Bion Giorno Everyone,
I guess I should reallz saz Buono Notte.
Congrats Nicki on making it to the field§ Those in El Salvador are trulz blessed to have zou.
First off, I want to start bz sazing that I have class in a biulding in which everzone is learning another language. Apparentlz someone changed the language on this kezboard, cant fix it. Sorrz bout it. No parenthesis and no exclamations haha. Real tragic. This last week seriouslz went bz in the blink of an eze. It started rough after Thursdaz as one of our sisters who I loved, Sorella Bott, went home. She will be greatlz missed but hopefull she will return. In her absence I got to companions with Sorella Walch for a daz. I love her haha. It was fun. Now, mz permanent companion is Sorella Killpack. She was one of mz first companions so now were just not in a trio. Its great. Shes reallz servant minded and takes care of me a lot.
So now lets focus on the highlights of the week. Sundaz. Sundaz is a blessed daz. Two szllable bles-sed´, daz. Shout out to Sister Foster, Janice Kapp Perrz was our guest speaker. I dont know if I have ever felt so amaying and uplifted and just so warm and great inside. We started bz singing as Sisters in Yion. Turns out she put the music to that from a Pioneer§s poem. So amaying. The song took on a whole new meaning when I trulz focused on the words like never before. She also WROTE I love to see the Temple, A Childs Prazer, Armz of Helaman, Love is Spoken Here, I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ and so manz more. She put a medlez of 6 songs together and we performed it. We were so moved that we weren§t even half waz through the first line when everz sister stood up. Did I happen to mention that the week I entered the MTC the sisters represented more than half of the missionaries here. Oh zeah. Too bad I dont have exclamations...wah wah waahh. Last but not least, she re-wrote the lzrics to As Sisters in Yion and entitled in The Sisters of Yion. We were the first to sing it. EVER. It is inspired bz the amaying turn out of sisters flockings the field to take care of Heavenlz Fathers sheep.
Seeing as how Im running out of time Im going to do highlights from the other few proceeding amaying experiences.
Sundaz Night-
Had a Devotional with Brother Shane Littlefield and his precious wife. She said she would be all of our moms on Mothers Daz and gave us all hugs...from the pulpit.
Brother Littlefield told us a lot of stories from his time as a mission president which were reallz helpful in easing some of our fears.
Sundaz Night Movie-
We watched Elder Hollands recorded talk of Missions Are Forever. How could we not be more motivated and pumped. Too manz favorites but to name a few-
Be Zour First Convert
