2nd Letter

Hola Familia!

Como estan? Ah I only have 22 minutes to write so I can't write a novel like last week (sorry!)  

Awkwards and awesomes this week!

AWKWARDS, INCOMODOS, Y CHISTES

-a guy in my district is the little brother of this kid I used to kind of date..... yeah... that was kinda weird talking to him about that, haha

-getting ready for the fireside sunday night.  Hna. Harper and I wanted to get there early to get good seats and the room was already full and someone was giving a musical number... we were really confused and thought that maybe they had a musical thing before so we go in and sit down on this row where no one is sitting.  About 5 minutes later we realize we just sat down an hour late into a meeting for all the elders and sisters leaving that week..... . Oops!  we just decided to stay and listen until it ended anyway

-writing 'Herman Hunt' on one of my papers instead of Hermana Hunt

-trying to sing hymns in spanish.  it's very entertaining if you try to listen to us pronounce the words and try to stay on beat

-singing songs and getting off topic.... songs such as 'don't cry for my argentina', 'feliz navidad', 'come on vemenos, everybody lets go' and even making up songs like 'feliz companero' instead of feliz navidad

-our district leader.  he falls asleep, ALL THE TIME.  it is hilarious! I'll send pictures

AWESOMES

-firesides and devotionals (Elder Winkell spoke... dad I think you know him?)

-our district! SO awesome! we are all getting to know each other and becoming way tight

-learning to teach by the spirit

-praying in spanish. once again.  everything we do is in spanish now and praying is the best!!!

-singing.  I never realized how much of a blessing singing would be while I'm here!  My companion has an awesome soprano voice and we sing together all the time.  sometimes we just walk around singing random hymns haha.  My branch president (President Hansen.. he is so awesome!) told me the choir will love me because I have a good alto voice.  I'm usually the only sister singing alto in my district and zone so everyone can pick me out...  My companion and I are going to sing a duet in church and also a quartet with 2 of the other elders in our district

-the elders! our elders are so awesome.  they are hilarious and all such great guys.  they are like little brothers to us haha and we all keep each other in line

-our branch presidency and their wives.. they are all awesome!! And yes Brad Brown's good friend is in the presidency.  Brad told me to look for him before I left and I couldn't believe I ended up in his branch!  He is way awesome

-after the devotional we got to meet as a district with President Hansen and go around and share our feelings on the devotional--which was about the Savior.  It was SO awesome and so spiritual.  I admire all of these missionaries so much and look up to all of them!

Whew... there are a lot more but there's just not enough time to write everything plus you all don't want to hear it all anyway!   My spanish is coming along and we have learned SO much.  We have now taught multiple lessons in spanish and we know how to bear our testimonies, pray, and do a lot of other things in spanish.  It has been a little bit of a struggle because my companion hasn't learned any spanish before so I spend most of my time helping her.  But esta bien!  I am glad to be able to help her and I know we were put together for a reason.  I think the hardest thing has been deciding and agreeing what to teach and what to say during lessons.  But I have learned a lot about following the spirit and also trusting in the Lord and in my companion's ideas, I know she is also in tune with the spirit.

To answer some questions.. my companion is going to Nashville :( :(, and the rest of the hermanas in our district are going to my mission.  Hna. Harper (my companion) and 2 other elders from our district are going to Nashville unfortunately.  It's going to be hard for us all to break apart when our time in the mtc is done!  Our p-day is every Friday (not saturday... that was just for the first week) and we have 30 minutes on e-mail, that includes reading e-mails and sending e-mails.  So the best way to write me right now is through DearElder.com and then I will respond through e-mail.  It's just like writing an e-mail only they print it out here and give them to us like mail.  We get mail every day, but we can only write letters on p-day.  So if you DearElder me I will get it that day which is awesome!  And then I can either write or e-mail back that next Friday.  If you e-mail me I will only be able to read it on Fridays.  Also we can't send pictures via e-mail from the MTC so I am going to send some discs home.  This week was also kind of sad because we had an elder in our district decide to go home on an honorable release.  We don't know what was going on... but it was really sad to have someone leave us and we all feel for him.  All is well though!  I love this gospel!!  Estoy muy muy agredecida por este Evangelio y por la oportunidad estar aqui a la CCM. Yo se que necesito estar aqui.  Jesucristo es mi salvador, mi redentor, y mi hermano y mejor amigo.  Estoy muy agredecida por la expiacian.  Yo se que la expiacian es necesario por todos personas y Jesucristo es el salvadar de el mundo.  Le ama!  I love you all!  Thank you for your support!!

Love, Hermana Hunt

P.s. send me pictures and keep me updated on what's going on in everyone's lives! :)
