Hola Familia y Amigos!
Sorry I don't have much time (as usual) and I am going to e-mail a few other people this week so I better keep this short!
AWKWARDS INCOMODOS y CHISTES
- ok... so I don't have very many this week. Actually I don't really have any. I'm sorry. Hahah. This week wasn't very awkward... maybe because I am just too comfortable here now! Funny things happen everyday though.. but they are the sort of things that you have to be there for! I guess I will share that our district leader and another elder in our district (they were friends before) played a big joke on us Hermanas this week and pretended that they got in a fight during gym and were having to go home. I wasn't so sure if I was convinced or not.. they are always joking! But Hermana Michaud and Harper were both definitely very convinced.. it was quite funny
- that one time when Hna. Harper and I taught and couldn't stop laughing the whole time... yeah, one of the elders in our zone saw the whole thing and every time he sees us now without fail he asks us to sing 'Mas Cerca Dios De Ti' (neared my god to thee) hahaha. We are known as the hermanas that sing... except we haven't sang at the beginning of a lesson since then now... we are too scared we will crack up!!
AWESOMES
- once again I have to say how awesome it is that we pray 24/7 here. At least 10 times a day, and always fully in Spanish, which is AWESOME! Spanish prayers are so beautiful
- the devotional this week was Elder Simmons... he was Alan Hood's mission president in SLC and he is in Alicia's ward in Fruit Heights. It was so awesome! So many of the things he said were major answers to my prayers this week
- on Sunday for the fireside the speaker (Elder Allen) had us listen to the Mo-Tab version of Come Come Ye Saints and he had us sing along with it... it was SO incredible. Once again, I bawled my eyes out! The spirit was so strong!!
Ok... all I have to say is that this place is absolutely amazing. If anyone is questioning going on a mission, there is one answer. DO IT. If you are worthy and able to go, DO IT. There is no other place I would rather be right now and no better place I could be. Heavenly Father answers my prayers every single day and my faith and testimony is being strengthened every day. I am so happy to be where I am! The weeks are flying by and I can't believe that next week I will have been here a month... wowww time is so weird here! At the same time I feel like I have been here forever. Mom to answer your question--yes we do go to the temple! Finally! It has been closed this whole time but just opened this week so we got to go today. It was amazing! Inside the Provo Temple is sooo beautiful! Also Spencer Hatch was in our session which was fun, I talked to him for awhile.
Well, that's about it for this week! Some days are hard here and you feel pretty low, but it's always worth it once you get past it. I have never been happier... the gospel is so incredible and essential for everyone! I hope everyone has a fabulous week! Continue to write :) it's so good to hear from you all! LES AMOS!
