Hola Familia y Amigos!!! como estan?! Que
pasa?!!?
Life here at the CCM is as crazy and great as
ever!! we are so busy every single day that it’s crazy!! We have 16 hour days
and sometimes when i wake up in the morning i feel like i haven’t even slept
and then we get back to work!!! So last week we had a special guest speaker!! A
member of the 70 and his wife came to speak to us and it was an awesome
talk!!!! He was so super cool!!! Tonight we get to listen to another one!!
wahoo!!! I’m so excited!! They bring the spirit like none other!!! so yah, I love
being here!!!! Last Tuesday was when we had the 70 come and then after that,
the week flew by!!! Spanish here and spanish there, everywhere i turn there are
spanish speakers!!! We got some new missionaries last week and we only got two
new Hermana nortes (north Americans) but they’re both super cool!!! I feel like
the world is so small because everyone somewhere knows someone else in the
church!!! haha!!! So today when we were coming back from the temple trip at
6:20 a.m., we passed some "real" missionaries!!! haha!!! They were
out here for the temple as well from the Guatemala Este mission and i met an
elder named elder Hoffman and he has cousins in Layton and guess what! i know
them!! He’s cousins with the Hootans in our stake and i was like no way!! she
was my teacher in elementary!!! haha!! it was super funny!!! also, for the
second week Presidente and Hermana Cox ran our temple session so that was
pretty boss!!! i super love them!!! haha!! presidente cox it the super
coolest!! He gives us the best talks ever and when he speaks, he reminds me of
the one time when President Monson told his story about him and his brothers
starting the fire!! His eyes get all huge and he has the biggest expressions
and pulls the funniest faces in the middle of his talk and does things to keep
us awake in the middle of the devotional!!! haha!! The other day he and his
wife were speaking to us and they were talking on the iron rod and Hermana cox
is sitting there swinging this broom pole at us and presidente cox was sitting
there dodging it and freaking out that she was going to hit someone and it was
hilarious!! He would sit in his chair and be like falling asleep\ looking super
bored when she would use it to point out over us and he'd jerk back like she
was going to wack him and his eyes would get all huge and it was the best!!! But
they’re super spiritual too so that’s a plus!!!! so I’ve been doing those
workouts that Linley gave me that are boss and I've been making a few sisters
do them with me and since we only have like one hour a day to workout.., we do
the workouts, and then sit the whole entire day so by the end of the day your
cramping so hard because you've just been sitting and its the funniest thing to
see them all limp around from their cramped muscles!! haha!!! el luchar es
real!!! or the struggle is real!! haha!!! but i love these sisters and am
really gonna miss them when we all head off to our different missons!!! It
sounds like everyone is doing great at home and i super love getting all the
emails!! I’m sorry if my replies aren't all that long because i really don’t
have much time so I hope you don't feel like I’m not replying!! I’m trying!!
time is limited! My district is a ton of fun!!! We have battles with flash
cards trying to memorize and I’m pretty sure we break out in one hymn or
another about every 20 minutes in class!! !ha!! but it’s a struggle because we
either don’t know the english words, cant pronounce the spanish words, or stay
on key ever—so its soooo dang funny!! haha!! i love it!!! i think there’s a
total of 3 out of 12 of us in there that can hold a key but they all try so
hard that you can’t help loving when we sing!! We found out this week that
elder smith is color blind so whenever someone gets something new from the
store or from home, they’re sure to ask elder smith what color he sees—funny! highlight
of the week... I learned how to say PLATYPUS in Spanish!! heck ya!!! haha!! its
pretty long but i like use it all the time and since i brought my mini platypus
(stephen junior) or sj, all the latinas ( who taught me how to say it) love to
hold him and teach me new words for Disney all of which i forget a mere 10
seconds later but its lots of fun!! One of the Latinas has phineas and ferb
keychains and they were singing the song in spanish and it was so weird and funny!!
i love them!!! so ya, you say platypus like - Hornitorrinco!!! boo ya! I am
still a bit (like really bad) bad at the language but i try and all the Latinos
laugh super hard when i accidentally say I’m pregnant when trying to say embarrassed
or things like that! But they’re all way nice and they ask me to translate their
testimonies to English and I’m all proud when i know English and can do that
because i actually know something for once!! haha!! It’s the best!! Thanks for
all of the love and support!! i love you all!!!! Yo se esta iglesia es
verdadero! yo se que presidente Thomas S. Monson es un verdad propheta de Dios
y recebir mandamientos donde Dios por la todo iglesia! yo se que Jose smith fue
un propheta de Dios y recibir el libro do mormon y translated el libro por
todos las personas en el mundo!!! Yo se que mi redemer vida y es el Hijo de
Dios!!! Yo se esta iglesia es verdadero!!!! Yo amor esta evangelio mucho!!! i
am so grateful for the atonement of christ and all he does for me and each and
everyone of his childern!!! i know he lives!!! Yo dice esta cosas en el nombre
de Jesucristo, Amen.
