{YAY!! Pictures this
week!!}
This week has been
really rough for my companion so not much happened with contacting! I have a few
funny “Hannah moments” so please brace yourself. If you do not know, my mission
is basically in the jungle and there are some really weird bugs. A couple of
days ago I was getting breakfast ready and I flipping saw a cockroach the size
of my hand on the floor. It gets worse..... IT WAS FIGHTING WITH A SCORPION!!!!
My companion is the bug killer, but she was in the shower so I had to come up
with a creative way to kill it. I probably looked at those bugs for a good 15
minutes before I did anything about it. I was totally stressed out!!!
I took the end of the
broom and kept hitting them until they died. It took a good 10 hits for the
scorpion to die. Hermana Moreno walked out when I was trying to kill them and
she could not stop laughing! She always tells me that gringas are the biggest
babies when it comes to bugs... I believe it. Now I feel like I could live in AZ
without any problems!!
Mom and Dad, are you
proud or what?!!?!?!?!? When I get home I can kill all the bugs in the house :)
after 18 months I will be a pro. Anyways, I think Heavenly Father wanted me to
learn how to deal with bugs! I need this haha.
Anyways, I have a cool
experience to tell you all about! On Saturday the stake was holding an activity
for the youth. It was called “Missionary for a Day.” We were able to go around
with the youth and teach them what it is like to be a missionary! Yes. I was in
charge of 2 girls. By myself. IN SPANISH. You all have no idea how nervous I
was for this. I prayed all morning that it would go well.... and it did! I
taught lesson 1 by myself 7 times! I honestly needed that experience because I
needed to be more confident with my Spanish. Speaking of my Spanish, I
understand well but speaking is hard for me. It is weird because I can have a
super long conversation with Hermana Moreno even using past tense but when I get
with investigators, I freeze!!! Anyways, it is coming along well. I try and
focus on WHY they say what they say instead of what they say and it works really
well.
This week we have
transfers (can you believe I have almost been out for 3 months...) Hermana
Moreno and I will still be serving in Barrio Jardin!! We will finish my training
together :) She is seriously awesome! I am so grateful for her!
Thank you all for the
love and support! I love you all more than you know and I love getting your
letters and love! You are all in my thoughts and prayers!!
