Hola!!! This week went even faster than the last which is crazy! This week has been a bit rough on me because I am trying to have patience with the language. And my companion says that I need to enjoy myself more haha so I am going to try to trust in the Lord more and have fun and work super duper hard! This week we found some people, and we gave quite a bit of lessons. Me talking in lessons is still pretty rough, but people basically get the gist of what Im trying to say. But I am definitely going to try to talk more. Because I didn't include it last week, my normal schedule is waking up, exercising, personal study, comp study, and then we go out to work. We try to contact more in the mornings and then have lunch, do the rest of our studies at home while people are sleeping (siesta), and then at nights we have lessons. There is one family that has been progressing. We are trying really hard to work with them and keep them moving forward. They had a baptismal date, but it got moved back. So we will see what happens. Its been getting a tiny bit warmer here (especially yesterday and toady) and it feels amazing! Its going to start getting warmer in September.
Sundays are a little crazy in church because so many people come up to me and kiss me and say lots of things and I dont know what they are saying, and then classes are difficult, because, well, I don't know what they are saying and then sacrament meeting is difficult because there are so many kids running around and making a ton of noise and I cant ever really hear the speakers. You never realize how reverent people are in the states haha. We went to a members house this week for lunch and that was probably the poorest house Ive seen. Their kitchen was like the size of a tiny bathroom, and their bathroom was a separate room outside, it was just crazy. But the members are so nice! We were also at a members house yesterday for lunch and the tv was on and I heard Michael Buble sing and I was like oh my heavens I love michael buble! And their daughter just laughed at me haha. And I started singing a michael buble song (dont know if thats bad). Its the little things haha.
I dont know if theres too much to say this week, but I do know that the Book of Mormon IS the word of God. There was so much sacrificed for that book to be in our possesion. Love that book. And read it. Study it. Have questions. And pray about it. I love the Book of Mormon so much. And I know that its true with all of my heart. I am grateful for the opportunity to be on a mission. Its super hard and sometimes frustrating, but it humbles me and I get to share my testimony with other people :) I love you all and thank you so much for your prayers! Sorry about the lack of pictures also. I brought the chord to send pictures, and its not working.....its not my fault Im sorry! Theres not many good quality things here! I love yall!
