Hola!!
How is everyone. Thank you so much for your emails, I will
try to answer them, but I don`t get a whole lot of time to write. Anyway, i am
just going dive on in with some experiences i have had this week.
So Spanish has been a little difficult, who knew. However,
the Latinos are great helpers in forcing us to use the language. In
Spanish, when one wants to say ``What`s up`` it normally translates to
``que paso``. We, as a district, have been trying to start the saying of ``que
es arriba`` which directly translates as whats up. When we tell this to most of
the Latinos, many of them will look hesitantly at the ceiling. It is quite
hilarious. However, it is beginning to catch on, and even some of the maestros
are using it.
I had the opportunity to play the piano in sacrament
meeting which was a huge blessing. However, the last song was "Called to Serve". I went up, played my two verses, and began turning around to sit down, when I realized that the congregation was still singing. Apparently there are
4 verses of "Called to Serve" in Spanish. It was quite embarrassing, but I was
able to fix my mistake fairly fast. It still was quite a shock. I now appreciate my mom forcing me to practice all those years for a purpose. I am
very grateful to be able to play now.
These have been some of the many great experiences I have
had, and also many humbling ones. It has been tough with Spanish, and teaching
in Spanish is nearly impossible. However, I know with the Lord`s help, He will
be able to make my Spanish into something of use.
I love you all. Thank you for
your prayers.

is certainly the case for me.
Until next week
