Wow this is crazy, I feel like I've been here for a year but also 20 minutes hahaha time is super weird here! anyway this place is awesome! ummm lots of things have happened this week! more and more spanish everyday! its literally crazy! Some days I'm like hey I can understand them, and some days I just sit completely clueless haha its really hard!
COOL STUFF
So my sophomore year of High School I would get anxiety attacks basically where it would become hard for me to breath or I would just feel a lot of pain in my back but it was so annoying because I wasn't really stressed about anything and I would always think to myself my life is pretty dang easy why am I feeling this way...I know why now :) So this week was a lot of spanish, like always, but my teachers and district challenged us to learn 60 words a day, 10 phrases a day and 3 scriptures a week. My companion really started to struggle with this challenge and became extremely doubtful and anxious! She would get stomach aches and we would run to the bathroom because she thought she was going to throw up! It was really hard for her, one afternoon she spent a couple of hours with a counselor that helped her a lot. I then had the chance to talk to her about what I had felt my sophomore year of High School and how I handled it, she told me it helped her so much and I felt so good after because I know now why I had experienced that! So anything you are going through right now, you never know who or when it could influence someone else's life!
FUNNY LATINO STUFF
So my teachers are hilarious but theirs just a few funny stories! Entonces they don't have screens here and the windows and doors are opened everywhere and so bugs and birds fly in sometimes haha! but a huge moth flew in and everyone in the room was like pointing at it and our teacher went straight up to it and grabbed it with his hands and killed it hahah it was actually so gross but so funny! One time the sink in the bathroom wasn't working and our teacher just kicked the pipe and it suddenly started working haha! One time my computer wasn't working and my teacher just hit the keyboard sooooo hard and it started working hahaha its the funniest thing! Hahhaha this story is so funny but this sunday we had relief society in English which is the best! and we ended with singing "I am a child of God" and while we were singing 3 bombs went off near our building hahaha which is apparently really common in Mexico but all the new Hermanas looked so scared hahahaha it was so funny!
So many ups and downs this week haha its funny! Some hours I'll be doubting everything and then the next hour I'm like this is the best place on earth! Hahaha it just depends! I love everyone and miss everyone! Keep sending me pictures (Garrett and Sydney) haha
