Me & My Mighty Whitey Magic Underwear

So this week has been awesome! We are currently teaching a blended family and the moms name is Amber. Amber is like my soul sister I swear she’s so awesome and I feel like she’s the person who “turned me into a missionary”.  One day this past week we were teaching her and she just started exclaiming to us how awesome our message was and how much sense it made and she had wondered all her life about these questions and now it finally fit together! It was the first time in my life I have actually seen the Gospel take root in someone’s life for the first time and just flourish. I cant explain the feelings that come with that!!
Amber also has a brother who will sometimes sit and ask us questions about the church, he and amber were asking us some random questions and then he randomly blurts out, “Hey! Don’t you guys wear magic white underwear?!”
You can bet your bottom dollar there was a little red angel on my shoulder BEGGING me to explain how when I wear my magic white underwear I can read minds and if I don’t wash them for a long enough time then I can teleport into other dimensions.
I guess that’s why God gives us someone to literally sit on the other side of your shoulder who obviously has her red devil under control and kindly sorted out the situation😂🤷‍♀️.
Everyone keeps asking how my Spanish is and my girl Hna Taylor explained it PERFECTLY in her group so imma just let her say it…
“I’m at the point where I understand a pretty solid amount of spanish, like I’m no longer confused in lessons or at member’s houses. however, some members have really wack accents & also speak really, really fast. the spanish missionaries here are basically just 20 white kids from across the states attempting to learn spanish, & I’ve realized that a key part of being a spanish missionary is smiling, nodding, agreeing & then walking away & asking your comp, “what did they say?” and they say “I have no idea” and then you both shrug & just keep going.”
I literally cannot explain how accurate this is….😂😅
But I do love the Spanish work that is for sure!! There’s always something fun in it!  I have only had one thing I didn’t like and that was matte.  Matte is an Argentinean herbal tea that is drank in a very specific way.  It definitely looks like weed and tastes like what I imagine smoking feels like… that makes no sense but it’s the best way to describe it.
But also we tried it from some a few guys drinking in an alley…am I as worried as I should be? Probably not… don’t worry mom:)
Also this week my scriptures on hand & heart have been in Mormon 8. In this chapter Christ tells the people that judgement is His. That in the end if we can just hold on and try to have charity it’ll all come out in the wash.  I’ve been really really trying to watch myself with this one because it’s hard for me.  But its true, if we really try to do our part to the absolute best of our ability then we don’t have to worry about what will or “should” happen to others.  So try that one out this week and let me know how that goes!!:)
Love you all and have the best week!  Be safe!
Love Ryenne
