Animo

Hola mi familia!  

so i´m sorry my emails have been a little pathetic lately, i`m getting a bit lazy...so here´s the update: i´m alive and well. and that about sums it up :)

actually i´m super bien right now.  we just got back from a trip to park Oncol and i don´t know what go into me but i had so much energy.  me and this other Hermana climbed the 1 hr trail in 30 minutes and ran down the whole mountain in 10 min, only to run back up to find the other hermanas and run back down again.  It felt so good. its been to long since i´ve hiked and i´ve decided trail running is one of my new favorite things :)   all my stress is suddenly gone.

The mission is a rollercoaster with really good days and really not so good days. this week consisted of them both, to the extreme.  just a sum of my not-so-good day, we went from a lesson with a super catholic who completely rejected everything we said to a lesson (more like a fight) with a super evangelico who´s thoroughly convinced that i´m going to hell (i´m flattered tha she was so concerned about my salvation.) i don´t think she could´ve been more bunt about what she thinks about us.  it was imposible to leave that fight, she wouldn´t even stop talking when we were talking. good grief. but yeah, no importa.  honestly its moments like that that i realize how strong my testimony is. so thank you super evengelico for those lovely, merciless words.

so as for my god day, we had a stake activity this week to present the new video gracias a que él vive.  the activity consisted of a talent show.  so in 1 day we prepared the coolest number of my life.  we performed a sweet version of if you could hie to kolob.  so the elders and i sang, i played the piano, one hermano played the drums and another on acoustic guitar.  i´ve never played the piano with drums and a guitar before, it was so much fun!  and then as teh show is starting this random guy asks me to sing with him in the show so last minute i sang a duet with him and it actually went really well.  but really that night was great.  it was as if all this stress that has been building in me just poured out as i pounded out the piano.

fail of the week:  i was preparing a plate of crackers and cheese adn picked up the plate to move it to the other table, so i turn around quickly and al the crackers fly off the plate and i´m left standing there with an empty plate in my hands, surrounded by broken, scattered crackers all over the ground.  (i still ate them, i was desperate)

i´m gonna have a fun time with english when i get home. i was trying to help my companion learn english.  so i say ¨we´re going to speak only english for 1 hour.  so in the noche..i mean noche...i mean....uhh¨ 

so thats my week.  its the last week of this transfer so we´re working super hard to achieve all our goals.  i don´t think we´ll have cambios but you never know. our sector is super small so i´m scared they´re going to close it....

well i love you all! take care :)
