This week flew by just like all of the other ones. After this thursday we only have two more teaching appointments in the TRC. (That's how we measure our time here.) That's so crazy! I'm not even close to being ready to go out in the field and start talking to people in spanish! I guess no one ever really is, though. I am excited to be totally immersed in the language because that's when I learn the most.
Our first lesson in spanish went pretty well. I wouldn't say that the "investigator" was really converted all the way, but hey, we got the main points of the lesson across and were able to testify. It was super hard, but I felt the spirit as we taught testifying that what we teach is true.
I accompanied my companion in church yesterday. She did a violin solo. It was a Jenny Oaks Baker arrangement. (I know Kendra knows what I'm talking about.) "Love is Spoken Here." It went well and I really enjoyed being able to play the piano.
For the Brown's: do you know Brother and Sister Horne? They told some stories that sounded really familiar about going to Baremejio?? and building bathrooms with family to family in 2004. Anyway, he is a counselor in my branch presidency. They're awesome!
I get to be a host missionary this Wednesday, (assuming I don't get quarentined.) I tested negative for the flu today, but sometimes they do it anyway if you're sick enough. I have a doctor's appointment at 4:00 today. Pray for me! Anyway, I'm excited to get to help people in their first day here. That was a fun one for me...
Kendra, I thought I'd let you know that I met Brother and Sister Holt while I was at my service assignment. They are really nice and they have nothing but good things to say about you. Thanks for being such a good example of how a latter-day-saint should act. I also met Sister Chamberlain in line at the bookstore. She was the one that recognized me first. She and her companion bore their spanish testimonies to us and you can tell her parents that she is doing extremely well with the language. I think she was probably better than me and I've been here 3 weeks longer.
Sorry my messages have been kind of scatter-brained lately. Hopefully I make some kind of sense. I'm excited to be able to see the Greenhalgh's! I love you all and hope you are all healthy and well. (Both spiritually and physically:). Have a great week!
