haha - jkjk! I did have a few
breakdowns this week because of all the wonderously hard things that come with
being a missionary but that's okay cause it is supposed to be hard and I'm
working on being humbled! My companion is awesome and tries to tell me in
whatever way she can. I get nervous saying things but she forces me through them
because she knows I can do this...it's just taking me a little more time to
realize I can. I know I can do it with my big brother at my side, and Heavenly
Father too, just need stronger faith to do it all.
So this week started with Visitor's
Center training - that includes learning all the kiosks in Spanish and English,
Teaching a sister who has been there longer and being taught by them too - all
the lessons in Spanish and English. I also have to outline lessons that I can do
and questions I can ask - english and spanish. I'm also having trouble with the
Spanish! I LOVE SPANISH - I just can't speak it very well yet... and not really
sure how to do my language study, so if anyone has ideas for that it would be
wonderful!! I'm trying to figure it out through prayer and study, but getting
chastened so that I can become stronger. In the eye of the storm everything
looks soo overwhelming, but it is only after that storm that we learn we were
being lead the whole time by our Father in Heaven...just working on that.
We have had some awesome investigators this week. One is in the area we are
whitewashing - her name is Reina. She is a single mom and struggles getting to
church because she has to work. It is so great to visit with her because her
desire is there! She WANTS to learn and she WANTS to be baptized, she just needs
faith to know Heavenly Father with provide for her. My comp was talking to me
today about how we only study to help others and in turn we learn for ourselves.
I studied patience today for me but after thought of Reina and how great she is
but how much she needs patience to help her with her struggles. Maybe I'm going
through this to help her. I will let you know when i figure it out. but I know
Heavenly Father is going to help us both if we just stop worrying and
continually come to him.
I had my first papusa yesterday - kind of like a quesadilla but a lot
smaller and just bread closed on all sides...from El Savador! It was delicious!
One of the new members took me and my companion for lunch! So nice of him! Love
the people here!

companion is great at this and I hope I can improve on this as well! OKAY - love
you all again! Hey - if you are a convert to the gospel, can you send me your
story? I also invite you to send it to the missionaries who taught you if you
