The Zone Girls
Hola all!
This week has been such an amazing week. I am finally getting into the
swing of things. I. Love. Being. A. Missionary. I don't know how many times I
can say that. This brings me the most joy, seriously, yesterday I was thinking
about how much this will bless my life. I have already seen SO many blessings
because of it. I feel like my life has purpose now. Anyways, we have had so much
fun the past week. I have become so close to my teachers and my hermanas. I
cannot wait to be best friends with them forever. I love them.
Tres Amigos
(By now you have probably noticed a pattern of these three Hermanas together in many pictures)
Okay so some funny things happened this week. The water here is literally
disgusting (sorry I am a total water snob) and my district always puts their
water bottles in the freezer and then let it melt throughout the day. (It makes
it taste a little bit better... :)) Anyways, I filled mine up completely and
shut it tight and then left it in the freezer all night. I took it out and
within 5 minutes it exploded and it almost hit a hermana in the face. It sounded
like a gun shot! I was laughing so hard. I am just so blessed I wasn't holding
it in my hands when It exploded. later that night we went back to our apartment
and as I turned on the light it exploded too. Everything I touch breaks
obviously. We are still without light, but its okay I like the natural light
better anyways.
My companion and I, Hermana Wilson, have been teaching a couple Jose and
Hely. (They are Mormon I am pretty sure...) But I love them so much. We have
been told that you will love your investigators when you teach them and it is SO
true. I love them. Yesterday we taught Jose for an HOUR! Just letting you know,
one hour of Spanish just about kills me. The Spirit was so strong though. He
started crying and it was awesome. I still have no idea if he was crying because
my Spanish is so bad or if he really felt something! Just kidding, I cried too.
It was so amazing. Seriously, I love being here and teaching people. It is so
much fun!
This is our last week with HALF of our zone. Half of them are leaving to
Argentina and Ecuador! I am so sad they are leaving but so happy they are going
to spread the good word!
Hannah's District: Elder Gardner, Elder Christiansen, Elder Butts, Elder Tracy, Elder Battenfield,
Elder Fitzgerald, Hermana McKnight, Hermana Erickson, Hermana Shumway, Hermana
Herrera, Hermana Wilson, ME! (best district)
I am sad to report that I have not made any Spanglish puns this week, but
don't you worry. I am sure I will come up with a few more. We had a new teacher
come teach us this week his name is Hermano Clark. He served his mission in
Paraguay! Yes, the same places that I will be going to! His mission split while
he was there. I am so glad I was able to meet him! It makes me so excited to go
there. Also, he said that he only saw one big spider his whole two years!
(Hopefully this isn't me jinxing myself...)
Hermana Herrera and Hermana Murphy (In her cute new glasses!)
This past Tuesday we sang at devotional as we always do. We sang a really
pretty version of Precious Savior, Dear Redeemer. I highly suggest you listen to
it! Anyways, we knew that someone big was going to be speaking because of the
higher security (they need the best at the MTC... we are a rowdy crew) and they
pulled out the talking screens that the GAs use! Anyways, rumor had it that
President Monson was going to be speaking. It was not. Haha. Sister Oscarson,
the General Young Women's President spoke. It was amazing. She talked about all
of her children's missions and how we can be better missionaries. It was
amazing!!! One thing she said that really stood out to me was that we are going
to LOVE the people we teach. I can already tell you all that that is so true. I
have so much love for the people of Argentina! I cannot wait to go in LESS THAN
3 WEEKS! SO excited!
Thank you all for your love and support! It means the world to me. I love
this gospel and I am so blessed to be here and learn how to bring people unto
Christ! I know that this gospel will bring the most joy!
La iglesia es verdedera!
Hermana Murphy
