Hey y'all! (that's Ustedes in espanol.)
I'm just going to make this a short update. I would rather go back to my room and write a snail mail letter because those are longer and better, but I'm short on time today because I had to get a hair-cut and get stuff at the bookstore. There's never enough time on P-Days. . .
Hopefully I'll have enough time later tonight to write the snail-mail--we can officially write letters til 10:30, but emails stop at 6, so I have to make sure I get this one out. :D
This week has gone well. Tired almost all of the time, but that's just kinda how it is, you know? Lol. Oh, funny story: So here at the MTC we get to teach "investigators"--members who volunteer to act as investigators. Anyway, we have a schedule and an "area book" that tells us the details about the family that the "last missionaries" left us. We're scheduled to teach the first lesson in English the first week, then teach it again the second week, the second lesson in English the third week, and again the fourth, then the fifth week we have to teach the first lesson again, but in Spanish. Did that make sense? So it's 1 in English twice, 2 in English twice, then 1 in Spanish twice, then 2 in Spanish twice. Anyway, so yesterday was the last time we were teaching the second lesson in Spanish--or at least, it was supposed to be. Our "investigators"--an old Mexican couple--actually didn't speak English. So, well, we graduated to the seventh week last night! Hna Baird and I know enough Spanish to teach it, and Hna. Lisiate bore really powerful testimony. Altogether you could tell the Spirit was there. There was no way we should have been able to teach that lesson in Spanish, but we did. Well, "Span-English" as the Mexican sister said. Lol. It was pretty cool.
The rest of this week has been pretty much normal. I'm working on developing charity, which is a lot harder than it may sound at first. I'm working on watching what I say--you all know how sarcastic I am. Anyway, that's something that I'm working on here. I was talking to Heavenly Father the other night and I'm pretty sure that's what He wants me to do. Just being careful to let my speech reflect The One whose name I bear. At least, I'm trying. . .
My companions are doing well. Hna. Lisiate went to the orthopedic doctor yesterday and found out it was a third degree sprain, not second degree, and she has to go to physical therapy. But she's getting better, and it's all good.
Oh, and I'm singing on Sunday with Sister Rosser! She's playing and I'm singing. It's called "Whole Again." Did we ever sing that one for you? Anyway, we're performing at her departure devotional. Pretty exciting, huh? She leaves next Tuesday! Weird. . . . I still have five weeks, and I'm loving it. I am so grateful that I still have time to get better. The Lord knew I would need this much time to get up to par. Hopefully I won't dissappoint Him. I think I'm doing ok so far. . . :D
Ok, I'm going to go. I'll answer your letters later tonight in snail mail, but this is just a quick update. I'm well, and happy, and almost ready for dinner. Heehee. The food is good here too, you'll like it Kyle. And Bethany. And who else was going? :D You'll all love the MTC, the atmosphere is amazing, and you make eternal friends. I know I have.
I love you, thank you for your letters. You have no idea how much I appreciate them.
Love,
Hermana Crowley
