Week 2 Down!
Okay so i wish i could read the emails as they come, but i have to wait to do anything for emailing until the time slot from 2-3 p.m on Thursdays. all i can do is journal my basic big email to everyone daily in my notes, but its hard having a tablet because i see every time i get a new email, but its worth the wait. Love you a ton, and i reeaaallly miss you guys, but especially my mom, and my jojo..
Hello again!!!
Okay so this week went by so fast, but I will try to do the best I can to give "detail"...
Last Thursday:
SO it was the first day I got to email home! Emailing you guys, and reading all of your sweet emails made my week, and just made me so happy! Okay so for our first P-DAY, all of the missionaries were going to the plaza mayor, but because of the short notice of me coming here, they did not have any of my paperwork for my residency, and citizenship, so when all of the other Spain missionaries went, I went with my companion, even though I couldn't do anything.. So that residency thing happened on like Monday for everyone else but not for me, so on the day I emailed y'all the first time I had just gotten back from doing my residency thing, so went didn't get to go to the plaza mayor.
Friday:
SO today was pretty sweet! Elder Kelly asked me to sing in sacrament meeting, for Sunday, I'm going to sing "Abide with me tis eventide"... Classic. Hna. Twede, on of the Hna's in my room is "pianoeing" for me. Oh and tomorrow were going back to the park! MONEY...
Saturday:
Que pasa mufasa.. I guess its a saying down here, or up here.. Any who, so today we had the blessing of being able to proselyte in retiro park again, which let me tell ya, is a giant park! So for the park we switch companions so I got to be with Hna. Martens, who was really fun. She was telling me about how sh was a convert of like three years and how she was so excited to be here. I guess that she moved around a ton like I did because her dad is in the air force, but it was fun just getting to know here. OH, crazy miracle happened in the park too! SO Hna. Martens felt inspired to bring a Russian BOM to he park with her, which i thought was a little odd, but didn't say anything. (If i was walking on water, i would a sunk.) SO we get to the park and talked to a ton of people, and handed out some BOM's, and it was kind of winding down so we were on our way out, and i just got the feeling to go down this specific path the get out, and then seconds later we met this Russian couple and were able to give them a BOM, and talk to them with the little English they know. Super cool, and the whole time i was talking to them, every time and English word wanted to come out, only Spanish would..
Sunday:
Okay, i sang in sacrament meeting today. I know, I know.. CRAE CRAE. SO i was a little nervous sing a friggin solo infont of all these missionaries, but then the 4 speakers before my song were having to talking Russian so then i didn't feel so bad. Oh and then that night we sang out on the temple steps, and it was pretty awesome. and hot.
Monday:
Okay, so i don't know what it was but me, and three other Hna's and two elders all got food poisoning or something, so its a bit of a harry situation. Or as some would call it, a "Double bearded dragon". (HURDSDOG)! it was rough, but my district made me a card, and i got better by the next morning, and have been fine since. Oh so every Sunday night we write letters to president and then we get them back on Monday, and he writes little comments, and advice, and answers to questions, and i got mine back today and he just gave me some really great advice, and life, and studying. Super helpful!
Tuesday:
Not much happened today, just normal schedule, but i found out that Friday will be the last lesson with our fake investigators, but that on Monday we get 2 new ones... little nervous about that, but grateful that i get to teach someone who hasn't heard just how bad Spanish can get. toodles.
Wednesday:
So this week has seriously gone bye so fast! Alright so this coming Tuesday is that last day for all of the missionaries going to Russia, and Portugal. That's like half of the CCM, and then we are getting a bunch of new Russians, and Spain missionaries on Tuesday, which will be super cool! SO anyway one of the Russian sister went to BYU-Idaho before her mission and we were there at the same time, so as i have been here i have gotten to know her and we have gotten super tight!, Her name is sister Lundskog, and she is from Portland, Oregon!! whoot Whoot!! Okay so we were sitting at lunch the other day with her and out of the blue she asked me if i would want to room with here when we get off our missions and go back to idaho, and of course i said yes. She seriously is the coolest person. She totally reminds me of megan grant for some reason, she person i swear.
Thusrday:
SO today is P-Day and went to the archaeological museum, and got back and ate lunch and now im emailing you. Oh and i got all the way to the museum and realized that i had left my memory card in my tablet from last Thursday and so i could take any pictures but i am going to make so people email me some, so sorry about no pictures this week, i will do better next time. LOVE you guys so much!!!
