So here are some pictures.The first is the Baptism. MY FIRST!!!! YEAH HOO!! The second is me and my comp. (Didn't receive any pictures in the email - sorry. She just thot she sent)
Well, I don´t even know where to begin. I have a feeling my trainer will be transferred next transfer. We are getting along really well, and that is never a good sign. Plus we went into the office today and needed to buy a new metro pass and they told her to only buy one for one month. Transfers are May 4. AHHH!! Anyways. That will be interesting if that happens because usually trainers are with each other for 2 transfers. WEIRD!!
Oh, Sent home a package on the 6th, has a camera card in it. If you could send that back ASAP...that would be rad cause, I only have my small one now.
For a second. Things are really so expensive here. I have to buy a new bra because one of the ones I have, the Wire snapped right in the middle so it does this funny not good thing. Luckily this happenend while we were doing companionship nightly study, so I was just able to handle it. So we went to find a new one, and DANG GINA... they are like $50. And I am a cheapy person. So Yeah DAD, I will need some money in that account. Will you just let me know how much is in there?
We are working our tails off here. At church yesterday, we were scheduling our week with Menos activos and conversos recentes and investigadors and our week is basically full. Here is the problem, Because our week is full and we still have more to schedule, I am going to have to go on splits. AHH!!! That means that I will have to communicate more with the members and with the investigators. My brains always hurt after a good sunday at church talking with lots of people and trying to translate what they are saying in to a language I understand and then responding, but it is coming. I understand about 95% of what is being said, and I can answer their questions about 50% of the time. This is going up and up and up. Hermana Church is a great trainer. I have come to understand alot about myself with her. I have been talking with her about the reasons I haven´t done some things in the past and it has come down to fear. Fear of Failing. She is helping me overcome this. I am becoming a stronger and stronger person in the gospel and putting my strength in the Lord. There was a quote by the old CCM president, President Hill. "Do something that scares you everyday". I love this and this is what I am working for.
So Things are really great here. I am loving it. Semi rainy today. My shin splints were rubbed out by one of the Sisters I live with and she bruised me, but It is all good, because now I can walk. Also, Mom, you know that pain that I went to the Doctor for, " I have Diarreah" Yeah that trip. It is back and in full force. I am working on trying to find the symptoms. All I know right now is that when I jumprope in the morning it makes it hurt and then I get nauseaus and then when we are on the bus or anywhere else, I feel sick. But don´t worry too much. I think that my companion wants me to talk with the Doctor. He only speaks with us through the phone because he is serving in Germany. But, Maybe something good will come from this. I have found that if I take 2 aleve in the morning, i am alright, but I don´t want to have to rely on this. So I am working with the Doctor.
I get to talk with you all soon. Mothers day is coming up. I am excited to hear your voices.
Thank you all for the emails and for the letters. Especially Fullwoods, Robyn, Brownings (for the cookies), Shayla, Shalese, Grandma!! Thank you thank you thank you.
I love you all. And am excited to be working hard here in España.
