haha my schedule here is pretty much the exact same week to week so not very many exciting things to write about. lots of spanish and scriptures and preach my gospel so good stuff.
One of my favorite things here is the devotionals every sunday and tuesday and this week i could just feel that we were going to have an apostle and then on tuesday at dinner it popped up on the tv screens and elder cook came it was super cool everyone was excited because it has been awhile since one of the twelve have been here. he talked a lot about faith and how that is the most important quality for a missionary to have. he quoted president hinckley who said that 'if our missionaries had more faith they would have more sucess" he told us that as long as were inviting, were doing our job no matter how it turns out. and he also said that we are the message and i think that goes for all members, people see how we act and see the light that shines through us and want to have that for themselves.
On wednesday we got to be hosts for the new missionaries- the people that stand on the curb haha i cant decide if i enjoyed it or not. first i got to host an international girl from brazil- she said shes from like two hours outside of brazilia and she was the sweetest thing on the planet even though she didnt understand half of what i said and the second girl was from Lehi Utah. That was sad cause i had to watch her family say goodbye to her at her car and they were all crying kinda like my family. she only had a few tears and when she walked in with me she was apologizing haha and i was like trust me you have it a lot more together then I did. anyways though i tried to make them feel welcome and happy that first day is crazy.
we had a lesson with an older women this week who told us real personal things from her life and wanted to talk about forgiveness and we all ended up crying at the end of the lesson haha and she told us shes gonna try and sneak food in for us for our next lesson hahah it was really cool though. most of my zone plays volleyball during gym time and they always get mad at me and my companion and a couple others for not coming to play but after i found out that the average sister missionary gains 30 pound i better do something worthwhile during gym. so dont worry im not 200 pounds yet.
all is well i am so happy there are so many good things in life ah i love every minute i have. i pray for you all and love you so so much!
