Mi Familia!                                                                                                     

July 10, 2014   -   Today I have learned a lot! A little bit of Spanish and a lot of bit of how to teach with the Spirit and love those I am teaching. I said my first prayer in Spanish and even shared my testimony in Spanish! But I cheated and used a book the whole time. Still counts. :)

Hermana Fowler was chosen as the Senior Companion because her picture was on the left, and I will be the Senior companion in three weeks, because my picture was on the right. :) We met the Branch Presidency over our District today and they were very interested to learn that I am an RN, and one of them is going to call my Mission President soon to let him know. So we will see what that means later. I am sure he already knows though.

July 11, 2014   -   We taught our first lesson today. In Spanish. It went OK. We just could not answer any of his questions . . . we just read our note cards and smiled at him when he was talking. We got our mail today for the first time! Two from Kami, one from Mom, and a cute package from McKell. There are 9 people in our District, plus me, makes 10. 6 are 18 year old Elders, 3 are 19 year old Hermana's . . . . plus one 22 year old me. Its OK though, everyone thinks I am 19 anyway! The Elders don't believe me when I tell them.

July 12, 2014   -   The girls in the gym today got busted. After volleyball they had the Elders leave and the Hermana's stay, and then they told us some of us were not following the dress code and it needed to change. I am glad I did not bring my yoga pants! Oh, and since we live at Wyview, our classes/gym/cafeteria are all at Raintree, so we cross a busy road like 10 times a day and people always honk and wave at us. so that would be the appropriate road to whistle on. Just sayin'.

July 13, 2014   -   Today I fell asleep during Sacrament and choir. I don't sleep enough here. I made may companion go outside with me to do jumping jacks during class yesterday because I kept falling asleep. Maybe I am anemic, or my mono is acting up again, because I sleep for 8 hours every night here . . . . it's okay, my companion thinks it's funny. :)

July 14, 2014 -   My P-Day is Wesnesday, so I will try to email some more "proof" of my MTC stay then! And we don't do the TRC until week 4, so no pretending you know Spanish and volunteering now!

Love you ALL!!! Adios mi Familia! I Love You!
Love, Hermana Markle :)
