Hola hola hola! Phrase of the week is "Que Pasa Calabaza" and it's similar to "What's up buttercup". One of the elders started saying it and now everyone says it. The elders are so funny. They had a friend throw boxing gloves over the fence so they had a boxing match one night. It wasn't just a play fight, it was real...with real hard punches. One of the elders got a bloody nose lol. They are so crazy but fun! I have officially been a missionary for a month! The days are kind of slow but the weeks go by so fast. I am learning so much spanish. The teachers only speak Spanish and I can understand mostly everything they are saying. The gift of tongues is real. I am still not good at Spanish but I have improved so much. Also...I joined the choir with my companions hehe. I know...very surprising haha...but it is actually so fun. I'm terrible at singing but it is so fun to sing with hundreds of missionaries and feel the spirit. We had Elder Curtis from the...

My new favorite word is eggloaf lol. The MTC food is definitely interesting, on Sunday we had Keish for breakfast and Elder Leseur called it eggloaf and now all the elders in our district have created a band named Eggloaf. They have a concert every night in the boys bathroom. This week has been so good! I got to the MTC last Wednesday and we just go go go all day. I absolutely love my companions and district and teachers. I found some elders going to the Peru Trujjllo North mission!! I think there's only 5 missionaries here at the MTC going to our mission and I think I'm the only sister. Spanish is coming along slowly but I have learned so much. We taught our first lesson in Spanish yesterday and it went pretty good. We taught a guy from Ecuador and I don't think he speaks any Spanish. Thank goodness for my companions because they're so good at Spanish and could actually understand what he was saying haha. It was so good tho! I've just had classes and devotionals al...

Hey everyone!! I have officially been a missionary for a week and a half. I am in a trio with Hermana Goates and Hermana Webb. Hermana Webb actually went to Dixie State this last year so that's kinda crazy that we both went there haha. They are the kindest people and I am so excited to meet them in Provo! My district and teachers are also so awesome and so funny. It's going to be so sad when we leave each other after the MTC because we have all gotten so close. We taught our first lesson on Saturday and I think it went pretty well. The person we were teaching was probably an actor but it was still good practice. We were so scared but the lesson went super well and we are teaching her again on Thursday! My testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon has already grown so much. We studied the scriptures as a district and we would pause after each scripture to talk about it and gain new insight. It was amazing how we could get at least 10 different things out of ...
