well there are definitely some ups and downs but all is well. and i am still loving it. my district is the greatest. oh ya stupid story. haha so day lights savings occured.....ya. mi and my roomates had no idea. hahaha so we woke up at 5 in the morning that day instead of 6-630 haha we went to class and studied for an hour and were talking about how weird it was that no one else was around. and we just thought the elders in our district were being dumb and not coming to study. so at what we think is 745 we walk to breakfast and we dont see anyone there. so we were so weirded out hahaha ghost town. so we start walking back and then finally we see everyone start coming out of their houses and stuff. and our district leader walks by and says hes going to their 700 meeting so we got so confused. haha but turns out. our district leader forgot to tell us it was daylight savings. we were upset. but it was so funny. we just got a bonus hour of study that morning. haha we were so tired that day tho.
my district is so funny
elder gilmore reminds us of the girl off pitch perfect (i ate my twin in the womb) because we can never hear him cuz he talks so quiet. and then when he talks normal its like a yell haha
elder homer aka elder dynamite - so funny
elder workman - he looks kinda like tom hardy. and has that same intimidating look as he does in warrior. hes going to my mission as well.
elder olsen - such a nice guy. super funny.
elder springer - super nice guy and funny as well
elder hartzog - aka elder hogwarts. so nice and quiet. but funny
hermana wadley - aka hermana wadles. cuz shes so slow its like shes just wadlin her way everywhere. (haha. dont worry she knows it and thinks its so funny)
hermana cahan - shes super nice, smart and funny
hermana janzen - she is sooo funny. and so nice. she was training for the olympics in Rio for archery but decided to go on a mission instead. she said that she doesnt think she would be mormon still if she stuck to that life. she would go to olympic training competitions that were on saturdays and sundays but she wouldnt compete on sundays and her saturday scores alone would beat everyone. awesome huh?
