Holaa! Family & Friends,
This week was fun! We had this
ward party for Argentina’s Independence Day, which happened to be on the
semifinal game day too. Anyways, it was a lot of fun. We ate empanadas
and a bunch of pastries. yuumm. I could talk with the members with
the ward and actually have real conversations. Everyone is so
awesome and so welcoming. They definitely have a lot of patience with me,
but they love to try to talk English. It’s great.
Meeting the members in the ward has
been really fun. I’ve gotten to the point where I just say I’m from Hawaii.
I’d say I’m from Utah...and then they just are like, wait? Why do you look like
that? Then they just want to know where my family is from so it makes
sense. So to make things easier...I just say Hawaii haha. Well literally
EVERY time I say Hawaii, they say -- ohhh Hawaii! How pretty! ohh like hula!
--- Then they dance literally every time and I love it.
Street contacting is a different
story. I’m really good at approaching people and starting the
conversations, but a lot of people talk way fast and have a thick accent. So, that’s
when my companion finishes the rest. I’ve gotten really good at posing
and smiling. You know like the wheel of fortune girl. I laugh when
they laugh, point at my tag when I need to, and I say "Si" a lot. Hopefully I’ll be saying good-bye to that girl soon though because I really
want to understand what people are saying!
Words of wisdom for this week:
Remember that we are all in this
together.
Heavenly Father has a plan for us.
But you gotta getcha getcha head in
the game.
Only with Jesus Christ can we bop bop
to the top.
Then, we’ll be soaring, flying. There
is not a star in heaven we cannot reach.
-- Always for you Jerm!!! -- haha
I love you all!! Read the section
faith in Jesus Christ in the true to the faith week.
Mucho Amor,
Hermana Pukahi
Prayers for Josh!!!
