My new companion is Sister McCurdy. She is one batch below me, which is why I am follow up training her. I am SUPER happy to be her companion. She is seriously so kind and patient. Which is good since I am fairly certain that I'm not exactly the perfect senior companion. BUT I'm trying! So it's the thought that counts? Haha. She is a really good gymnast. She actually had a scholarship to SUU but it fell through because she had broken her back in the past. She is twenty like me and her birthday is also in June. I think I am only a couple days or a couple weeks older than her. I can't remember which but asking means I have to pause emailing and we don't exactly have all day (; no but she is awesome. We get along really well. She struggles with the language but I have been trying to help her and it's really good for me to because I am the only one who can talk so I have to improve.
I have actually had 4-5 people that were super surprised this week that I am only this far in my mission because of my language! Which makes me super happy! I am finally at the point where I can sit at an FHE or Birthday Party here and understand what's going on instead of continually nodding my head and pretending I know what's happening! Haha this lady kept saying "She really does know the language!" I'm like "YESSS!" haha. Also it was really funny. I met this lady from about an hour south of Allen who spoke Waray Waray S and she switched to Waray Waray S halfway through the conversation and I didn't even notice. It's cool being able to understand more than one language!
We have a BAPTISM this Saturday! Her name is Jeaneveb (Genivive) and she is in her 30's? She is SO prepared! As in we went to teach her the last of lesson 4 before her interview and she pretty much taught it to us. She is awesome! I am happy to be able to be there to see the choice she's made! We also taught her about missionary work for lesson 5 and she told us she's taking one of her coworkers to church. I'm like.. GOLDEN! Picture the sound of angels heralding. Haha.
Mom, don't worry about me! I am doing great! I have the best support here in the world (the Lord) and even if I will struggle in the future I know that it's for my learning and good! (D&C 121)
Hey thanks for the package! I was happy to recieve it! Thanks for the cough drops! I have a sore throat today so just in time! Haha! And seeing that chap stick about made my life. Hah. And everything else! I was sad though because it had no words from you all! cough cough write me cough cough! Haha I guess I can't talk since I was the worst writer ever. But no thank you so much. I really appreciate it! And thank the Sprouse family for me please? I was NOT expecting two packages and when I opened the other one I was so touched to see that it was from them. It made me feel so loved to see that they were thinking of me! It made me so happy!
JAMIE! You gwapa. You just get more gwapa every day. I can't even believe how old you are. Stop it. Hah just kidding. I love you sister and I miss you! I hope your birthday is so good! And I hope everything in your life is good too.
Love you all!
Sister Sprouse
P.s: Our apartment right now has termites, and the babies fall on my desk, I don't know where from. So we poisoned my desk and then we poured the rest down the bathroom drain. Before we knew it, COCKROACHES were emerging from the drain like those dead bony pirates of the carribean emerging from the depths of the sea! Sis. McCurdy killed 17! (actually 16, one of our lizard friends killed one of them for us.) But yeah. Too many cockroaches for one day if you ask me! Haha
