Hi mom!
First off thanks you so much for the letter! It made my day! And yes things ahve improved a lot. She got her own companion and I'm finally feeling like my new comp and I are clicking a little more and getting our own work done. I didn't like teaching in english, it just felt really weird and I forgot some words. My new comp is pretty cool actually. She also talks in her sleep in spanish.
No the girl isn't mine. I asked a round for who the other sister thought could use a little love and they said her. I think a little chirstmas treat would be nice for her :)
Sweet! Thanks mom! Yeah this friday we're having a big conference. We get to sing (if my voice is back by then) a musical number for the zone, have some activities, and go to the temple! It feels like a really long time since i've been, I'm really excited! They're probably going to be giving us the packages then. Fun, i'm excited to see what all they put in there!
Yeah he told me. They've really been working him hard lately. He's just so close with the shop too. Just a bit more and I think things could really start for him. Well I guess one person will be happy about it. Stitch will get you and the bed all to himself, greedy boy.
Wow! What age? It's such a good calling for you :) You get to draw them all the four legged turkeys you want! And that's nice that you get to go to RS too sometimes.
Well, now you're in charge! It's not very fun but you can make a big difference, and I know these people are really going to love you and have a wonderful boss. Tell me how it goes :)
So this week was interesting. I thought I got lice first off. We went to a persons house and they said, "Yeah so the little girl got lice and we all have it." Then my head started itching a day later and I was like, "Dang it!" My comp looked me over and didn't find anything thought so we'll keep our fingers crossed!
I begin to see why Nephi spoke so strongly against the "whore of all the earth". Catholics are very confused. Everyone has been slamming their dorrs in our face this week because of the virgin. They say that it's her birthday today. But a member did research for us and found out the real story of the virgin de guadalupe. They all go crazy about her! There was a huge festival in the park across from our apartments the other day with dances and really cool looking costumes. But the bad thing is anyone who's family is at all catholic (which is to say all Mexicans) will not talk to us this week.
Now that I've the driver we're getting lost alot. Mostly this is laid out like utah, but sometimes the neighborhoods twist and curve and things aren't where they should be. But we're starting to get better at it and we're hopeing to get a good map of our area soon.
The worst thing as a missionary is when you meet someone, set and appointment, call and make sure the day before, then they forget about it and go, "Oh, sorry....can you guys come back another day?" We sigh and go, "Sure! What day would be better?" But secretly we hate it and are thinking, "No actually. We don't want to. Why don't you just write things down!" But we always come back again later.
So the sister that is living with us now is from the New Mexico mission. She has allergies to the cold so they sent her here. She's really nice and pretty happy to be here too. So now we're in our own areas again, which is good. We can get more work done that way and now Sister Belnap is stuck in lesson twidling her thumbs and going, "I have no idea what's going on."
But over all it's been a good week :)
Love you all!
Hermana Watson
