So the spacebar doesn’t really work on this [computer]. That’s a new one.
Alright,
So to begin, allow me to briefly complain and then I will
talk about all the things that I am loving.
So last week we had our first companionship inventory...
That was exciting. Hermana _____ and I
planned out how we were going to make it positive because we knew that Hermana ______
has been having a hard time. So at
first, we focused on all the things we have been enjoying, and then finished
off asking what we could do better.
Hermana _______ bluntly informed us that she likes Hermana _______, but
hates “people like me.” When I asked her
what she meant, she said that she hates happy people.... So not really sure
what to do about that. I have just
continued being my happy self. I guess
she can deal with it? I have been praying for her. Maybe some prayers from home would help too.
Also, FHE idea for this week. In PMG there is a really great section about
evaluating your own personal development of Christ-like attributes. It looks like a checklist. You should all do it for FHE and tell me how
it goes! It’s amazing for anyone, not just missionaries, to evaluate their
relationship with God.
Dad! You are a hero here.
The Latinos y Latinas think it is SO COOL that you are in the Mo
Tab. They keep asking to see your
picture so that they will remember to look for you in conference. You’re famous.
Alright, a typical day here in the CCM entails waking up at
6:20, reading scriptures, working out, eating breakfast. Classes until lunch,
then more classes, then preaching, then classes, then preaching, then dinner,
then classes then preaching then falling into bed dead tired.
I LOVE IT
Really, I do. Wearing
the tag makes it all worthwhile.
Funny story of the week:
Me and my companions were in the bathroom. I was just
getting out of the stall and my companions where washing their hands when all
of the sudden two Latino Elders come bursting in...
They paused, saw some white sisters and ran screaming “LO
SIENTO!”
Couldn’t stop laughing.
My Spanish is coming along, just not at the rate that I
would like it to. Because the rate that
I would like it to come would be immediately.
Unfortunately, the Lord doesn’t work like that. But I keep working and praying and I know I
will get there.
Second Nefi 32 verses 2 and 3 promise that if we learn the
doctrine of Christ, and feast upon the Holy Scriptures, we will be able to
speak with the tongue of angels. Now
this might be totally false doctrine, but I am pretty sure angels know
Espanol. So it will all be well.
But some prayers coming my way would be much appreciated.
My district is hilarious.
I love it here.
Also, I am the only sister in the WHOLE FREAKING CCM going
to Guatemala City Central... Como say what??
Also, shout out to Emily P! She is like a celebrity
here. People keep telling me that I
remind them of a sister who just left, her name is Hermana P... HIGHEST of
compliments.
Tomorrow is technically P-day. Today is “email and fast-from-English day.”
In other words “write your family in awkward silence because you don’t know
Spanish.”
Do what we can.
Tomorrow, Hermana F leaves.
I really will cry. She is THE
COOLEST sister missionary ever. She is
going to tear it up in Quetzal, I can’t wait to hear all about it.
So here was how I butchered Spanish this week:
While talking to our investigator in Spanish, what I said...
"I know that we all experience difficulties in this
life I fart God will help us."
I TRIED to say...
"I know that we all experience difficulties in this
life BUT God will help us."
PEDO y pero are not the same thing.
Preaching the truth one fart at a time.
Like father, like daughter.
Thanks for emailing me Linc and Kenz!!! I love you both a
whole lot. I don’t have time for individual emails today but I will mail you
letters tomorrow. In the mean time, MAKE GOOD CHOICES
Con amor mi familia,
Talk to you next week!!!
Hermana Wise
