Hey My Family!
This week has been better. I feel like the Spanish really is starting to pick up and come along and Michael you are so right! I should just do Spanish all the time, but after we do that for awhile, my comp gets sick of it and starts thinking that we need to speak in English for a bit because she is afraid of losing her English accent that she has worked on. So there is a bit of a conflict there and so we kinda do a mixture of both. But I learn so much from her! I love hearing her speak to people and I am getting MUCH better and being able to follow the entire conversation....even if when I try and speak I generally do not conjugate things correctly, but it is really coming....and I feel that I really will be able to learn this language!!!! I have felt for the majority of my mission thus far that I was never really going to get it, and that my Spanish would always be sub-par, but I really think that I know have the opportunity to really learn this language! I pray about it, and I feel strong feelings that the Lord really does desire for me to get it, and I know that through faith, and my blessing, that I will learn it. So, this brings me such comfort, and even though I sound like a fool still, I know that it will come and that it will rock! But the Lord is really blessing me!!!!!
I have had an amazing week! Daniel Santos got baptized on Saturday! It was amazing! I loved it and he is now clean and pure and he is wonderful! The baptism was a huge success and Hermana Lopez got to see a baptism her 2nd week out here which was awesome! She really liked it I think. We also have a baptismal date with a guy named Juan Gregorio. He is awesome! He is from Central America. He just got his heart broken by a Cuban girl he really wanted to marry, he is such a good guy. He is really humbled right now, and he is ready for the truth. The only problem is that he LOVES Hermana Lopez. A lot of the guys love her, because they love her Chilean accent....and then they love my blonde hair and blue eyes, so together we are having problems....but at least I am getting fat again....so that is helping. (but it is also really bad!) Anyways, we have a date with him for the weekend after next, and I am stoked! He is great!
Anyways, I love Hermana Lopez. My Spanish is coming and I love her accent. I love this work and things are coming along beautifully. We are getting along great and I laugh a lot. I love working hard and I see that as I work harder and harder, things become a whole lot easier. (Why in the crap did I not figure this out before?!?!? ) Working really hard is something that I know that I am going to have to implement into my career when I get home...all it takes is confidence and then the work really takes off, and I know now what I am capable of through Christ, and it really excites me. I love it.
I love you all so much. I hope all is well for you all and I hope that you know that you are everything to me!
Love, Hermana McDonald
