You can be forgiven of your FISH, no matter how PREGNANT you are!

OH MY WORD. Guys, the mtc is totally freaky. But I have grown to love it! My conpanion is Hermana Feddock! She is one of the girls I met before we left, and I seriously love her! we get along so well!! We work well together, and teaching comes easy to us as long as we know which words to use in spanish!! Hence the title of this email!! 

So there we were, teaching our investigator Claudio (our spanish teacher). Hna Feddock said "You can be forgiven of your pescados!" Instead of saying "You can be forgiven of your PECADOS". Pescados is fish, and Pecados is sins... SPANISH IS SO HARD... hahahah we had a very good laugh though! Then she made it even better by saying "UY! Estoy embarasado!!" which sounds like "IM SO EMBARRASSED!" but actually means "I am pregnant" hahahah that was definitly the turning point of the MTC. 

A mission is hard, especially when you dont speak the language. but I know that this is where i need to be. Shall i not go on in so great a cause?? I have had so many tender mercies since I got here. This is where I am supposed to be!! 

It is beautiful here! I cannot even begin to describe the thunderstorms. The term "raining cats and dogs" has never been truer! And it goes on for HOURS!!! 

My District is only girls! Which is the first time this has happened in the Colombian CCM history. how cool??! I love it though! We have all gotten so close. All of us can sing, and sometimes we will catch the elders listening outside our classroom door to us singing. It makes me feel so good! And then they asked us to sing at a CCM fireside after conference here! We are told to share our talents, and we are! 

I have always loved rice, but we have it with every dang meal here!! I hate so say it... but I need some variety! So if anyone wants to send me some red pepper flakes in a few weeks... that would be great... They have really small breakfasts, and HUGE LUNCHES. Then tiny dinners. it is taking some getting used to. 

I attatched a picture of me and my companion with our home flag and the bolivian flag... I love it! This is so fun! We are only allowed our cameras on P day, so i didnt have time to take pictures before we emailed. 

I wish i had more time, but I dont. I am so lucky to be a part of this work. I love it here, even if I cry myself to sleep a lot of nights. This time will go by fast, and I am going to make the most of it! 

Thank you all for your emails and love and support. I will email as many of you back as possible, cause I love hearing from you!! 

THANK YOU ALL. I LOVE YOU
