Well get ready to laugh till you cry... So this week
has been nothing short of hilarious. My companions and I have so much
fun teaching people and finding people. They are both trainers so I
have two trainers because they are the Sister-training leaders for Casa
Grande. We had District meeting on Tuesday and President Toone said that
one of us was leaving in two days, So Wednesday and Thursday we were all super nervous, but we didn't get a call so we are staying together!
Some fun things we did this week was shopping!! It was so weird to
be in stores other than the grocery store. I bought lots of fun stuff
and I'm sending Melissa's Birthday present today! Watch out for it!
This week my Spanish has been improving a little bit, and I'm
starting to pick it up well, at least I think.. Yesterday was rather
interesting. We ate at a members home and they asked me to say the prayer
on the food. I've never done a prayer on the food in Spanish in front
of anyone... Well I said "gracias por la oportunidad comer la familia
Sebrings" which means "thank you for the opportunity to eat the
Sebrings..." Yeah talk about fun dinner conversation. I missed the word
"con" which means with.
Another thing that happened yesterday was we had Stake Conference and since I'm in the Spanish Branch we had to sit in another room and
listen to it be translated. Well the guy that was translating was doing
great, then he switched with someone else, and that guy was AWFUL. He
would skip sentences and he said "My wife is fat" instead of saying what
he was supposed to. So it was really awkward and our investigators
were there. So it was great conversation. Anyways, my companion
Hermana Romano, from Blackfoot, went in and started translating. She is so
good at Spanish and she helps me a ton.
On Wednesday
night my companions and I ate at a members home, and then we had a
lesson in Eloy. When we got to Eloy the people we were teaching made us
dinner...again! So we had to be kind and eat a second dinner. Next they
got out their instruments and played a show for us. They are in a band
and they are hilarious! They took lots of pictures with us, and played
us lots of songs. Talk about a FIESTA! We were all laughing so hard, and
trying to keep the food down. Also we got to do a service project and
painted this ladies house she kept telling me to do stuff but I couldn't
understand so I just smiled and nodded.. :) Language is fun!
Well that's all I got for this week! I have lots of pictures I'm
attaching to emails so please put them on my Blog! I hope everyone has a
wonderful week!
Love,
Hermana Greenhalgh
