5th letter

This week was really good. Our new district we got it pretty cool! They all study really hard and practice Spanish a lot! they'll be great! So this week was really good and I had some days that I struggled. One day my companion was struggling she just felt  like everyone was learning better than her and she was comparing the 18 year old boys to her self and got pretty down on herself.  I started to feel later that night just like I wanted to be able to teach better I'm not where I want to be but I want to be there now. But I prayed for help and our teacher noticed our faces I guess and talked to us and I felt better. I know I have high expectations for myself  but it will take time and hard work to get there. I know I can get there, and Christ will help me. My teacher reminded me of Christ's grace how he is the difference I shouldn't just rely on myself. I need to remember who else is my companion and let the spirit do the teaching and that will be enough. I am enough.And she showed me a scripture that I already really like D&C 78:17-18.
Friday we got our travel plans so that was pretty exciting! 
Saturday was Valentines day and me and Hna Lundberg made Valentines with scriptures about love on them and decorated our classrooms and gave our zone and teachers fun valentines. and her family sent a lot of treats so we gave those too! It was fun to see everyone so excited! OH and this day okay so mi companera wanted to do a Spanish temple session, they only do those on Saturdays at 8 am or 12. so we actually go special permission from the mtc pres. to go! We just couldn't tell any one! so I got to do a Spanish endowment session! It was pretty cool, I actually understood a lot! 
Sunday was so nice, I love them. We do a lot of singing and I love singing! We sing in sacrament, we sing a long to music and the spoken word (quietly but I still do ) and we sing in relief society and in our devotionals. So we have devotionals every Sunday and Tuesday and before they start we all sing the prelude music we do 3 or 4 songs and then an opening song! There is so much singing we sing before we start all of our classes too! I love it so much! In sacrament Pres. Goodman our branch president talked about how he had a son, who didn't like to swim he would not let go of the side of the pool. And he had a friend (pres G) who was an old Navy seal that said he could teach him how to swim, he was kind of worried but he let him. He took his on and went into the middle of the pool. and held him and said take a breathe and went under he came up screaming and sputtering but they did this over and over. until he got the idea. Well I related that to myself. I need to let go of the side of the pool, take a deep breathe and immerse  myself in the work.  
Yesterday it snowed a little like hail ish. I want to see snow again before I leave!!! but yes then we get to today and all is well! Just preparing to leave and all that fun stuff! And I don't think anything else really happened... so I guess I"ll talk to you Monday! and then I"ll be in South America!! woohoo...yeah.
