Carta De La Semana

Hola familia y amigos!  I can't believe it is already P day again.  It seems like time is passing so fast!  I can't believe how much Spanish I have learned in such little time.  On Wednesday we got the opportunity to watch stadium of fire.  We were able to watch the flyovers and the fireworks and we had permission to stay up later that night.  Although it did make it hard to get up the next morning for our service project.  For our service project we vacuumed the hallways in the classroom building.   On Monday We had our first TRC lesson.  This is when we are required to teach a lesson to a person of interest. (They have changed Preach My Gospel a bunch and one of the things they changed was getting ride of the term investigator.)  The person may be a volunteer or a real person of interest we have no idea.  The lesson has to be in complete Spanish.  We had to teach for 45 minutes!  I had no idea how we were supposed to even say that much Spanish.  But some how we did it.  Our person of interest's name is Ana.  She is from Columbia and is also a grandma.  We asked her about her family and she showed us pictures of her children and grand kids!!  We taught her that families can be together forever and about living day prophets.  The gift of tongues is very real.  If it wasn't there is no way I would have been able to teach her for that long.

Tie trade night!  Here are the ties that I traded for.

They have a bunch of random shirts in the store for 2 dollars so we all got matching ones and wore them to gym.  We call ourselves the Somalia Pirates.

Another picture of our room only this time Elder Douglas is on the crutches.  Behind us is one of the many beautiful pieces of artwork that are here.

Another picture of one of the paintings.  They're super cool to walk around and see and the detail and complexity of them is crazy!
