Well this week has been so crazy! All we ever do is sit and learn and then eat! seriously haha it is so bad! Good thing the food isn't to good or else I would be in trouble! I cant believe that another week has gone by! literally it is crazy to think I have been here for two weeks it feels like I just got here! Last week we taught an investigator about 5 times it was really cool! In the last lesson I asked if he wanted to be baptized! in Spanish! it was really cool he said yes! it was such a great feeling even if he isn't a real investigator the spirit is still so strong in our meetings and is really helping me to learn! Then the next day our investigator walks into to class and he is now our teacher! My whole zone was in shock! but it is really nice because he really know how to help us because he saw the "real us!" that night he did some one on one coaching with us and we talked in English... which doesnt sound like that big of a deal but we get in trouble if we talk to our teacher in English anyways! haha when we were talking he gave me the weirdest look and i asked him what he was thinking and he told me that because i never talked in the lesson that he thought i just didn't talk like ever... which you all know is not true! haha it was so funny! really he looked at me and told me i was a completely different person! i just laughed and told him i always have something to say i just cant ever think of it in Spanish! The days here go by so slow! but the weeks fly by. it doesn't really make much sense but it does in the mind of all missionaries! we wake up everyday at 6:30 and we don't get home until 9:30! it is crazy we have two three hour classes a day and them about 3 more hours of either personal or language study! Gym time is my favorite time! and we always play sand volleyball! it is such a great way for me to just let go! Eric i haven't taken my companion out though hehehe! jkjk Last Thursday i had a really cool experience! haha and of course it started with me having a complete come apart! really Eric, Kylie, and kate it was worse then the one week in church! it was bad i said something in english to my teacher i dont even remember what it was and he asked me to say in in spanish which of course i didn't know how to say it so i just said No Say. with means i dont know in spanish haha i say it all the time.. anyways and he wouldnt let the class move on until i said it so i had to look it up and i just felt like everyone was waiting for me to say it and i couldnt figure out how to do it. anyways i figured our how to say it and then went on in class. I had started tearing up but i was holding it in and then all of the sudden my book of Mormon fell off my desk and all of notes and bookmarks fell our and when everywhere and i just lost it! the other teacher that was in the class with us took me into the other room and asked me why i was so upset and i told him that i had just learned that a family friend had pasted and that i having a really hard time with language and i just lost it i cried for like 45 minutes... it was terrible! my mustache started growing.. that is a joke for you kylie sorry for the rest of you that wont understand that! anyways... he then talked to me about his mission and what helped him and asked me to offer a prayer for comfort and to be able to learn the language. it was amazing really after it i have never felt so calm in my life. I instantly stopped crying and was able to just talk with him and it was amazing! honestly the MTC is just such a roller coaster of emotions but it is amazing the learning that has come from all of it! i have learned so much about myself and I wouldnt change this for the world! It is amazing what the lord does for his missionaries seriously i have been blessed in so many ways! I am so glad for the opportunity to serve the lord! really i am so blessed to be able to be a tool in his hands as he prepares for people to learn the gospel! I feel his love in my life everyday! I am so thankful for the wonderful opportunity that i have been given and i am so blessed! Thank you all so much for the support i feel your love in my life everyday it is so weird to not see you all. i just think that you are coming to walk into the classroom one of these days! it is a weird feeling! Kylie tell your mom that i started crying the other day because one of our branch presidents wife wears the same perfume as her and it made me think of her! I love this work so much i have never been pushed so hard but i have never learned so much! i Have learned that Christ is always with us he is on our right and on our left! I have learned how blessed i am to have such amazing parents literally the best parents anyone could ask for! Mom and Dad thank you so much for the support that you give me you are amazing and Dani, Niki and i are so blessed to call such amazing people our parents! Dani and Niki please give Dexter Tag and Ezra a huge hug today from there aunt courtney and let them know how much i love them!
