I didn't do as well this week about keeping notes of everything that I
wanted to tell you guys throughout the week so this email is probably
going to be a little bit shorter than usual. Sorry about that. I'll
try to do better next week.
So
remember in my email last week how I said that we were going to be doing
cross-fit with an hermana here who is an instructor? Well... we did...
and I almost died!! Okay... Not literally but I LITERALLY couldn't
breathe when we finished the workout. I almost threw up because I
couldn't breathe and then my companion got sick with the combination of
the hard workout and the thought of me getting sick. So that was pretty
much the hardest thing in the world. haha and I was sore for days
afterward which Hermana Snyder decided meant that we needed to continue
doing crazy cross-fit workouts every day to work out the muscles. So
pretty much yesterday was the first day this week that I'm been able to
walk normally because I wasn't quite so gosh darn sore. Crazy Hermanas
:) But I know it's good for me because we're going to be walking a LOT
in Chile and I have to build up my strength so that I don't completely
die the first couple of days.
I
only have one more week in the CCM then I'm headed out to Chile!! I
cannot believe how the time has flown by!! I don't know Spanish yet!!
Okay I know quite a bit of Spanish now and I can understand pretty much
everything but I can mostly just speak gospel Spanish... I have a pretty
hard time just having a normal conversation with someone but when I
teach a lesson it's not too hard because those are the words that I use
all day long. So I'm going to have to work on my conversational Spanish
a lot more!! In a week from today I will be either headed to or already
in Chile and I will not be speaking any more English!! So that should
help me to get the language a lot faster!
Have
I told you how musical my district is? The guys are constantly singing
which is super fun! We started practicing out musical number for when
we leave the CCM. All of us have a special musical number when they
leave. We decided to sing "Mas Cerca Dios de Ti" because our district
sounds so good when they sing it!! They guys have amazing voices!! I
also got "A Child's Prayer" and "If the Savior Stood Beside Me" in
Spanish which is super exciting because I LOVE both of those songs!! :)
The
hermanas in our Casa who are from Mexico and Peru left Sunday night!!
It was so sad! They were sobbing and hugging us and saying how much
they were going to miss us!! I am going to miss those girls so much! We
had some fun taking pictures the night that they were leaving :) haha
I'll send some of them.
I love you all so much and I miss you!!

Oh I forgot to say that we went to the temple today!! Well, we went to
the visitor's center(I think I told you already but the temple is closed
right now) ... and it was gorgeous!! I was sad that we couldn't go in
to do a session but the spirit is so strong even in the Visitors Center!
We watched an amazing video about eternal families and it was so
touching!! I know that families can be together for all of eternity
through the ordinances performed in the Holy Temples. The temple is a
beautiful and wonderful place and I am so glad that we got to go!!

Part of this mystery solved!! We found it open when we were walking on
Tuesday!! I think the mirror is just for decoration and it stores the
hose!! Interesting! |

Me! |
|
Hermana Snyder and me at the visitors center |
|
Taking pictures the night our Hermana's left. It was a challenge to get
us all in at once!! Hermana Peterson is in the front in the first
picture haha I love it! |
|
Me again! |
|
We just had to do a Beatles picture. I think I was the only one that
didn't really get the concept of how to make myself look like I'm
walking when I'm really not. Haha. |

gorgeous hall in the visitors center at the temple |
|
All of our district that is going to Osorno. |
|
On our way to the temple we saw lots of workers. Look at this dude's
broom!! they were all like this. I feel like he's about to fly away on
his broomstick!! |
|
The whole district! |
|
We all dressed up for our going away pictures for the CCM slideshow on
Sunday and we all ended up matching with red, white, and blue in our
casa so we just had to take a picture :) |
