anyways for this week we got all new teachers and one of them is Hermana Gatica, and she was comps with Meghan smith!!!!! we talked a lot about her and her family and it was just super chill!!:) also Hermano Rossi knows Mason Smith, i am not sure how he knows him but he said he did and we talked about him a little bit too:)
Another cool thing that happened was i was sitting here in the CCM and all of the sudden an Hermana walked by and i swear i recognized her so i went up and said, "hey are you from Alpine??" and she was like yeah how did you know that and it turns out she is Hermana Castleton in our stake! we talked for a bit and i had known her little sister but it was nice to talk to someone from the wonderful place of alpine:)
Oh so now that we are in our last week we do things differently, so on sunday when we have family night instead of doing an activity we go and teach english to the latinos! i didnt realize how hard english was until i was teaching it!! but it was super fun! i taught Hermana Morenho from brazil and she had already a little bit of english but not really, she is super chill and we just talked in spanglish for the whole time about everything:) There is this hermana from Argentina that speaks absolutely perfect english!! she said that when she was 4 her mom sent her to this private sschool and she was there for 11 years and theyl learned english there. so she is completely fluent! not fair!!;)
We lost our soccor ball this week so we have played volleyball tons, and i forgot how fun it was! i absolutley loved playing volley ball with the homies back home and its not the same playing with people here:( still fun tho:)
umm i realized that when i got down here that i wasnt really familiar with the scriptures and didnt know when to use them or anything, it was rough and now i am getting better on knowing when to use certain scriptures to answer questions. i wish i would have studied them more before!! dang!
thats pretty much it for this week, but this is the last time i am going to write for 11 days.....because we leave this tuesday and then dont get a pday until the following monday. so this is it for two weeks!!! i love you all and hope all is well in the land of the Free;)
Love you
