It has been a busy week! I think I blinked and the whole week had gone by, I feel like yesterday I was here typing last weeks email.
This week, Elder Sharp and I started doing our TRC lessons, which is teaching an investigator who is a native Spanish speaker the gospel. It is hard but it is also super helpful for us. We don't know if she is actually an investigator or not, but we are expected to treat her as such. We have already learned a lot about not over planning lessons, because we think the lesson will go one way, and it ends up going the complete opposite, and in a different language its really difficult, but it is also a really interesting and fun challenge! In our lesson on thursday, we had a member, a return missionary who served in mexico with us. she definitely saved us. We were teaching about the plan of salvation and we thought we were doing alright at explaining it. the investigator, Andrea, asked us a question that we thought translated to, "adam and eve sinned, but something good came out of it?" and we quickly answered with "si! perfecto!" but, in reality, she asked "so adam and eve sinned and something good happened, so if I sin, does something good happen to me?" and luckily the member was there to correct us!
another really fun part of my week (sorry mom) was going to the medical clinic to get my knee checked on. out of nowhere, my right knee started bugging me and after a few days of it getting worse, I decided to go get it checked. the doctor looked at it and had me go get x-rays done of it and we are going to look at them on tuesday this week. but the worst part of it all, is he told me that I have to stop doing squats! noooooooo! but I am being obedient and my knee feels a lot better now. still sad about the squats.
on wednesday, we got to host the new missionaries coming in! it was so fun! It feels like forever ago that I was climbing out of the car myself but it was only two weeks ago! I could definitely tell that some of them were really excited and others were really nervous. I think I did a good job at welcoming them and getting them excited to be here! I have seen a couple of them around campus and talked to them for a little bit and they seem to be having fun!
I am loving it so much here, I have had some hard days but I know what I am doing and I love this work. I have a great group of elders and hermanas around me and we love learning and helping each other learn!
