HI! I SURVIVED ANOTHER WEEK! IT WAS SO GOOD!
this week, we watched 2 MTC devotionals, one by elder Holland and one by elder Bednar. they were both AWESOME!!!! funny how once im here i enjoy watching that type of stuff. lolllllllll. its like a movie but spiritual. both of them were about how to improve ourselves as missionaries and how to have the "power of the word within us." (Alma 26: something). mind blowing stuff.
i gave the closing prayer in sacrament meeting on sunday, and i was scared i would forget how to say some stuff so i wrote it on my hand. but no one saw because everyone had their eyes closed! woooo!
my teaching skills/spanish are both slowly improving. all of our lessons this week have gotten better with each one. for example, i dont have to write everything down that i want to say and what i should say for every single possible response. which is GREAT! its good that the teachers are so nice and patient with our spanish hahaha.
our lessons every day are all super fun. some people complain about how repetitive it is and such but i seriously have no complaints. im learning so much every day and i can feel myself getting a lot better at everything.
soeur thelusma is teaching me french/creole. i now know how to say "komon eu yea" (thats how it sounds, no idea how to spell it) and all the haitians get very excited when i try to speak french HAHAHA. the gift of tongues is real. i know about 4 french phrases now. also "twoilette" is toilet. just add a ton of letters you dont pronounce and there you go.
im gonna miss the haitians when they leave. they leave next week. they all sing louder than anyone ive ever heard and are all so nice and humble and hilarious. one funny thing that happened is soeur thelusma was cold one day and asked for my jacket and so i gave her my grey hoodie. i thought she would only wear it for the day and then give it back, but she has worn it all day every day for the last week and im not sure if shes planning on giving it back ahhaha. and i can't really ask because she speaks very little english. its ok if she keeps it though. hahahha.
my district is great! we're all going to puerto rico so thats fun. all of my teachers are the BEST. i got very lucky.
on tuesday we went to the STORE!!! WE GOT OUT OF HERE! it was basically like walkmart and i got some SICK candy (mom is probably so happy.) it was fun to get out and walk around and see a little bit of the streets and such.
ok! i cant really think of anything else to write!
ive been thinking a lot about alma 26: 11-13 this week. good scriptures. so fun.
bye!!!! love you all!
