After last P-day most of my energy went into welcoming all the new people from our district and trying to make them feel comfortable! they´re doing great! which is a relief for sure!! On friday My companion and the other two girls in our district and I tried out to be in a musical number for one of the devotionals which was SO fun! we actually did really well and we get to sing in front of EVERYBODY...sooo oops! ha! we sang ´´Yo Se Que Vive Mi Senor´´ which in English is I know that my redeemer lives. BEAUTIFUL! they all have such great voices! uhh...que mas...oh! We had a great devotional on Sunday by Elder Bednar...again! He gives the BEST devotionals!
On Monday Hermana Dunne and I started to feel really sick after dinner so we went on splits with our companions and then headed off to the clinic together and both got diagnosed with severe head colds which was NO BUENO! we spent the majority of Monday and Tuesday in bed which made me sad cause I missed the Tuesday devotional which was apparently really good! Anywho, late yesterday afternoon I finally made it outside of our casa for dinner and I´m feeling just great now :)
It´s so cool to see all of the new missionaries coming in! Elder Brammal and Elder Plummer from my high school are here and Elder Ross from Elementary is here too! (I haven´t quite got up the nerve to talk to him yet...yikes.) I just love it here! It´s 65 and sunny ALLLLL THEEEE TIIMMMEE!! me. gusta. My favorite part of the day is when I get to just sit outside and study for and hour or so! I love listening to all the birds and trying to shut out all the sirens and music of Mexico City. (It´s SUCH a contrast.)
Spanish is coming along nicely. Although yesterday I told someone ´´me gusta usted´´ Which I thought meant I like you! just sorta casually, but i guess it means, literally, ´´you please me´´ so that was creepy on my part...YIKES. It´s really hard but I´m understanding more and more every day. Which also means I´m forgetting how to speak English...yikes again. I´m trying to read the new testament along with Jesus the Christ but with my overall lack of language skills and James E. Talmage´s overall MASTERY of language skills It´s taking me a while. But I´m loving it!
I can´t help but think about all of my AMAZING friends and their decisions to serve missions! This morning in study I was reading in Alma ch17 and in verse 13 the sons of Mosiah are parting ways to go teach and preach and it says ´´´...they separated themselves and departed from one another, trusting in the Lord that they should meet again at the close of their harvest; for they supposed that great was the work they had undertaken.´´ Here is a group of brothers who had SO much faith in the lord that they knew for a fact that they would all see each other again. In a time of such hatred towards prophets and men of God one of them could have easily been imprisoned for life or even killed. But they knew that the task that they all gave up the thrown for was so important and they knew that it had to be done and that they would be protected.
I Immediately thought about all of us. I needed that SO much and It just shows that God speaks to us individually through the scriptures. They were written for us in these latter days. They are SO important to the gospel. I keep thinking about that one quote by someone cool who said ´´If you want to talk to God, Pray. If you want him to talk to you, Read.´´ I know that´s true.
Anyway, Tiene mas pregunta para mi? Yo tengo preguntas para ustedes! Hows back to school life treating you all? How are wedding plans coming along?? Read any good books lately? Has Logan taken the ACT yet??
I just love you guys! I spent most of this week in bed so I don´t really have pictures...Lo siento.
Mucho amo para ustedes!
-Hermana Moey!
