Phew! We seriously have almost every minute planned out of every single day! It's GO GO GO! I am sooo happy my companion is super good at being to places on time! But ya, it's really like the Hunger Games in a way ha ha in that I am in the "Training Center".
My finger is fine now! It still feels weird when i put my hand in a fist, but it's probably 'cause it had to just fix itself lol i didn't see a doctor, i just let it do what it does because i didn't really have/want to make time to go see him lol for a few days it was swollen, but then it went down and had a little bruise on it, but it's all good now :) I just thought it was pretty funny that i hurt my finger on my second day here :P
For our sacrament meetings, people are randomly selected the morning of.. welll... the second of, more like... to give a talk in their language. Which is kinda scary, but good i guess. After sacrament, the elders go to their class and the hermannas go to "music and the spoken word" in a chapel that we have here on campus. Church starts at 8am every week. That night, we go to a long devotional which is always way good! Tuesdays and Sundays are 'devo days'. This Tuesday we were able to hear from Elder Christofferson. It was way cool! The devotionals help me so much 'cause sometimes... it gets a little hard and discouraging, but the devos help me to keep going 'cause you always feel so good after them... like you can conquer the world! lol. There is totally a special spirit here, but i don't really notice it untill we go off campus to get a Jamba Juice on our pdays. It's just a different feeling. Kinda like being on the Temple grounds all day :) It's so peaceful!
Oh, ya, surprise with Luz (our 'investigator' from last week)... she sent our class a video message saying she couldn't take anymore lessons from us 'cause she was going to Argentina again, so we were all sad. We also were suppose to be getting a new teacher this week... and we found out the next day when Luz was our new teacher (wha...?!) that she was actually a member the whole time! lol And then we were told that we were going to get a new investigator and our other teacher, mr. Vargas, popped up on the television ha ha but ya. I LOVE my teachers!!! They are so patient and so good at teaching, it's amazing. They are also just plain cool teachers too. I'm going to teach our "new investigator" next week.
My whole district is going to Argentina Buenos Aires Sur mission, so we are all going down together, which is cool! We have 3 companionship in our room, and one bathroom. Which makes it hard to shower and stuff... but we make do. I just get ready in the kitchen, and another one of the girls actually washes her hair in the sink ha ha. It's kinda nuts.
There is a program called 'Dear Elder', and its a really easy way to write to me! Spread the word! I like hearing about even just day to day stuff... If anyone wants to do that :) it's free to do. (www.dearelder.com)
