Translation:

I am going to write tomorrow.  I don’t have time (today).  But I am going to train (someone).  Here name is Hermana Peters.  She is from a country I am not familiar with.  I think it is Papa New Guinee or something like that.  I hope I can help her.  President Smart called to tell me that I am going to train her because the situation (or her) is a little special.  She does not know English or Spanish!  I don’t know what language she speaks!  We talk more tomorrow.

Hola a todos <Hello everyone>!

I want you all to know that I’m honestly so happy right now. Things feel like they’re actually working out and hopefully we can actually start to get this area moving. Too bad it has to be right as transfers end. 🙁 We’re pretty sure we’re going to stay together for at least another transfer, this area is still sooooo fresh and new I can’t imagine leaving it now!

Hola a todos!

Long time so see huh? Well, we ended up writing last week on a Wednesday because of holidays and stuff shutting down and whatnot, so I don’t have a whole lot to report on today… but here’s what I do have:

I have a new mission president! He’s cool, really short and kinda reminds me of the guy from Three Amigos. Very vaguely written I know. It’s just I don’t have a photo to send you. Sorry. But we did meet him and his wife and they’re great. Honestly. They’re Los Smart and I’m very excited to work with them and see what they’re going to offer to this mission. I’m ready for them and their special gifts God has given them to help us right now, in this time, in the Puerto Rico mission.

El tiempo corre, aprovéchala (Time runs, take advantage of it)

Hola a todos!

This week was a fun one, mostly because I have officially been on the mission for 6 months! Woooo-hooooo! Yeah! Look at me, I’m a seasoned misionera. You can’t call me a greenie anymore. Well, if you really wanted to you could but I’d like it if you didn’t. 🙂 But I can’t even describe this feeling I’ve got about the time I have on the mission. Honestly, it feels like just last month I was saying goodbye to my Netflix account and the mess that is the continental United States. But here, I am exactly a third of the way done with my mission. I honestly can’t believe it. The time moves so fast it scares me sometimes.
