Buenas Dias! Well I have officially survived the first 10 days here in sunny mexico! It is SO HOT!! (aka the caption hahahahaha, missionary appropriate? …..definitely.)
Anyway if you’re wondering how I’m doing, I’m la la loving it! Its warm 25/8 and I love what I’m doing! Spanish is hard but I love it-plus they announced that ELDER HOLLAND IS COMING TO SPEAK TO US IN MAY!!!! Talk about reward psychology.
Anyway, the teachers all say our district has picked up the language away faster than anyone they’ve seen, So that’s “super bien”, the only problem is that I CANNOT ROLL MY R’S! (Lissie and mick might be the only ones who understand how big of a problem I have hahaha) so i do tongue exercises everyday to see if I’m getting better and yeah, I’d have to say that by the end of semana 6 i can join Lissie in rolling EVERY single stinking R while singing “Rudolph the red nose reindeer”…… lol pray for me guys.
I’m in a trio with Hermana Donaldson from Gunnison, UT and a Hermana Anderson from Bose! They are both going to McAllen Texas and they are so fun:) our District is all super cool, there are 3 sets of elders and another set of sisters!one of which is sister Savannah Taylor from Brigham city which is crazy but Its so fun talking about home with her!!
ALSO for all you FFA people Ryan Bake is here and we flew out together hahaha turns out he knows everyone in the county, and was asking me about everyone, and we got to talk about the fair and everything but not for long because I can’t even let myself think about missing 2 fairs in a row…..like who even does that.
Nothing super crazy happened this week other than Wyatt Johnson (who’s also here) kicked me- very point blank-smack in the “chest….s” so that kinda hurt Haha. We all play volleyball everyday so I’m gonna be really good by the time I get out maybe you can bring a team and come play us Bren;)
If you want something a little more spiritual in your life but not crazy then here’s something simple we have been doing. Put a penny in your shoe. Putting a penny in your shoe is like recognizing Gods hand in your life. Sometimes you can feel it so strong and it’s easy to feel, and sometimes it’s so hard to recognize you have to really wiggle your foot and look for it. But regardless of how hard you have to shake or maybe even take your shoe off to make sure, ITS ALWAYS THERE!! (Or you can go read Moroni 7, pick your poison) also before I sign out I wanted to share Hermana Donaldsons family rules because THEY ARE GOOD AND SOME OF YOU NEED THEM, you know who you are.
1-THEE most important decision you’ll ever make is the person you marry…🙂
2-be smart about the stupid things you do *…….checks box*
3- if you’re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
Anyway hope you all have a super bien semana (that means super good week mom:)) love you all thanks for the prayers they are so felt here♥
Love, Ryenne
