Week 73- You learn something new every day

Dear Friends and Family,

Beckstead (my trainer trained her too...
we are sisters in the mission) Me and Olivares

So this last week was a little crazy. Tuesday we had a training meeting with all of the sister leaders and zone leaders of the mission. That was really good as always. And then that night, my companion started to complain about her head hurting.

 

 

 



This was in the doctor's office. Made me laugh





Wednesday we went to the doctor where I almost passed out on the floor myself which they gave me medicine for... super fun! And then we got to the stuff my companion needed which to find out she needed her wisdom teeth out. 

 

Del Rio and I



Well that was a fun surprise because Thursday we were supposed to travel and getting your wisdom teeth out means that she won't be traveling. So Hna. Del Rio saved my butt and came with me to Valle Sagrado.

we dressed up in Ollantaytambo

 

 

 

 

Ollantaytambo first. There we taught a woman who was dumb. I am not talking about stupid, I'm talking about how she couldn't talk. That was an adventure. We would talk and she would type her response on the computer in REALY REALLY really broken Spanish. It was fun, but it was incredible the spirit you could feel when you teach simply and clearly.

 

 

My 17 month pizza

 

 

 

 

Then to Urubamba. We celebrated my 17 months with pizza which was delicious and then the next day we found a lot of people to teach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ex Assistant Castro and I

 

The best part was running into the ex assistant who has been with me in the same zone almost all of my mission. We couldn't believe how fast time had gone by and then he and the other elders started remembering all of the crazy things I had done and then me being in a cast and then after it all they were like wow, you really have been through just about everything. It's so true.



Anyways, so my companion is just barely able to open her mouth to take out 2 more wisdom teeth tomorrow, so I am doing splits again and traveling to 2 zones this week instead of just one. First to Abancay tomorrow and then to Andahuaylas and then we'll be back Sunday night... Kind of crazy. It'll be a fun LONG trip.

Well so this weekend I had some time on my hands staying in with my companion and I have picked up the guitar. They always say you learn something new every day and I learned how to play ''Someone like You'' by Adele yesterday. I'm gonna pick a new song tonight and learn it!!!

Rosado and I. We started in the same sector in Puerto

Well, this letter was really scatter brained but hope you all are doing well and see you soon! I will officially be home January 1st! The new year! Love you all!

Love Always,
