DEAREST FAMILY:
You sound like the busiest people in
the world. Well, that´s probably not true... but after the relaxing
p-day I am having, it sure sounds like ya got a lot going on. How great
are the last weeks of school, right?
This week was not super interesting. The most
excitement we had daily was that our food forgot us almost every day. It
is a great feeling to walk a billion miles expecting some delightful
Mexican treats (The food is way less sketchy here) ... (except at one
house...) only to find that they are not there, and now you have to walk
another thousand miles across town to the RS presidents house so she
can feed you. Actually, we only went to her house once. She fed us all
kinds of shrimp and it was DELICIOUS, but we think that maybe Hermana
Lopez is allergic to shrimp. Don´t worry. She is fine. The other time we
just went to Subway. Apparently the food forgetting about us is a common occurrence.
We also had interviews with the
President last week. I just love him! And his wife! They just make me
feel so loved! President Morales gave me some really good advice on how
to invite people to be baptized in the first lesson. Most of it centered
on being a love-focused missionary. When love is the motive you cannot
go wrong. He counseled me to be more open with my feelings towards the
members and the people we are teaching. He said, "Don´t worry about
trying not to cry, because if you are worried about that you will hinder
the Spirit." I thought, "Well, that´s unfortunate. Because I have
actually been really proud of my tear-control lately." So... here it
goes. Hope I don´t freak out my companion with the flood that is sure to
follow.
Just in case you were wondering about my spelling-slash-grammar problems, I think you should know that I am
starting to forget English. Not a lot.. so don´t start clapping(Mom) too
soon. It´s just... Por ejemplo: The other day Hermana Weaver was
telling me a story about laundry. She said something about the "Laundry
washer," paused, and then started laughing at herself because that is
not actually what you call it. What was REALLY sad is that I didn´t even
correct her. I was just nodding like, "yeah! Laundry washer.. that´s
right!" hahahaha Ohh we got a good laugh out of that. Then I wrote it
down on my memory calendar, but I put laundry machine--which would be
correct-- instead of laundry washer. So that´s embarrassing. Also, I
hope you thought that was funny because if you didn´t....awkward.
Que mas.. que mas... We are going to have a baptism
this weekend! That is.. if they pass their interview tonight. (last
night during the pre-interview, we asked the Mom what the word of wisdom
meant, and she told us that it meant someone that has a lot of wisdom..
hahaha. Don´t worry. We cleared that confusion right up). It is not
Ericka, nor is it Raul, but it is a Mother and Daughter named Matilde y
Leudy that are so precious! I love them so much! They are the most
caring and generous people I have met on my mission. Hna. Lopez and I
think she is going to be the next RS president. :)
Well.. I got 10 minutes left to figure out this computers picture system. I apologize in advance if I can´t figure it out.
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY GRAMPS!!!!! Thank you for being the BEST Grandpa, and for your
righteous example to all of your many grandchildren. I love you so
much!!!
I love you I love you I love you!!
Hermana Monser :)
