So, cool things happened last week. President sent us like a bunch of
letters to read and parts of them were exerpts from letters from
missionaries in our mission (like parts of their letters to the
president) and we're just reading them last week and my companion is
like.....hey, I think this is our story. and IT WAS. oh my. And it was
my letter....like my spanish grammar was sooo bad but hey it was okay.
But kinda a cool thing to have president like your letter and send part
of it out to the whole mission....I felt pretty happy.
ALSO,
thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes! It was honestly one of
the best birthday ever! I was woken up by all my companions at like 6 30
am. They threw balloons on me and sand happy birthday and brought me a
cake haha it was so cute. Nothing like taking a video at 6 30 am right
after you wake up....haha Dont worry, even though I don't have a camera,
there's like 3 recordings of the days events on my companions cameras
so one day I'll eventually receive them. Anyway, that day in our ward we
had an activity called One day like a missionary. All the youth and
adult members were invited to go and they had like a little MTC in the
morning and then we went out and contacted in the afternoon. It was so
cool because in the morning when they were in their little classes we
got to help teach (all the RMs from the ward were the teachers) and we
got to help too and it was was really fun to get to teach them how to
teach and be missionaries. It also made me realize that we really do
learn so much here on our missions. Like, we were doing practices with
them and to us it's so easy to know what to say because we've been
teaching for a long time but for them it's like, they know this stuff,
but it's different when you have to teach it to someone who's never
heard it before. So that was pretty cool. There was one point during
this activity right before lunch when everyone was gathered together and
they were like Hey, someone here has a birthday.....and so I went
up.....and THEY ALL SANG ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY......yes, like 50 Ecuadorians
sang me happy birthday. In Spanish and in English might I add...here in
Latin America, I don't know why but they all know happy birtthday in
English too but they still have their accent so it was funny. haha it
was the best. I just felt so loved. This was one of the best birthdays
I've ever had and I don't think I'll be forgetting it any time soon ahah
thank you again for all your love and support! have a great week!
