casi pero no fumar

First, I'm sure my Spanish didn't make sense in my title but I'm not too worried about that.

Oh this weeks was good! Here in the mission, our President wants us to have 40 lessons a week, and the norm seems to be closer to 20-25. This week we fell short by 4! But I'm pretty determined to have 40 this week somehow!

I spoke in church yesterday. I was given the topic of the obra missional.. how typical as a missionary. Im not a fan of writing out a talk because I want to speak by the Spirit, but then I wrote it out the morning of, but mostly didn't follow it.. because I know Spanish eh! But actually it went really well. We had a lesson last night and the member who accompanied us shared something from my talk, and I don't remember what, but it made me feel good that I had impacted her feelings on missionary work through my talk aka the spirit.

Also our zone leaders told us that we were good examples to our district.. yay!

Also, also also, I was told by a few people that I speak beautifully. That's a booster! One of the times it was followed by, you have beautiful eyes. (The man was borracho) That is another story in itself though...

This week I was reading in chapter 5 of PMG where it talks about the Book of Mormon and how it is the keystone of our religion, and Pres. Ezra Taft Benson mentions that it is in a least 3 ways...1 testifies of Christ, 2 contain the fulness of the Gospel, and 3 if the foundation of testimony. Something that we teach but hadn't put much thought into these 3 things. Honestly we should never go a day without reading something in the BOM!

Okay, Hna Afu! Yes I was super blessed to work wtih my MTC comp! It was a good time, we pretty much talked in Spanish the whole time, except when she had to tell me a story what was hard to explain.But we had some good talks. In our studies in the morning she seemed to talk in everything I said like it was gold! Goodness I love her. Her Spanish has improved so much too! And boy does she ever look slim! Haha

My skirt is almost finished I've been slacking off on my sewing at night because I'm too exhausted, but none the less literally just have the hemn to finish and will be done for our zone conference this week! One more thing; I was reading this week in the Liahona, and I can't remember where it was, tal vez in Pres. Pakers talk.. Sometimes answers to prayer are not recognized because we are too intent on wanting confirmation of our own desires. Still learning lots each day, and I love learning!

Anyways, con mucho amor, Hna Tagg
