Well friends and family. I have yet to be in a bike crash. I am
actually handling the bike rather well. I love it! I am using a bike
that belongs to the mission. It isn't the best but it gets me from point a
to point b. I really enjoy the exercise throughout the day. It makes it
nice because even if your appointments cancel you still feel like you did a
lot because you biked everywhere.
I am liking the area but I have a hard time saying goodbye to the
old area. I know I can't compare my old area to my new area because I
was in my old area for 6 months and I am just starting the new one. I
have met some great people so far. I hope to get to know the members a
lot quicker now that I am understanding spanish. I am so grateful to
have a companion who speaks spanish really fast. When she gets going in
lessons I listen very intently. It helps to hear native spanish speakers
speak at their own pace. I am learning a whole new part of spanish!
Also in this district there is a lady from the ward who gives us Spanish
lessons every week. I am SUPER excited! I do have to apologize for my
emails though. Last week I was writing and the whole time I kept wanting
to say the word "leaving" but instead I would accidently type the word
"living". I thought I was crazy. I know how to spell those words. I
wondered why I had spelled that word wrong throughout my email. Later on
in the day it hit me. In Spanish the letter "i" makes a "e" sound. So I
was literally spelling "leaving" as it sounds in spanish! I realized
that my brain is in the stage where if I am not thinking you never know
what will come out. Sometimes Spanish, sometimes English! haha I count
this as an accomplishment.
I found out that my trainer is close to engagment! Crazy eh? She
went home only 12 weeks ago. She was writting someone during her mission
and when she went home it sounds like they just hit it off. I am super
excited for her. I miss her so much! I am sad to be missing her wedding.
It is crazy because when I read her letter I had tears streaming down
my face full of joy. It is amazing how any little thing can bring tears
to your eyes. I have happy to say I have had more tears of joy than of
saddness on my mission.
I want to send some pictures so I will wrap this up but I am trying
to think of what I have learned recently. Oh I know! I have been
reading in Alma. I was reading the part when Alma comes into the city
and find these people praying by climbing up a tower and repeating a
certain prayer then climbing back down and then the next person goes. I
am so grateful to know that prayer is more then just repetition. It is
literallly communication between and my Heavenly Father. Because the
people were so corrupted they eventually started war on anyone who was
apart of the church. I love the scriptures. Especially the Book of
Mormon! It is such a great book! Keep reading it! It only gets better
everytime you read!
Well I love you! Have a great week!
