Hello FAMILY!!!
It's week two at the CCM...MTC (in Spanish).
Sorry about that last email. I was stressed out on trying to write
everything I wanted ha ha. So P-day is every Saturday. It’s the
best day!!! We get to wake up early and go to the temple. Oh It's wonderful :).
I'm going to have to send pics in a different email cuz I have the bad
computer so I can't send pics...if that makes sense. Anyways, this week was sooo much better than last week! We
are finally situated and kinda sorta know what we are doing. My companion
Hermana Morris and I are working super well together. I really love her and I'm
so glad I have an awesome companion! She's honestly so fun! woot woot.
So we teach lessons to these "investigators"...they really are
teachers here, but one of them we didn't know he was a teacher...well he ends
up being OUR teacher!! He surprised us and we are like, wait? You're a member!!
And then he speaks English and all that stuff and yeah it’s kinda funny.
I guess…ha ha.

I really love my zone and we have so
much fun together. It's totally a bunch of random people from so many different
backgrounds, but without just one of them our zone wouldn't be complete.
I'm learning so much Spanish everyday. It's wonderful, but I know I
DEFINITELY still have a lot to go. Oh the CCM is wonderful! I love being
at the west campus. Just outside our classrooms is this little river and
sort of meadow thing. Well anytime we want we can just go outside and study. Oh
it’s awesome. It reminds me of the sacred grove...uh kind of...but for real!
You can feel the spirit so strong all the time. Sometimes I feel like I'm
just about to burst into tears because of all the strong people around me
striving to be better. It's an awesome feeling to be a missionary.
Seriously though sometimes I forget. I walk past the mirror and
look at my tag and I'm like…oh yeah!!! Then I get so happy :)

They are all my little ohana." |
We're going to be starting to teach
another Sister, who is actually our teacher right now. Her name is
Hermana Valdez. She is the sweetest!!! She will literally do anything for
us. She helps us learn and she can instantly bring the spirit every time she
talks. She is truly an example to me. I haven't gotten a picture
with her yet but I promise I'll send one of her and me next email :) Oh
and the new teacher we just got, (who we taught) is Hermano Mace. He
lives in Orem. JEREMY you know his little brother Mckay I think? Idk that's
what he said. But he's super funny and a great teacher.
I feel like I can be myself here.
It's awesome. My companion Hermana Morris and I are roommates with 3
other girls. They are in a trio...sorry I forgot what I told you last
time so I might have already said that. Anyways they are all so funny!!
The
last picture I sent was with Hermana Tu'aukalau....I think that's how you spell
it. Yep, yep! The only thing I don't like about this place. The
ONLY thing is the food. I mean I'm not a picky eater and I eat food!! I LOVE
FOOOD!! But I mean, I miss some other food.... that’s all I gotta say about it!
But all the workers here are super duper nice and so friendly and cute. What
great people I am surrounded with. I am truly blessed.

| Lunch Another Day With Roommates |
Oh I do have to say the best time of
the day is gym time!!!! So fun!! Volleyball can get pretty intense. My
companion played volleyball so it gets pretty competitive. OHHH yeahhh...uhhh
anyways, I love you all so much!!! Thanks for being wonderful examples to me! I
love you family :) You are the bestest family ever!...in the history of our
islands...just for you dad ha ha.
Jeremy and Jamison: Did you
guys get my letters? I'd love to hear from you :) go ahead and write me
back please!! Jeremy, be nice to Jamison. Jamison LISTEN to Jeremy.
He loves you and knows what's best for you. I want you guys to read
Jeremiah 31:3. It's about how God loves us. Always remember you have a
Heavenly Father who loves you and is always there for you. Do the best
you can every day okay? Jerm good luck this week!!! Just be you and
you'll do great! Don't stress too much okay :) The lord will help you with
anything, so make sure to say a prayer before try outs each day. Remember
you both have the priesthood. Respect that power and be grateful for it.
I love you guys so, so much!!!!
I LOVE MY OHANA! I KNOW THAT WE ARE
ETERNAL.
