Hola!!
I
miss you guys so much! The days go by slow but the weeks go by fast. I
am learning so much! I just love my companion Sister Batemen. We get along so
well and have become fast friends. I
love my district, they are sooo awesome and my zone is pretty sweet!! We all
just connect so well! The second day was all orientation, class
and eating. It really is eat, class, eat, class and eat some more. I've lost 10 pounds already because I am
only limited to 3 meals a day no snacking or junk food:(
The MTC is soo big. It's 91
acres so we get a lot of walking time. It's so beautiful here
and the weather is amazing! We do have random storms that are crazy with lots
of thunder and lighting but I love it because it reminds me of home. Yeah, we
felt the earthquake. We got the after shock of it and it lasted for like 5
minutes but it wasn't that bad. We didn't know how big it was until a couple days
ago. The world could be on fire and we wouldn't even know it ha-ha!
The Spanish is coming along great! It's hard but I can already pray
in Spanish and bare my testimony and have a very small conversation. It's
amazing how fast you learn the language! We have been teaching an investigator
and at first it was really hard and my companion and I were flustered and
quickly forgot everything we learned. As we went on it got better and I knew
that what I was teaching was right. After that the lessons got soo much better.
One lesson I forgot my notes and I started freaking out! So, I said a prayer and
all of a sudden everything I had studied came to my remembrance. I was able
to speak in broken Spanish ha-ha and understand him. It was amazing and the
spirit was so strong!! Yesterday he committed to baptism and it was the most
amazing thing ever! I love teaching. It is really hard and they talk fast but I
can understand them for the most part. Sometimes its a game of charades ha-ha!
The food here is very Mexican. Every Tuesday we get Costco pizza which is amazing and the other day we
had hamburgers and I scarfed down two. I miss American food but Mexican is
good. Okay, so the milk here is soooo good! It's kinda sweet and ice cold. I don't think I will be able to drink our milk again I have like 3 glasses
every meal. And guess what they have Nutella!!!!! I have Nutella on toast
everyday ha-ha!
Easter was good we had a lot of really good devotionals. I kept
wondering what you guys were doing all day. I am so glad that I am
serving, this is so amazing. A mission is the foundation for your life, it is really
true. I love being a representative of Christ. Our life is a calling and our
calling is to return to him :)
Oh, I almost forgot, I got a package this week from one of my
friends Dillon Stratton! We only accept packages from mydearmissionary.com. He sent me a dozen Krispy Kremes and it was amazing!!! Everyone was jealous, it
made me happy. Yesterday I sprained my thumb pretty
bad playing volleyball and it swelled up like a balloon it was fun, not! It's
okay now though. Don't worry I am doing great and cannot wait to hear back
from you next week!
Love you!! Hermana Heacock
Sister Dunn, I met her at the Phoenix Airport. We are in the shuttle to the MTC.
