Hola familia! :)
WOW.
What the heck you know week on is almost over right? You can't start with not writing me. Here I expect an email, and NOTHING! hahaha Well, I survived what I think was the longest day of my life. Ha. I absolutly LOVE my companion. Hermana Zepeda and I are both going to San Fernando. I am so grateful that God knows me so well He knew I needed a reliable companion to start me off. She is from El Salvador. I'll be sending a picture. My roomates are in my class (Which is also my district)...which is the advanced class. Hermana Bojorquez (Parents from El Salvador, y Ecuador! like my companion!), going to St. George, and hermana Camarillo, going to Oakland, California. We all get a long SOOOOO well, it truly is amazing. Oh my goodness, I'm still not even unpacked all the way. Seriously. There is no time to do anything....execpt for study. STUDY. STUDY...and sometimes if we are lucky, we study even more! :-) My companion is really patient, and I feel like I have known her forever. It really is a beautiful thing. So with the 2 other sisters and me and my companion, there are 4 other in my district. Elder Coffman, Elder Hill (both came from Boutiful), Elder Garcia, and Elder Baez. They are a really great group of people. We were actually talking about how all their faces seemed familar. I think it's really becasue we all chose to come before this life and knew each other. We are like a family already. Thank goodness. It was a little nerve racking...but I felt peace all at the same time. Who knew. My spanish has already gotten better, but I know that right now, that is my only barrior. Too bad, but I'll get there. It is sooo hard to fall alseep, but it is getting better. Also, the lights in in hall stay on the whole night. So in my room it is pitch black, and in the morning you get up to get ready, and you feel like your eyes and head are going to die. Not cool. Anyway, the food is actually really good. I do like the MTC or the CCM. There are some people that obviously don't, but it pushes me to do things that I feel I am NOT ready to do but have to do them already. For example, yesterday adn today we already had to teach...as if we were in a lesson! It was crazy you know like HELLO...Do you realize I just got here on WED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But that's okay. The first lesson went really well, the second one today...not so good. We were in a room in one of our teachers and we had to teach him as if he were investigating the church for 25 minutes! Blah. We will get better for sure. At times, there are moments were I sit in the 15 x 10 ft room and think, my head is really going to explode....no really...I think it will. Ha but it is all for a very good reason. I thought I was going to feel really inadequet, worried, and tal vez scared, but all the fear and concerns that I had vanished. If we focus on our cause, God will take care of the rest. I have already seen that as a miracle in my life now.
I saw Josh Matthews, Kimberly webb...who is my neighbor, ha, and 5 other people I know! neat. I saw Mary like 3 times...but it's still nice to know she is here and pray for her often.
I have NEVER EVER been around so mayn men in my life. Seriously. I mean BYU-I is 3girls:1guys ratio. Here there are 2000 elders and 200 sisters.....it's sooooo weird. It's like hermanas are nonexistant.
I can feel the spirit so strong in my life right now. There so some things that concerned me coming in here, and I have felt so much that God knows them and is taking care of me. I love that I know you guys really will be taken care of because I am being taken care fo right now. I do believe that and I am so greatful for it. I don't have a lot of time, especially since it's my first P day...and I still have to unpack ha! lol All day everyday is in spanish, and I find myself saying things wrong in english or not being able to spell things...I guess that can be a good thing. Anyway, update me! I'm alive, kicking and happy. I hope you are too. How is everything going for you guys?!?!?! Alive?!? Time is up!!
Cuidansen! <3
