Ay yay yay! I can't belive I only have 17 months left. When I think about how fast this last month has gone by and I only have 17 more of those it seems like it is going to FLY. I only have 1 more P Day left till I am in the field! I don't know what writing will be like there.. I will let you know when I can. I know sometimes it might seem like it's crawling but overall I know it will be over before I know it. I am so excited to get out in the field, but I don't feel 100% ready.. But I don't think I ever will. So I am excited. I am 99.9% sure that I am going to be reassigned. No one is getting visas for Argentina.. I heard yesterday that Argentina hasn't received any missionaries since October! Which is really bad.. So I am just assuming that I will be somewhere else probably for a long time before I go to Argentina. I will let you know where I am going as soon as I find out.
My spanish is coming along great! In my lessosn with investigators I do REALLY well. Sometimes I am a little slow at remembering conjugations, so that will be my focus for the next two weeks to memorize those. And I know so much about gospel language but not really any normal language.. haha but I know that will come and The Lord will help me if I do my best and right now I know my main focus should be on learning the lessons. So that's what I am doing! I love teaching. We just started teaching each other as a district so I get to be an investigator! It's really good because I can see how they teach and if they answer my questions the way I need them to be answered.. and it's really cool to be on the other side of things. I know it will help me to become a much better teacher.
I also am really loving being a sister training leader! We have already been able to help a few hermanas out and it feels really good to serve them. Yesterday our district got to host the new missionaries who come in. Mom and Dad do you remember when you dropped me off and there was that nice sister missionary waiting to escort me? That's what I got to do! I helped 2 sisters and it was soo fun. I loved it. It was so fun to help them around and get all their things and take them to class. Although I messed up both times. The first one I accidentally forgot to get her books before taking her to class so we had to go back to get those and then the second girl, I accidentally took her to my building for class because we were talking and I forgot to pay attention to where we were walking! So I probably just confused them some more.. Pero esta bien. I think I made them feel welcome instead of overwhelmed which was my goal. Hopefully..
This Sunday!!! I am soo beyond excited for this Sunday. I can hardly wait! I am in the choir to sing for the PROPHET! AND ALL THE APOSTLES!! It's going to be so amazing to be so close! I can already feel the spirit just thinking about it! It's going to be so great. And Mom and Vanessa get to come! That is the best news ever! We will all be in the same room with the prophet! I hope I see you guys sitting or something. Also, yeah I am not supposed to look for you, but if I see you it's okay to say hi and hug but we aren't supposed to look for each other. But see if they show my face on the big screen! Cause I can't watch that I have to watch the director! The choir is combined with 1300 missionaries and I think 1000 ish members too. So it's going to be so cool! Mis hermanas and I have been practicing. I get to sing the alto part! It's so fun I love it.
So this last Sunday during movie time we watched The Testaments which is probably my favorite church film. We were so excited to watch it and we weren't disappointed. The end is my favorite part. When Christ comes to the Nephites and he heals Helam. So good! The hermanas and I were crying! And it was so wonderful. I love our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with all of my heart. I could not do anything without Him. I know that now more than ever. He is in everything that we do. The Lord's hand is in our lives! I wish you all could see it as well I do! I know it's like I am on a spiritual high but I really want you all to look for ways that He is there and that He helps you. And then write me and tell me about them because they are so helpful to me. My testimony just continues to grow of the savior and what He truly did for us is amazing. I am in awe whenever I think about it. I know I have a long way to go to become like Him but each and every day He helps me work on something else. I know life is hard and I forget even here in the MTC the most spiritual place I have ever been, all that Christ has done for me. But God knew we wouldn't be perfect, that's why He gave us His beloved son. God hears us. He helps us. He loves us. It's wonderful. Keep going everybody! Pray for help and strength! He will help you. I also seemed to focus a lot this week during study time and lessons about getting through hard trials and how sometimes we may feel like we are alone but we never are. Even if you think you are doing things on your own, I promise He is there. Leading you along.
We have taught TRC's 3 times now! That is where it is like family home evening where we go teach member volunteers usually in spanish! And the first time was really hard and the next week was good and this Last week was amazing. We all spoke so well in Spanish and the spirit was so strong. I love the spirit. He truly is the teacher in all of this. Not us. We play a huge role and have a lot of responsibility to help him but he is one heck of a guy, I can tell you that.
I loved hearing about the Trek! It sounds like it was awesome! This week we worked out really hard with one of the new Sisters in our district who had this insane workout and Hermana Moberly and I haven't really been able to move for a couple days.. Every time we have to stand up or open a door we make this uncontrollable groaning sound. haha but it felt really good at the same time. I am sure you guys probably felt similar during the Trek. I remember you guys making me go on that thing twice! Ay yay yay.. I miss working out though. I seriously don't think I had worked out like that since High School.. Which is sad. We made a goal to do that at least 1 gym time a week. Then I just barely realized as I was typing that is only 1 more gym time! OH MY HECK. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Crazy and scary but exciting and new and adventurous and spiritual and I can't wait to become even better!
I don't have a lot of time left but I am so grateful for all the love and prayers and letters and packages! I miss you all and pray for you all each night(it's a really long prayer especially since it's in spanish). Tell Mark and Nate to write me! Did Nate get my letter? Somebody tell me what's going on! I feel lost sometimes over here. Extrano mis hermanos! Okay, Adios! Love you all! Until next week!
Also, I got a shot a few days ago and I had to pay for it with the cash that I had here but I sent you guys a form with all the information like the insurance form and everything so you can get the money back from that. Because I will definitely be needing that money back before I leave the MTC for my travel money. Also could you send me a new SD card? Mine doesn't always work in my camera.. I sent it to Seth to see if he could get the pictures off of it so invite him over for dinner again so he can bring that to you and if you guys could take the pictures off and fix it or send me a new one or something.. Because I can't take any more pictures without it! Tell Sara she can pick some off of it for the blog that are her favorite. There is a really cool one of my whole district in a circle that I really like. Also one with mis hermanas! Also any news on the contacts?? And if someone could send me a contact case that would be great. Kay seeya!
