1/13/13


Today we rode the bus to church! So that was kinda fun. Before church we talked with the missionaries because they spoke English and we were early haha Relief Society was first and the lady made sure to talk slowly and even knew some English words so I was able to understand basically everything and it was great. They were very welcoming and nice. Sunday school I didn’t get much to be honest ha Sacrament meeting was cool because it was Fast and Testimony meeting since last week was their celebration of the Three Kings or something like that. So it was way cool to hear everyone’s testimonies and you could really feel the Spirit I liked it. I was a little tired after church though because you have to way focus to try to understand what everyone is saying! Haha but lunch was good back with Blanca and I had a little siesta, which was way nice. We then met and hung out at the Knapp’s house and talked about the upcoming week and stuff and had some yummy crepes. For dinner Blanca made us pizza so that was cute. Her granddaughter was here again tonight; she wasn’t as scared of us this time! We even sang Jingle Bells together! Haha it was fun. Tonight at the Knapps’ we talked about how the theme for this trip is gratitude. We talked about how we are grateful for what we have at home, and also here. Last night Taylor and I were actually talking about that exact thing. We were discussing how we have significantly less here, by means of space and stuff and electricity and just everything in general. But we have been totally fine. I have no complaints. Our host mom is an amazing cook; I love all of her food-probably a little too much ha. And she is super sweet, my roommate is awesome, this city and country is beautiful this is such a great experience I am so grateful that I have been able to take advantage of this opportunity and to be here!
