Sorry for the cheesy title, but I can't wait!
I leave this next Monday to head on out to Peru! I leave this Monday at 12:30
AM, so technically Tuesday, but we leave the MTC at 8:00 Monday! I already have
my filter water bottle!
This last week has been interesting! It really
has all of the sudden turned into week one again! We are going over every part
of Preach my Gospel, like we did on week one, and we are learning how to start
our first lessons... Like we did on week one! We are learning how to make a
plan for a lesson... Like week one... But it's all good stuff! And much more
fun now that I can talk in much better Spanish than in week one! That’s
probably why we are doing it all over! Haha!
We really lucked out on with all of our
teachers and leaders at the CCM! Presidente Lyons again has been such an
amazing example! His wife has been super sick, and is going into surgery this
week. He really appreciates all of the support he gets! He is so busy… he has
to help his wife stand, brings her meals, and from all of this still worries
about our Branch, and is the Executive Secretary of the CCM! He is one of the
best examples I have here of a good leader! Our teachers here really devote a
lot of time to helping us out. We try really hard, and they really appreciate
us! Hermana Correa is so helpful and funny, and Hermana Sausedo is fantastic!
We have learned so much and I don't know how they had the patience to do it!
Listening to the 1st week Missionaries, I just hope I wasn't that bad!
It is crazy how fast you learn the language
here. It's a little bit more difficult now that I know more words, I need to
focus more on the Verb tenses. It is super fun to practice with our Latino
Roommates! We have been teaching them English. We have got them so far to ask
what our favorite color is, what we like to do, how we are doing, and of course
they now have a large vocabulary of Nacho Libre quotes! We had to! Their
accents match perfect! It’s a blast in our room!
Well, not much else is happening, since it is
the last week. It's nice to have a lot of Spanish already, I thought I would know
a lot less.
I have been reading “Jesus the Christ”, and it
is amazing to see everything laid out. For me, has not been as difficult as
everyone else has said! Haha! But I get a lot of time to have personal study
along with the Spanish study.
I have made new friends, learned more Spanish,
and of course learned more about the gospel! Love you all!
¡Gracias!
