Week 2

Roomies from Snow College

This week was 100x better than last week. So sister Caswell's grandma sends her the funniest packages and this week it has 2 big bags of fresh peas from her garden. So we had the Japanese sisters over. They are from Australia and we just had a pea party and ate them all. I guess we'll see what the next package is.

After we each taught our investigator Julia we were all talking about our lessons and all the funny things that happened. Things like two of our elders were asking her to get baptized. she said "schon sich taufen lassen" which means that she has already been baptized. but schön means beautiful. So they thought she was saying beautiful baptism. and they were saying yeah it will be.lol. she had to finally pull out google translate. Or when sis Wilson and sis frank and I were teaching her she was trying to tell us to hurry up because she only has a little time left. We could not figure out what she was saying. It took us literally 7 minutes to figure out that she wanted us to hurry up. By then it would have been faster for us to have just finished lol. But it is coming along slowly but surely. I also had the amazing idea of saying that we should give her the actual missionaries number. Then they reminded me that we are the actual missionaries hahaha. So now that is a huge joke.

German is pretty tough and my comps have learned some before coming so usually I say only like 3 things in our lessons because I don't know how to say a lot or I do not know what is going on. Usually a mix of both. By the time I figure out what I want to say it is too late to say it. So then I am lost in the lesson again. Anyway, we read a scripture and it is in D&C and it says to not think beforehand what you should say, but it will be given to you in the moment. So I went into my lesson with that in mind and I just listened to Donata the girl we were teaching. I did not try to think out what I was going to say. And I was able to actually talk to her, and testify and teach her.  whole entire lesson. It was so amazing to see the gift of tongues work for the first time. I mean I am sure it is here but sometimes it is hard to see. 

Friday morning sister frank woke up with a pink goopy eye. then at dinner we decided she might have pink eye so we went to ask the nurse because I am definitely not trying to get that. The nurse sent us straight to urgent care lol. So we got to leave the MTC for a little bit. It was a nice break. We debated if we should stay there and miss class. She ended up actually having pink eye.

I love my zone and especially my district. They all have helped me to grow in a positive way.

Sorry my email is so random. Hope you are all doing well.
