Hola Familia!!
The time here is flying. It is so crazy to think that so much time has passed since I was last at home. It is funny when people talk about time, like they will say yeah that happened back in like the end of July. and all i can think is uh... that was like last week. it feels like time just freezes when you walk through those doors at the MTC. you are writing down the days that pass but nothing outside of the MTC or outside of North Carolina is actually happening. haha
But what is this that i am hearing about us going to war with Syria??? I feel like we just tried to end one, or was that just me. But yeah we have been spending time in the hospital for my companion, so i hear and sometimes glance at the TV. ha but i do NOT miss the news.
Everything went well this week. we werent able to do a whole lot of work because we had meetings all week. Tuesday i went on exchange with the District Leader, who the week before got in a car crash, totalled the car, and lost his driving privileges. Well that meant that we got to bike!!! And it also happened to be literally the hottest day of my mission. it was ridiculous. i have honestly never sweat so much in my life. but it was really fun. i was catchin air on every driveway... like the first three then i got tired and realized, i got A LOT longer to go so i should probably take it easy. which i didnt do obviously. but i had fun. we spent a lot of time at the courthouse and Police Station doing paper work and paying the ticket. we got lost in the courthouse for a while and it was just funny. oh by the way, worst job ever... security check at the Courthouse. Those poor people. I woulda left a book of mormon if i had one just because i know that eventually they would read it out of sheer boredom... thats actually not a bad idea.
Wednesday was nothing but travel. i drove home, we cleaned the car, packed, ate at a members house, did correlation, and then left for Charlotte.
Thursday was the training meeting. it was so much fun. i got to see people i know and that didnt just talk about their companions from six months ago!! it was so fun. but the training was amazing. i learned so much. our president is such a great guy. I just tried to soak it all in. i took a ton of notes. But that took till four, so when we were getting ready to leave, we asked the Senior missionary in charge of cars to come look at our car. this poor car. it got a hub cap stolen. did you know that they are literally just a snap on piece of plastic!!! that blew my mind. to put on the new one he just lined it up and slapped it!! well then we said we needed new tires cause they looked a little old. well we walked up to the front left one and there was a massive strip of the tire basically missing!! you could see the metal and everything. He wouldnt let us drive it all the way home obviously so we got the Assistants car. and that one was sweet. sooo much bigger!! but yeah. no doubt we had some help on that one. just getting us there was a miracle.
after that nothing really happened. oh. Sunday i gave my first talk in all spanish. it was hard. but i enjoyed it. sometimes i wonder why i write the talk, because i never use it. but then we ate at a less actives house that had come to church that day, oh their daughter, who hadnt come to church in five years, I have just been talking on facebook with her and she showed up this week!!! crazy. but we ate with them and when we had just shared the thought we were going to say the prayer and this little baby started crying. and all of a sudden i just had the thought of Grandma over there Quieting him down, and from that moment, he never made a peep. It was really cool. we have angels with us for sure. our family is all around...
But I am having a lot of fun. I am so grateful to be out here.
i have no idea what in the world i would be doing without my mission.
Thank you all for your examples and emails! it is so fun to get on here
and have people to write. thanks again.
Les Amo mucho!!
